Hollywood may have a new power duo in the making. Jessica Alba, 44, and “Top Gun: Maverick” actor Danny Ramirez, 32, are igniting romance rumors after being spotted traveling together from Cancun, Mexico.

In video footage obtained by TMZ, the two actors were seen boarding a flight side by side in the tropical destination before landing in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. While neither has publicly addressed their relationship status, the cozy sighting has the internet buzzing.

The possible new romance comes six months after Alba publicly announced her split from her husband of 16 years, Cash Warren. In a heartfelt Instagram statement released in January, the Honey actress 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 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.”

Alba emphasized that the separation was amicable, stating,

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

The former couple, who share three children, had long been seen as one of Hollywood’s more grounded and private families, rarely making headlines for anything outside their professional lives.

In the months following the announcement, Alba made waves at an Oscars after-party when she was seen sharing a jacket with comedian Alex Edelman. Social media lit up with speculation, but sources quickly shut down rumors of a romantic connection.

“They are not dating,” a source told E! News. “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.” Another insider clarified Edelman was simply “a friend of a friend” of Alba’s.

This latest sighting with Ramirez, however, has fans wondering if there’s something more than just friendship between the pair. Ramirez, known for his breakout roles in Top Gun: Maverick and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, has been relatively private about his personal life. Neither he nor Alba has posted anything indicating a relationship, but their joint travel plans have certainly set off alarms in the tabloid world.
