Before Danny Ramirez: A look at Jessica Alba's past relationship

Jessica Alba's first public relationship was with Michael Weatherly, a television actor and producer whom she met on Dark Angel in 2000. At the time, Jessica was only 18, and Weatherly was 30 years old. They were engaged in 2001, but decided to part ways three years into the relationship.

During a 2005 interview with Cosmopolitan, she shared:

"It just didn't work out... I was so young, 18, when I started dating him. I was a virgin. I knew I wanted to be in love with the first person I slept with, because for almost everyone I knew, the first experience made them feel like sh*t. So I wanted to be really careful that he was going to be in love with me and wasn't just going to leave me."

After breaking up with Michael Weatherly, rumors were swirling around that Jessica Alba was dating Mark Wahlberg. However, neither party confirmed if they were dating or not. But they have been seen and photographed together during the time period the rumors were making waves.

The rumors did not last long since Jessica Alba was again rumored to be dating another man in 2004, however, this time, not an actor. Jessica was linked to former professional baseball player and former CEO of the Miami Marlins, Derek Jeter. While neither of them confirmed the rumors.

In 2005, the Sin City actress decided to sort of address the rumors linking her to Wahlberg and Jeter. She said that she did not "want to say". She added:

"I will say they're both really nice guys,... It's funny because my mom would [read about my dating someone and] go, 'I want to meet so-and-so.' Or she'd say, 'You're not dating him as far as I'm concerned because I haven't met him."

After the whirlwind of rumors, Jessica met Cash Warren on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004. They dated for a while and got married in 2008. Throughout their 17 years of marriage, they welcomed three kids: Honor, Haven, and Hayes.

In July 2024, Jessica had wonderful things to say about her marriage to Warren. She said:

"I think, ultimately, the friendship and support and just knowing that your partner has your back means everything to us... I think that would be the secret, is just having each other's back. It's hard work, but we roll up our sleeves and we do it. It’s wild. It's the longest relationship I could have ever imagined."

However, in January 2025, she announced that things did not work out between the two of them, and they would be separating. She took to Instagram to let her fans know. Alba wrote:

"I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years, and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals."

She concluded by asking for privacy from the public eye as they navigate the divorce process, while keeping their children at the top of their list. Jessica Alba completed her announcement by saying:

We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time."

True to her words, a source confirmed that they remain "good friends" and they "talk often".

Following her split from her long-time husband, there were rumors that she was seeing American stand-up comedian Alex Edelman. These rumors were debunked by a source who explained by saying:

"They are not dating. They met walking to their cars at the end of the night and he offered her his jacket because she was freezing before they went their separate ways."

In May, new romance rumors sparked when Jessica Alba was spotted with a mystery man. According to a source, they said:

"They looked very intimate. They were hugging and holding hands as they walked through the park together. They rented out some deck chairs and they were sitting on them kissing. It looked very much like a new relationship."

The insider source also gave Us Weekly more information about Jessica Alba's dating life. They said:

"[Jessica has] gone on dates, but she isn't seeing anyone specific right now. She's having a lot of fun going out with her girlfriends and being more spontaneous. She’s embracing all the attention she's getting."

An insider source also had something to say about Jessica Alba's newest man she was spotted with. Regarding Alba and Danny Ramirez, they explained how the two got to know each other:

"They were friends before it turned romantic. Jessica is still keeping things casual,... have a lot of mutual friends... They run in the same social circle, and that is how they were connected."
