Ana de Armas’ dating life just took a dramatic twist worthy of its own soap opera. The Blonde bombshell, 36, was spotted locking lips with Manuel Anido Cuesta, who, wait for it, is none other than the stepson of Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel. Who needs Netflix when real life is this juicy?
The steamy smooch went down on November 20 in Madrid, where Ana was all cozied up in a chic white coat that screamed, “Yes, I’m thriving post-Affleck.” Meanwhile, Manuel showed up looking dashing in a long black coat, exuding that “political royalty meets European romance” vibe. Honestly, the whole scene felt like a Hallmark movie—but, you know, spicy.
Let’s rewind for a second: Before Manuel, Ana was linked to Paul Boukadakis, a Tinder exec. (Yes, that Tinder. The app that brought you right-swiping joy and left-swiping heartbreak.) Oh, and who could forget her pandemic-era romance with Ben Affleck? Those Dunkin’ coffee runs were legendary. However, it seems the paparazzi frenzy around her and Ben got a little too intense for Ana’s liking.
In an interview with Elle, Ana spilled the tea about why she peaced out of Los Angeles: “It became a little too much. There’s no escape. There’s no way out.” Translation: The Deep Water actress decided she’d rather dodge L.A.’s relentless cameras than dodge traffic on the 405.
Now she’s living her best life in Madrid, casually making out with the stepson of a president. Meanwhile, we’re over here just trying to figure out what to order for dinner. Cheers to Ana for keeping life dramatic, glamorous, and endlessly entertaining.
