Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez just made their romance feel a whole lot more official, with a courtside date at one of the most glamorous sporting events of the year. On Sunday, Sept. 7, the actress and entrepreneur, 44, and the Marvel star, 32, were spotted hand-in-hand at the U.S. Open men’s singles final in New York City. Their date doubled as a star-powered sports moment as the pair took in Carlos Alcaraz’s thrilling victory over Jannik Sinner.
Ramirez was all smiles as he wrapped his arm around Alba in the stands, the two sharing affectionate glances that didn’t go unnoticed by cameras. It was the couple’s most high-profile outing yet, after months of buzz surrounding their relationship.
From Rumors to Romance
Whispers of Alba and Ramirez’s relationship first sparked back in July, when it was reported that the two were “having a good time together” after being spotted boarding a flight from Cancún, Mexico, to Los Angeles. Just weeks later, paparazzi photos of the pair kissing in Los Angeles appeared in several outlets, including HOLA!, to confirm the romance.
“She was trying to keep it quiet, but after they were photographed returning from Cancún, she doesn’t feel the need to hide it anymore,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “She enjoys dating him. She’s pretty unapologetic about her life just in general and wants to enjoy as much as possible.”

The source added: “She loves her independence and new life. She’s very happy, full of energy and light. This is a great year for her personally.”

The U.S. Open weekend turned into a mini celebration for Alba, who also attended the women’s singles final the day before. The actress, who is mom to three kids, shared a sweet moment with her father, Mark, at the match between Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova. Posting a selfie on Instagram, Alba wrote that cheering courtside with her dad was “the best early birthday celebration” for him.
Both Alba and Ramirez have their careers bubbling at the same time. Ramirez, who fans will recognize from “Top Gun: Maverick” and HBO’s “The Last of Us,” is firmly establishing himself as a leading man in Hollywood. His Marvel role as Joaquin Torres, set to take on the “Falcon” mantle alongside Anthony Mackie’s “Captain America,” puts him at the center of the MCU’s next phase, with a confirmed appearance in “Avengers: Doomsday” in 2026. He also recently premiered “Dead Man’s Wire” at the Venice Film Festival, a film produced by his own company, Pinstripes.

Fresh off 2024’s “Trigger Warning,” she’ll next star in “Maserati: The Brothers.” Off-screen, she’s been vocal about embracing this new season of her life, which seems to be reflected in her glowing courtside appearance.
