The images, published by ¡Hola! magazine, show the actress and the lawyer in moments of apparent closeness, generating rumors about a possible romance.
According to the magazine, the couple was seen having dinner at the Italian restaurant Numa Pompilio, located in the exclusive Salamanca neighborhood. The evening, attended by friends of both, ended with the two returning home together, according to the report, “warmed, complicit and very smiling.” Later, De Armas and Anido Cuesta went for a walk with ‘Salsa’, the actress’s dog, at which time they were captured sharing a kiss.
The photographs have ignited social networks, where not only the details of the possible romance were discussed, but also the political context behind the relationship. Users have pointed out the connection between the actress and an advisor close to the Cuban president.
Although the images were made public recently, the first speculation about a relationship between Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta began in May. So far, neither of them have issued statements to confirm or deny the rumors.
Manuel Anido Cuesta is a lawyer and works as an advisor to his stepfather, Miguel Díaz-Canel. He belongs to the Cuban president’s circle of trust and has accompanied him to official events, including a visit to the Vatican in which they met with Pope Francis.
For her part, Ana de Armas, who rose to fame with films like ‘Blade Runner 2049’ and ‘Between knives and secrets’, has had a love life widely followed by the press. After a marriage to the Spanish actor Marc Clotet and a relationship with Ben Affleck, the actress seemed to have consolidated her love life with Paul Boukadakis, a Tinder executive, with whom she was seen on several occasions. However, recent images in Madrid would suggest that that relationship had come to an end.
The alleged romance has not gone unnoticed on social networks, where opinions were divided. While some celebrated the relationship, others questioned Anido Cuesta’s political context. An X user commented: “Ana de Armas giving each other (kisses) in Madrid. Not in Cuba or Venezuela. My daughter, just as she suddenly forgets Spanish and speaks fluent English, has forgotten the history of her island. “Tremendous.”
So far, neither the actress nor the lawyer have made official statements about their relationship, leaving the issue open to interpretation and public debate. Meanwhile, the images continue to circulate and fuel interest in this relationship.
