Jessica Alba’s new romance may surprise fans

Jessica Alba, after her marriage ended earlier this year, may have been enjoying her single life, but her recent romantic developments have taken an unexpected turn.

The actress was seen having dinner with her new boyfriend Danny Ramirez at the Italian eatery Alba in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, according to recent images that Daily Mail exclusively obtained.

While her 32-year-old boyfriend drove the car out of the area with his eyes fixed on the road, Jessica, 44, sat in the passenger seat.

As they left together, neither of them was able to contain their smiles.

Although the actress's relationship was reportedly casual at first, these new pictures suggest it could soon grow into something meaningful.

The star isn't eager to rush things, but the relationship does seem to be moving in that direction.
