The magazine ¡HOLA! published new images this Wednesday, November 27, confirming the relationship between Cuban actress Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta, stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
The photos show the couple enjoying a shopping day in Madrid, in a setting that has sparked controversy due to the contrast between the luxury of their lifestyle and the economic crisis in Cuba.
In the photographs, Ana de Armas showcases a sophisticated and luxurious outfit that features a reversible hooded cape from Louis Vuitton, valued at 4,300 euros, paired with a bag from the same brand, jeans, beige heeled ankle boots, and sunglasses.
The bag, for its part, is a fanny pack model similar to the High Rise, which is priced at €1,700. The actress, who is an ambassador for the French brand, left no doubt about her style and taste for exclusive pieces.
As for Manuel Anido Cuesta, he was spotted with the actress carrying several shopping bags from El Corte Inglés, the iconic Spanish department store chain.
A scene that highlights a stark contrast between the high standard of living enjoyed by Díaz-Canel's advisor and son of Lis Cuesta alongside his girlfriend in Spain, while he supports the repressive dictatorship under which the island lives.
The connection between Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido has not gone unnoticed by the public. While the actress is known for her talent and international prominence, her relationship with a representative of the Cuban regime has sparked criticism due to the incongruity between the luxury of her surroundings and the economic situation of the island.
The published images, which capture moments of the couple walking and enjoying activities in the Spanish capital, reinforce the rumors that Ana de Armas may be considering spending more time in Madrid, a city where she lived before her success in Hollywood.
This news has sparked media interest, not only due to the romance but also because of the political and social implications of the relationship, given the context surrounding the stepson of the Cuban leader.
