Cuban actor Alejandro Cuervo experienced a touching reunion with his family upon returning to Havana this Tuesday. His controversial trip to the United States had sparked intense reactions on social media, especially among the Cuban exile community in Miami.
In a video shared on his Instagram account, Cuervo captures the heartfelt moment when he surprises his wife. She is brought to tears upon seeing him as she opens the car door where he was waiting. Shortly after, Cuervo enters his home to greet his children, creating a tender scene that has moved thousands of his followers.
"Are the tears from the joy of seeing me or from the bump with the door?" Cuervo joked in the post, referencing the accidental bump his wife experienced just before they embraced. "What I know for sure is that I can't live without you," he added, emphasizing that family is his utmost priority.
Social media was flooded with supportive and emotional messages about the reunion. "That's what truly matters more than anything," one user commented. Another expressed, "I tip my hat to you. You are an exemplary husband, father, and human being." Comments such as "the best reunion," "long live true love," and "even I cried" echoed among thousands of reactions.
During his stay in the United States, Cuervo faced criticism for not taking a clear political stance against the Cuban regime. Upon arriving at the José Martí International Airport, the actor expressed feeling "at home" and described his trip as "movie-like." When asked if he plans to return to the U.S. soon, he replied, "Only God knows."
In an appearance on the show Destino Tolk, Cuervo reiterated that his success stems from personal effort, denying any ties to the island's government. However, his statements did little to quell the criticism from exiles.
