Jessica Alba’s connection to Taylor Swift traces back to a decade-old music video.

Alba played “Domino” in the 2015 “Bad Blood” clip, and that cameo just landed her a seat at the biggest wedding of the year.

Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez slipped out of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding on July 3 at Madison Square Garden, one couple in a crowd of roughly 1,000 guests.

The invite traces back to 2015, when Alba, now 45 but still looking 25, appeared as “Domino” in Swift’s “Bad Blood” video, the celebrity-stacked clip that also pulled in Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Hailee Steinfeld.

Alba has said she didn’t know Swift well before the shoot and only signed on because her kids were fans. She later brought them to the Eras Tour, where Swift greeted them herself and, in Alba’s telling, was “as sweet as can be.” Swift has returned the compliment, calling Alba “amazing” with a “tough vibe.”

Alba’s boyfriend, Danny Ramirez, 33, is a dozen years younger and one of the busiest rising names in Hollywood: Lieutenant “Fanboy” Garcia in Top Gun: Maverick, and now the new Falcon in Captain America: Brave New World, with Avengers: Doomsday next.

The couple first surfaced in July 2025, when photos caught them kissing on a flight back from a Cancún vacation. They’d been friends inside the same social circle before it turned, and the timing made it Alba’s first serious relationship after her split from Cash Warren, which she filed in February 2025 and finalized around March 2026.

They went full Instagram-official in November 2025 at the Baby2Baby Gala. By spring 2026 they were already being tagged one of Hollywood’s more solid “age-gap but thriving” pairings, with beach PDA days and NYC dinners keeping them in the feed.

Then came the World Cup moment. On June 25, 2026, Alba was at USA vs. Türkiye at SoFi Stadium with her three kids, Honor, Haven and Hayes, and posted a suite selfie captioned as their first World Cup match. The photo went off because people genuinely could not tell which one was the mom. Alba, 45, read as the oldest sister.
