The images were published in July 2009, when the Cuban actress was 21 years old and was known in Spain for her role in the series El internado.

During a vacation in Ibiza with her friend and colleague Elena Furiase, Ana was photographed playing in the sea with a considerably older man.

In several images, he appears with his arms around her waist, while in others he lifts her in his arms and they both smile.

The Spanish press at the time described him as an alleged publicist known on the island, although his identity and the nature of their relationship were never confirmed.

The photographs have been circulating again on social media, where some users are speculating about who that companion was.

Curiosity grows when we remember that, years later, Ana was romantically linked to Tom Cruise, who was 26 years older than her, although neither of them ever publicly confirmed a romance.

The truth is that the photographs document a youthful vacation, but they do not establish that there was a romantic relationship between the people in them.
