Many may be wondering, where on earth is Ana De Armas? Her meteoric rise first began with the critically acclaimed murder-mystery Knives Out in 2019. She then had a highly publicised relationship with Ben Affleck which seemed to mostly consist of strolls around his LA neighbourhood and him being just so unbelievably slap-the-kneee hilarious, if paparazzi shots are anything to go by.
Following her split from Affleck, the 36-year-old actress began dating Tinder’s Vice President, Paul Boukadakis, but the pair have since broken things off too. Armas landed an Oscar nomination in 2022 for the divisive Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde, and has since been averaging about one movie per year, although rarely gives interviews.
What has Armas been doing in her spare time? Coupling up with a new beau, it seems. She was recently spotted in Madrid kissing Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Who is Manuel Anido Cuesta?
Manuel Anido Cuesta is a lawyer who often accompanies his stepfather, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, on official trips. The son of Lis Cuesta, the second wife of Díaz-Canel, he graduated from the University of Havana in 2019 with a law degree.
Miguel Díaz-Canel who has served as president of Cuba since 2018 and secretary-general of the Communist Party (PCC) since 2021. He's the first person to hold both the Cuban presidency and the leadership of the nation's Communist Party without bearing the Castro surname. He was, however, handpicked by former leader Raúl Castro as his successor. Cuba has an authoritarian government where political opposition is not permitted.
Is Manuel Anido Cuesta a politician?
Despite not holding official positions in the Cuban government, Manuel is reportedly a member of his stepfather’s inner circle of power.
How long has Manuel Anido Cuesta been dating Ana De Armas?
It’s unclear exactly how long the former Hollywood-based actress has been dating the lawyer, but they were spotted just last week on a dinner date in Madrid. Ana revealed last year that she was leaving LA in search of a quieter life ‘off the grid.’ She said, ‘We all want to have the chance to build your own safe space. I’ve made that decision myself… You just feel it when it’s time to change.’ The actress now reportedly lives in a six-bedroom Vermont mansion.
