Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck: separation by phone

Ana picked up the phone and ended the relationship, insiders told the US magazine “People”. She is supposed to still love Ben, but she doesn't see a future together with him. A number of factors should be the reason for separation, from future and child planning to freedom thinking. The young actress ("Knives Out") is ambitious and wants to have a great career in Hollywood. She also wants more freedom. She currently has a number of attractive film offers, loves to travel and wants to keep all options open.

End of a Hollywood romance

Ana and Ben met and fell in love on the set of “Deep Water” in the US state of Louisiana in 2019. They spent much of the corona lockdown together in Los Angeles. Ana only moved into Ben's luxury estate in LA's posh Pacific Palisades at the end of 2020, vacated her own home in Venice and put it up for sale. But the two have not been seen together since the holidays.

Ana de Armas: New haircut as a symbol of change

The 32-year-old has spent the last few weeks in her home town of Cuba – and fundamentally changed her appearance right away. When she appears in a video message on January 17th, she shows her new hairstyle, a chin-length bob and short bangs, the hair is almost dyed black. Looks like she's celebrating her newfound freedom with a new hairstyle. Ana de Armas wrote on her Twitter account that the new haircut should symbolize "change for 2021". A source told the US newspaper “New York Post” that Ben wanted to spend more time with his children. With ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 48, he shares daughters Violet Affleck, 14, Seraphina Affleck, 11, and son Samuel Affleck, eight.
