Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel took to social media on Sunday to share the joyous news of his granddaughters Alma and Alis being born, marking this personal event as a beacon of light amid the nation's challenging circumstances. "In the midst of such difficult days for the country, nothing brings me more personal relief than the arrival of new family members," he expressed on the social platform X, notifying his followers of the happy occurrence.
"Our family line of grandchildren has grown. This November, we became the proud grandparents of Alma and Alis," he continued. Interestingly, Diaz-Canel initially posted and then quickly retracted a message before reposting the same content with photos. One particularly noteworthy image features Díaz-Canel and Lis Cuesta, but the background is intentionally blurred, concealing any details that might reveal the precise location or the conditions of the hospital where the births took place.
A Stir in the Spotlight
Recently, headlines around the globe have focused on the Cuban leader's stepson, who made waves by confirming his romantic involvement with Cuban actress Ana de Armas. Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta, son of Lis Cuesta, graced the cover of the latest issue of the Spanish celebrity magazine ¡HOLA!, which published photos of the couple strolling through the streets of Madrid.
The magazine captioned the photos with, "Ana de Armas, discover her new infatuation. Miguel Anido, stepson of the President of Cuba." This relationship has sparked outrage, particularly among the Cuban exile community in Miami, due to the fact that Ana's new partner serves as an advisor to a dictator who keeps the Cuban people deprived of electricity, water, and the right to protest.
