Devoted Blue Bloods fans can’t get enough of Danny and Baez’s relationship on Boston Blue. As much as they love the collective reaction to their highly anticipated on-screen romance, Donnie Wahlberg and Marisa Ramirez, who play the beloved partners-turned-lovers, like to remind fans that their connection extends beyond the show, too. Just this Valentine’s Day, Marisa made a point to spend the day of love with her real-life pal.
On Monday, February 16, Marisa revealed that she attended the New Kids on the Block: The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency 2026 kickoff show on Saturday, February 14. “The best way to spend Valentine’s Day,” she exclaimed in an Instagram caption of a clip of her and Donnie hugging at the show, along with a carousel of snaps. “Mom’s night out was just perfect! Warmed my heart to meet so many amazing blockheads. Thank you all for being so sweet.”
In the clip, fans are seen swooning over Marisa and Donnie’s embrace, with many filming the encounter, so it comes as no surprise that “Daez” fans flocked to Marisa’s post after the show. “Awe, Danny and Baez goals... love you supporting Donnie,” one Instagrammer commented. “The way I just squealed seeing this! Love that you were there! Always love for you two & your friendship,” someone else exclaimed. “Real friendship!!!! Looooove it,” another fan remarked. “Miss you and Blue Bloods, but love the guest appearances on Boston Blue,” someone else commented.
As touching as it was to see how excited Donnie was to see Marisa in the crowd, what has fans even more thrilled is his confirmation that Baez will be back on Boston Blue next week. “See you next week! #Daez,” Donnie commented on Marisa’s post.
Marisa has been a recurring guest star in Boston Blue since it premiered last fall, but she hasn’t been in every episode. The series returns after its midseason winter break on Friday, February 27, at 10 p.m. ET on CBS. In the meantime, episodes can be streamed on Paramount+.
