Out of Cuba! Alejandro Cuervo celebrates the first birthday of his son Aston following his public criticism of ETECSA

The actor Alejandro Cuervo is celebrating his son Aston's first birthday in Spain, while criticizing ETECSA for the increase in rates. Although it is not a definitive farewell to Cuba, his family is enjoying the trip.


The Cuban actor Alejandro Cuervo is in Spain with his family, after embarking on a journey this week to Madrid accompanied by his wife, the dentist Arletis Rodríguez, and their two children, Bastian and Aston. Although his departure has sparked speculation about a possible change of residence, Cuervo made it clear that this is not a definitive goodbye to Cuba.

“Familia Cuervo says goodbye to everyone, but not forever, of course; we’ll see each other soon,” wrote the popular soap opera heartthrob on his Instagram account in a message intended to reassure his followers about his eventual return to the Island.

The stay in Spain coincided with a very special occasion for the family: the celebration of little Aston's first birthday, the youngest son of the actor. The party took place in a shopping park and was filled with cake, games, and a lot of joy. In the shared images, a festive and family-friendly atmosphere is evident, with children, laughter, and a sparkling candle on the cake that marked the central moment of the celebration.

His farewell post sparked numerous reactions on social media, both for its emotional tone and for the critique he directed at the state-run Telecommunications Company of Cuba (ETECSA).

“We say goodbye to ETECSA wishing that they reflect while listening to all their users, including us”, wrote Cuervo. The actor expressed regret over the recent increase in mobile data rates, warning about the impact these measures have on Cuban families, especially on the elderly, who use technology to stay in touch with their loved ones.

In a video posted on his social media, he was seen with his wife and children inside the airplane, ready for takeoff, as well as in an image showing the Cuban passports and boarding tickets.

For now, the Cuervo family is enjoying a time abroad, while their followers remain attentive to their posts and celebrate special moments with them, such as Aston's birthday.
