Marisa Ramirez is showing up for her fellow Blue Bloods and Boston Blue star, Donnie Wahlberg.
The on-screen partners have now reunited off screen after Ramirez, 48, stepped out on Saturday, Feb. 14 for a New Kids on the Block Las Vegas residency gig at the Dolby Live at Park MGM.
The actress, who recently returned to her role as Detective Maria Baez for Boston Blue, posted a string of snaps to Instagram featuring herself and Wahlberg over the weekend — as well as a video of the two pals sharing a hug as he walked off stage.
"The best way to spend Valentine’s Day! Mom’s night out was just perfect," Ramirez wrote of her NKOTB outing with friends. "Warmed my heart to meet so many amazing blockheads. Thank you all for being so sweet."

Wahlberg, who has been a member of NKOTB since the group's 1984 formation, also appeared to hang out with his co-star at an afterparty, per photos shared by fans to social media. "We'll see her on season 2 of Boston Blue," Wahlberg teased during the event.
"See you next week! #Daez," Wahlberg also commented on Ramirez's post, teasing the duo's on-screen romance and Ramirez's future on Boston Blue.
The pair have a long history on TV. While Blue Bloods ended after 14 seasons in December 2024 without clarifying if Danny and Baez sparked a romance after the season finale, Boston Blue has largely picked up where things left off for the former NYPD partners.
The characters reunited in the spin-off's premiere in October, before later episodes found them navigating their long-distance relationship after Danny made his way to Boston. Boston Blue's showrunners later told TVLine that fans should get used to seeing Maria in the series, as she'll be featured "multiple times in the first season."
As for the real-life Wahlberg, he's continuing his balance of being both Danny Reagan and a member of NKOTB. The group announced back in November that it was extending its "The Right Stuff" residency into late 2026. Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight will hit the stage next on Wednesday, Feb. 18 , followed by five more dates in February, five in June, three in July and eight in October.
Wahlberg will be back on Boston Blue later this month as well, with Blue Bloods alum Len Cariou also joining the crew for its midseason return.
Boston Blue returns to CBS on Feb. 27 at 10 p.m. ET and arrives the next day on Paramount+.
