Ana de Armas, the 37-year-old actress known for her roles in Knives Out and No Time to Die, is currently embracing single life. She has ended her relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban president Miguel DÃaz-Canel Bermúdez, according to a source who spoke to People magazine. The couple’s romance first emerged publicly in November 2024 when they were seen kissing in Madrid, but they parted ways shortly after, with no joint appearances following their last sighting in Spain a month later.
Clarifying Relationship Rumors with Tom Cruise
Recently, de Armas has been spotted several times alongside Tom Cruise, including outings on a yacht near Menorca, walks in London, and attending David Beckham’s 50th birthday party. Despite these public encounters, an insider insists that the two share a strictly professional relationship.
The dynamic between the two is not romantic,
the source said.
When they were first photographed together in February, another insider explained that their meeting was centered on discussing possible projects at a dinner with their agents, and
appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.
The actress is now fully dedicated to her craft, with a particular focus on her upcoming project, Deeper, marking her first on-screen collaboration with Cruise. A source shared that de Armas views this film as an opportunity of a lifetime.
Tom is crazy hardworking and she’s very excited to work with him,
the insider added. Furthermore,
Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.
Overview of Ana de Armas’s Past Relationships and Career Focus
Prior to her relationship with Anido Cuesta, de Armas was linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis and before that, she dated actor Ben Affleck from March 2020 to January 2021. Reports suggest their breakup was amicable.
As filming for Deeper approaches, de Armas continues to benefit from Tom Cruise’s professional support. Speaking about the broader industry, she told Variety,
It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina],
and added,
It is really special in general to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.
Despite her appreciation for industry support, de Armas has expressed discomfort with media focus that shifts away from her work. She said,
I have never been someone that wants any attention that’s not about my work,
and continued,
So, when the attention is not about my work, it is upsetting, and it feels disrespectful, and it feels inappropriate — and it feels dangerous and unsafe.
Requests for comments from representatives of both de Armas and Cruise were declined by People magazine.
