Jessica Alba and her partner Danny Ramirez have firmly addressed swirling rumors that the actress was romantically involved with an NFL quarterback. The couple took to Instagram to share separate slideshows documenting their romantic getaway to Mexico, showcasing their affection and dispelling the gossip.
Public Display of Affection in Vacation Snaps
The Mexican-American duo did not hold back in their vacation photos, displaying plenty of public displays of affection. Alba, who will turn forty-five next month, is twelve years older than Ramirez. The newly divorced mother of three and the star of Captain America: Brave New World have been inseparable since they were first spotted flying back from a romantic trip to Cancún on July 14.
Culinary and Cultural Explorations
During their time in Mexico, Alba and Ramirez indulged in culinary delights at upscale restaurants such as Em and Martínez. The Pomona-born beauty and the Chicago-born, Miami-raised actor also immersed themselves in culture by visiting Museo Soumaya and the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City.
In one intimate boudoir snapshot, Alba was seen reading Don Miguel Ruiz's 1999 bestseller The Mastery of Love, a book focused on fostering healthy relationships. The Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performer, who has an impressive 50.6 million social media followers, captioned her slideshow: 'The best week in one of my favorite cities - belly full, heart fuller.' Ramirez responded simply with 'Tú,' meaning 'you.'
Instagram Official and Romance Rumors
Ramirez made their relationship Instagram official with a slideshow on January 10, while Alba began posting pictures of him on February 20. He captioned his own slideshow 'Mexico mágico,' to which Alba commented 'My heart' accompanied by three emojis.
Alba inadvertently fueled romance rumors with Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow when a photo of them sitting at a casino gaming table in Las Vegas at 2 a.m. went viral. However, it was clarified that the Too Much guest star and the newly single twenty-nine-year-old athlete were merely part of a larger group attending the launch of Zero Bond inside the Wynn Las Vegas. Other attendees included Mark Wahlberg, Kevin Costner, Tom Brady, LeBron James, and Alix Earle.
Divorce Settlement and Co-Parenting
After sixteen years of marriage, Alba and her ex-husband Cash Warren finalized their divorce on February 13. According to reports from TMZ, the settlement involved Alba paying Warren a total of $3 million, with $1.5 million paid immediately and the remaining $1.5 million due in 2027.
The founder of The Honest Company and the forty-seven-year-old co-founder of Pair of Thieves will continue to co-parent their underage children: daughter Haven, fourteen, and son Hayes, eight. Their eldest daughter, Honor, seventeen, is attending her father's alma mater, Yale University, where celebrities such as Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, and Anderson Cooper have also been associated.
