Ana de Armas, the Cuban actress known for her incredible portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde and her high-profile relationship with Ben Affleck, has made a big change in her life. Recently, she decided to leave behind the fast-paced world of Los Angeles and settle down in Vermont, moving into a stunning six-million-dollar mansion in the countryside.
Ana first moved to New York after selling her home in Venice, California. While she initially adapted to life in the bustling city, she soon realized that she wanted a quieter, more peaceful place to call home. This desire for a calmer environment led her to Vermont, where she could escape the chaos of big cities.
During the premiere of her latest film Eden, Ana shared her thoughts with E! News, explaining, “We all want to get away from the madness of the world and connect with nature.” Her new home in Vermont offers her the chance to do just that, providing her with a “safe space” where she can relax and enjoy privacy.
Why Vermont?
Ana’s decision to move to Vermont wasn’t just about peace and quiet; it was also about creating a space where she could live life on her own terms. The mansion, surrounded by forest, gives her the opportunity to “bring there only the person I want to be with.” It’s also close to her brother, Javier Caso, who lives in New York—just a five-hour drive away.
While Ana is still in the prime of her acting career, she felt that Los Angeles, with all its pressures and lack of privacy, was no longer the right place for her. She had once revealed that her experiences in LA confirmed her feelings that it wasn’t the place where she could truly be herself.
Even though Ana de Armas has chosen a quieter life in Vermont, her movie career is far from slowing down. She is set to star in the upcoming John Wick spin-off, Ballerina, a film she has described as “sexy” and “dangerous.” Set to be released on June 6, 2025, the movie follows Ana’s character, Rooney, a ballerina-turned-assassin seeking revenge for the murder of her family. Fans of the John Wick series have a lot to look forward to, especially since Keanu Reeves and other familiar faces from the franchise will also be returning.
Ana admits that reshoots for the film were necessary, but she’s confident the result will be worth the wait. “It’s going to be amazing,” she said, adding that the movie will live up to the expectations of John Wick fans.
