Ana de Armas is currently in a relationship with Paul Boukadakis.
Born on 30 April 1988 in Havana, Cuba, De Armas spent her childhood in the small city of Santa Cruz del Norte. Her maternal grandparents migrated to Cuba from Spain, while her father, Ramón, held a range of jobs, including bank manager, teacher, school principal, and deputy mayor of a town. He had previously studied philosophy at a Soviet university. Her mother worked in the human resources division of the Ministry of Education.
De Armas has an older brother, Javier, who is a New York-based photographer. In 2020, Cuban authorities questioned him because of his critical viewpoint on Decree 349 and his connections to artists under government surveillance. Despite growing up in Cuba's Special Period, which was marked by food rationing, fuel shortages, and power outages, de Armas has described her early years as happy.
In mid-2010, De Armas started a romantic relationship with Spanish actor Marc Clotet, and the couple tied the knot in Costa Brava in July 2011. Unfortunately, they divorced in early 2013. Following this, she was engaged to American talent agent Franklin Latt, whom she dated from early 2015 to late 2016. In late 2019, De Armas met American actor Ben Affleck while filming Deep Water, and they began dating in March 2020, when they were first spotted together in Cuba.
But the pair broke up in January 2021, ending the relationship. Since June 2021, the actress has been romantically linked to Paul Boukadakis, a Tinder executive. However, the couple has chosen to keep many aspects of their relationship private.
