Jessica Alba appeared hesitant to make her relationship with boyfriend Danny Ramirez red carpet official at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday. The couple arrived separately to the star-studded event held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art following the Academy Awards, but were spotted leaving together at the end of the night.
Coordinated Arrival Without the Spotlight
The 44-year-old actress, known for her role in Honey, made a dramatic entrance in a show-stopping sequin gown while Ramirez, 33, opted for an all-black coordinated look. Despite their matching ensembles, they maintained distance on the red carpet, walking too far apart to be photographed as a couple.
After mingling with fellow A-list celebrities at the soirée, where Ramirez had made a low-profile entrance earlier, the pair were seen departing together. This public appearance comes just one week after they quashed split rumors by posting photos from a romantic getaway.
First Public Romance Since Divorce
Alba's relationship with Ramirez marks her first public romance since separating from estranged husband Cash Warren. The former couple, who were together for two decades and married for 16 years, announced their split and filed for divorce early last year, finalizing it just last month according to TMZ.
Their divorce settlement includes Warren receiving a $3 million payout from their shared assets, which include a $10 million Beverly Hills mansion purchased in 2017. The payment will be made in two non-taxable installments of $1.5 million each, with no alimony exchanged between them.
Co-Parenting and New Relationships
Despite citing irreconcilable differences in their divorce filing, Alba and Warren have reportedly been co-parenting amicably. They share joint custody of their three children: daughters Honor, 17, Haven, 14, and eight-year-old son Hayes.
Since their separation, Warren has been romantically linked to younger models Hana Sun Doerr and Seanna Pereira. Meanwhile, Alba's relationship with Ramirez, who is 12 years her junior, follows recent speculation that she was dating NFL star Joe Burrow after a viral photo showed them together at a Las Vegas casino event.
From Film Set to Family Life
Alba and Warren first met on the set of the 2004 movie Fantastic Four, where she starred as one of the leads and he worked as assistant director. They held an impromptu courthouse wedding in Beverly Hills in May 2008, just one month before welcoming their first child.
In a 2023 podcast appearance, Warren confessed to briefly splitting from Alba early in their relationship due to jealousy over the attention she received from other men. He described how this jealousy transformed him temporarily before he learned to channel those feelings more productively.
Reflecting on marriage in 2021, Alba offered a candid perspective, noting that after the initial "rosy" period of about two and a half years, couples often settle into a roommate-like dynamic. This insight came several years before their eventual separation and divorce proceedings began.
