Jasmine Cephas Jones is a captivating performer who has made her mark on both the stage and the screen. She’s earned widespread recognition and acclaim for her breakout role in the original cast of the musical “Hamilton.” While she came from a well-known entertainment family (shout out to the creative Cephas Jones clan), her fame isn’t just thanks to nepotism. She’s worked hard for her spot in the limelight, even in potentially uncomfortable situations. Earlier this week, the 35-year-old attended the 2025 Tony Awards in what her fans are calling her revenge dress, given that the star was destined to see her ex at the event.
Cephas Jones looked unfazed during the major industry event, further proving her point that, “letting go has been a huge lesson for me,” as she told People after her very public breakup. Considering her rise to fame in recent years, it’s no surprise that fans are just as intrigued by the multi-talent’s adventures off-screen as they are by her professional career. While she’s known for a relatively private life out of the spotlight, her relationship history and exes have graced many headlines over the years. This has left fans wondering who Jasmine Cephas Jones’ boyfriend is now. Here’s what we know about her dating history so far!
What We Know About Jasmine Cephas Jones and Anthony Ramos’ Relationship
Beyond the stage and screen, Jasmine Cephas Jones has been romantically linked to another major celebrity, Anthony Ramos. As theater lovers know, the two met while working in the show “Hamilton.” Cephas Jones played Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds, while Ramos took on the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton. According to TV Insider, they quickly became an iconic couple after they began dating in February 2015.
Because both were a part of the original Broadway production, their personal and professional lives were pretty intertwined. For years, they were seen side by side at public events and on each other’s social media pages. During Christmas Eve in 2018, the two took a trip to England. This ultimately cemented their romantic connection in front of close family. Ramos proposed with a carefully orchestrated surprise that Cephas Jones commemorated on Instagram at the time. “It brought tears to my eyes […] And what a moment it was!! All because of you. I will NEVER forget this magical trip for as long as I live,” she gushed at the time, per Us Magazine. Despite the obvious sparks between them, the couple broke off their engagement and called it quits around November 2021.
Why Did Anthony and Jasmine Break Up?
From the outside looking in, Ramos and Cephas Jones were the perfect power couple. So why would they randomly break up when it seemed their life together was only just starting? Well, there has been some speculation about infidelity on Ramos’ part, as Swooon reports. In 2021, fans assumed he had cheated on his fiancée due to photos of him with another woman at a strip club surfacing.
But neither of the Broadway stars has confirmed that cheating played a part in their split, which means they might have been single by the time the photos were captured. According to TV Insider, Ramos even seemingly acknowledged the cheating rumors in 2023 with a music release.
On his song “Villano” he says, “They caught me wildin’ in the club, yeah I did that Shawty said she wanna f**k, yeah I’m wit that. We were single, we were drunk, so I hit that. Next day, the tabloids with the spin back.” So, although Ramos acknowledges he moved on pretty quickly, foul play has not been confirmed. The two were together for close to six years, and the end of their relationship remains a mystery.
Does the ‘Hamilton’ Actress Have a New Boyfriend?
Since her relationship with Ramos, Jasmine Cephas Jones has been quiet regarding her dating life. There has been no confirmed news about her relationship status, so it is safe to assume the actress is still single. Presumably, they have moved on from each other over the years since they have not made contact publicly since their breakup.
