Being Hollywood's newest "it" girl comes with a lot of responsibilities. Just ask Ana de Armas, the star of dramatic biopics like Blonde, where she played Marilyn Monroe, or action-rom-coms, such as Ghosted, where she starred opposite her Knives Out co-star Chris Evans.
Fans are dying to know the inside scoop on everything in Ana's life, including who she's dating.
Is Ana de Armas dating anyone right now? She has a long romantic history in Hollywood. Read on for everything you need to know about Ana's current paramour, explained.
Ana de Armas has an impressive dating history.
Previously, Ana has been linked to all sorts of Hollywood stars, including Ben Affleck (with whom she co-starred in Deep Water), Édgar Ramírez, and Cuban artist Alejandro Piñeiro Bello.
She was also linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis in 2021.
Page Six was the first to report their relationship, with a source noting they had been dating for "a few months." By September 2021, the duo was photographed kissing goodbye at JFK Airport in New York and again in Los Angeles.

Ana told Elle in July 2022 that the pair lived together in New York City and celebrated her 34th birthday together on the set of Ghosted.
She recounted, "I had everybody with me: my man, my dogs, Chris, and the crew. I wasn't home having a romantic dinner; I was on set with my people doing what I love and at the beach and having a shot of Fireball," she said. "So that was my 34th birthday. And it is the happiest I've been."
Sadly, the couple split in 2023.
So, who is Ana de Armas dating now?
According to HOLA, Ana is dating the stepson of the Cuban president, Manuel Anido Cuesta. In November 2024, they were spotted together in Madrid, in photos published by the Spanish outlet.
Manuel is the son of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel's wife Lis Cuesta from a previous relationship.
As expected, Ana's new boyfriend is controversial, given his proximity to the current dictatorship in Cuba.
"Everybody get the f--k up! Ana de Armas is dating the stepson of the tyrant that runs the dictatorship she ran away from? this bad this is bad this is very bad," one person tweeted before another added, "What surprises me is that OF ALL THE MEN IN THE WORLD... she is the girlfriend of THE STEPSON OF THE DICTATOR OF HER COUNTRY."
A third chimed in, "I don't judge my favs by the choice of boyfriends they have but ANA DE ARMAS, babe what are you doing????"
Seemingly in response to the backlash surrounding her new relationship, Ana has limited comments on her Instagram account.
