The plot involving Jessica Alba’s love life thickens.

The 44-year-old actress has been linked for the last few months to “Top Gun: Maverick” actor Danny Ramirez.

On Monday, Alba was spotted by paparazzi at 1 Hotel in Miami Beach. In the Daily Mail pics, the “Honey” star is strolling in the sand holding her 7-year-old son Hayes’ hand.

Coincidence? Ramirez is originally from Miami, and apparently still has family here.

The 32-year-old wasn’t seen in any of the snaps, but we can’t help but wonder if he wasn’t far off.

Though born in Chicago, Ramirez was raised in the Magic City, attending Pitbull’s alma mater Coral Park Senior High School in the Westchester area. He is a big Hurricanes fan, telling UM’s website he went to his first game vs. Boston College at the old Orange Bowl when he was still in second grade, and painting a huge “U” on his chest.

And anyone curious for clues on Alba’s Instagram was out of luck. Though she did confirm (sort of) that she was in town, posting a picture of her on the beach drinking out of a coconut.

The simple, one-word caption: “Sunshine.”

Alba filed for divorce from movie producer Cash Warren in February. Besides Hayes they also share two teen daughters Honor, 17, and Haven, who turns 14 on Aug. 14.

Warren seems cool with his ex’s current situation.

“I’m happy for her,” Warren told TMZ last month. “I don’t know him, but he seems like a good guy.”

Attention, Danny: If you weren’t in town for this outing, the first Hurricanes game of the season is Aug. 31 at Hard Rock Stadium vs. Notre Dame. We fully expect you in attendance — and bring your boo, too.
