The Cuban actress stars in Len Wiseman’s new neo-noir action thriller: ‘From the World of John Wick: Ballerina’
The personal life of Ana de Armas: Family life and high-profile relationships
It’s a far cry from the time that the teenage actress began to make her mark on national television with ‘El internado’. Ana de Armas is now an established superstar in Hollywood. She is currently starring as Eve Macarro, a ballerina who gets herself entangled in the criminal underworld in Len Wiseman’s new neo-noir action thriller, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina which is released today, June 6, 2025.
What family does Ana de Armas have?
Much has been written about Ana’s career, with roles in successful films such as ‘Knock Knock’, ‘War Dogs’, ‘Blade Runner 2049′ or ‘Daggers in the Back’, the latter giving her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. However, the more personal side of her life tends to be a much more guarded topic.
De Armas left everything in Cuba, where she had already been studying acting for years, to come to Spain, taking advantage of the fact that her grandparents were Spanish. On the other side of the Atlantic she left her parents behind. Ramon, her father, has worked throughout his life as a teacher, bank manager, school principal and was even deputy mayor, while her mother, also named Ana, was employed for years by the Cuban Ministry of Education in Human Resources.
The actress has hardly been photographed with her parents, but it is known that she visits them when her busy schedule allows, and that she has never forgotten the country where she was born.

She even bought a new house there a few years back.
Ana also has a brother, although he prefers to use his mother’s surname and goes by the name of Javier Caso. The bond that unites them is very strong and they are very close, with Javier having been living in New York for years. There he is a prestigious photographer and has seen his work and his stature grow steadily, often working on close-ups of his beloved sister. Caso combines his work with political activism with which he denounces, especially on Facebook, the situation in Cuba while demanding freedom and an end to violence.
High-profile relationships
Her current dating status is not clear. She has been spotted with Tom Cruise recently and has been seen with Manuel Anido Cuesta in Spain. The relationship with Anido Cuesta has ruffled some feathers in the Cuban expat community because he is the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.
She was also in a romantic relationship with Paul Boukadakis, with whom she began dating back in 2021. The American businessman has an estimated fortune of $13 million thanks to the multiple companies he has developed throughout his career.
Boukadakis was a business and music video manager for ten years, and that helped him create Ferris, a video sharing app that was later acquired by Tinder in 2017 for $4 million. The owner of arguably the most famous dating app, Briand Norgand, then saw Paul’s talent and signed him up as vice president in charge of Special Actions, a position he accepted and still holds today.
Previously, Ana de Armas had a relationship with Ben Affleck that hit headlines around the world but reportedly ended because the two had different visions on important issues going forward. Much earlier, at the beginning of the last decade, De Armas was married to Spanish actor Marc Clotet, but they divorced in 2013. Later the actress would be with screenwriter and director David Victori, talent agent Franklin Latt and painter Alejandro Piñeiro.
