Who is Ramón Rodríguez?
Ramón Rodríguez is a 43-year-old actor hailing from Río Piedras, Puerto Rico. However, he spent the majority of his childhood on the Lower East Side in Manhattan, New York, despite being born in Puerto Rico’s capital of San Juan.
Growing up, Ramón excelled at basketball, playing for the Leelanau School in Glen Arbor, Michigan, in high school and at Wheeling University in West Virginia in college.
After earning a degree in sports marketing at New York University, he moved to Los Angeles to kickstart his acting career.

Is Ramón Rodríguez married?
The Will Trent star has managed to maintain an incredibly private romantic life since entering the spotlight in 2005. In 2011, rumors circled that Ramón was romantically involved with actress and model Minka Kelly.
The two appeared in the 2011 drama series Charlie’s Angels together. Minka starred as former street racer Eve and Ramón as former hacker John Bosley.
“We have seen Minka and Ramón talking in his trailer way after hours, and often late into the night,” a source on the set told PEOPLE in 2011. “They have been together long after they need to be for the show.”

However, like the series — ABC canceled the show due to low ratings — the romantic rumors were short-lived.
“They’re just friends,” another source explained to PEOPLE. “Ramón is basically the only guy on set so, of course, they all hang out with him.”
Since then, no other romantic contenders appear to be in Ramón’s life. Either Will Trent’s leading man is happily single or impressively skilled at hiding his relationships!
