The big news on Wednesday was the revelation that Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido, son of Lis Cuesta, are in a relationship. This romance has triggered a flurry of reactions across social media, with countless Cubans worldwide eager to share their thoughts on this relationship, which reportedly has been ongoing for months. A Cuban woman, going by the username @yarys6 on TikTok, posted a video filled with irony and social criticism directed at Ana de Armas. "Today, we were all amazed to see our remittances strolling through Madrid, taking a dog for a walk," she remarked with blatant sarcasm. She further commented that in Hollywood, "people perform whatever rituals they please to stay beautiful, youthful, and famous. And Ana just goes straight to the devil."
The TikToker highlighted not only Anido's familial ties to Lis Cuesta but also his political affiliations. "It's not just that he's Lis Cuesta's son and Díaz-Canel's stepson; he's also Díaz-Canel's advisor," she pointed out. She also hinted at the alleged wealth Manuel Anido might possess. "The proof that he has substantial wealth is that Anita is with him because she wouldn't downgrade from the owner of Tinder to this guy if he didn't have significant assets. Assets that we all contribute to daily," she stated.
The video has amassed numerous comments. "I thought the same when I saw it. There go the combos, the remittances, and the Mipymes. Brazenly and right in front of us," one user commented. Others added, "This is a relationship for money laundering."
Ana de Armas, celebrated for her success in Hollywood, being linked romantically with figures associated with the Cuban regime, hasn't gone unnoticed. This connection is fueling controversy and provoking critical reactions.
