Ana de Armas was captured kissing a man, but not just any man… The ‘Blonde’ star was spotted with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, while in Madrid last week.

The new couple looked loved up as they walked home from a dinner date before taking the actress’ dog ‘Salsa’ for a walk. While it’s unclear how the pair met, a Cuban influencer named Alexander Otaola claimed the two had been romantically involved since last May, according to the ‘Latin Times’.

The 52-year-old Affleck and the actress met in 2019 on the set of the psychological thriller “Deep Water”, where they played the couple. The couple’s romance became a hot topic during the pandemic, with paparazzi waiting to capture their every move. After her split from Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas started dating Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis in June 2021. She and the tech entrepreneur met through friends and quickly fell in love.

The actress was nominated for an Oscar for her work on the 2022 film based on the life of movie icon Marilyn Monroe, ‘Blonde’, directed by the acclaimed Andrew Dominique. The job was not easy, especially since the actress had to play such a recognizable American character while also having a strong Cuban accent. After working on it and getting deeper into the character, he managed to embody her, convincing the critics. Although the film received mixed reviews for its portrayal of Monroe’s life, her performance was applauded and it appeared that it would not be the first time she received such an honor (Michelle Yeoh received the award during the ceremony ).
