Get ready Marvel fans, we have a new hero. First introduced as “Maya Lopez” on the series Hawkeye, the character later had her own show called Echo. And not only was this superhero new to the Marvel universe, but his actress, Alaqua Cox, was also a new face in the world of entertainment.
So who is Alaqua? She has a boyfriend? What is her relationship with Charlie Cox? Find out the answers to all these questions at the end of this article.
Does Alaqua Cox have a boyfriend?
Yes, Alaqua Cox had a boyfriend who was often the star of her IG. The two began dating at least in mid-2017, but we have no idea what happened to them.
We last saw the couple in March 2020 when they were traveling the world. “I know traveling is fun and everything except coronavirus can wait because these cheap flights won’t,” Alaqua wrote at the time.
Additionally, Alaqua had a special IG highlight during his time in Hawaii and Europe. It seems that the couple shared a passion for travel: young and carefree.
Speaking of her boyfriend, Alaqua shared that he made her “blush, laugh, and smile more at the stupidest things,” even years into their relationship.
In addition to traveling, Alaqua loved meeting new people and learning their language and culture. She felt that it was extremely important that everyone learn about cultural differences and come together as one.
Alaqua’s passion for traveling stems from her mother, who traveled the world while in college.
Is Alaqua Cox related to Charlie Cox?
No, Alaqua Cox and Charlie Cox are not related.
If you don’t know, Charlie is the actor who played “Matt Murdock / Daredevil” in the Marvel series Daredevil (2015-2018). But just because they have the same last name and play superheroes in the Marvel universe doesn’t mean they’re related.
Also, Alaqua was born in Wisconsin and is American, while Charlie is from London, making him English.
Who is Alaqua Cox’s brother?
Jordan, the brother of Alaqua Cox, has yet to make a name for himself. He just turned 16 on October 21, 2021. Also, we have no information on whether he will follow in his sister’s footsteps or not.
In addition to Jordan, Alaqua has another sister named Leah Kati. She turned 17 on March 7, 2021.
As for his parents, Alaqua was born to father Bill Cox and mother Elena Heath. Unfortunately, Bill had a serious health complication in 2021. Last time we checked on him, he was still on the mend.
Additionally, Alaqua has a grandmother named Leah J. Miller.
Trivia: Alaqua lost her precious dog named Minnie in October 2021. She had to leave her 5.5 year old “dog” behind because she “didn’t want her to suffer”.

Mentioning the features of his district, Alaqua has an oval face, amazing dark hair, and brown eyes.
Alaqua Cox Net Worth
Alaqua Cox achieved a net worth of less than $250K for 2021.
Well, if you think that’s too much for someone who played a Marvel superhero, then you’re right. But keep in mind that this data is from the end of 2021 when Alaqua just appeared in episode 6 of the Hawkeye series. Also, the first starring role of him in the Echo series had not yet been released at that time.
Talking about her character “Maya Lopez”, she is the daughter of one of the Kingpin’s enforcers who died during one of his missions. Maya was then adopted by the Kingpin himself and raised as his own. But here’s the twist, Maya’s father was killed by the Kingpin. Later, when she learned the truth, she shot the Kingpin in the face, temporarily blinding him.
It might surprise you to learn, but acting was never on Alaqua’s radar. He worked at the Amazon center and discovered what he wanted in life. “She had no acting experience. I only did one school play in high school, but she was a background actress,” Alaqua shared of her inexperience in the industry.
Then one day, some of her friends insisted that Alaqua audition for Marvel’s upcoming Hawkeye series, and she passed.
