In a delightful twist, Cuban actress Danay Cruz captivated her fans by revealing her engagement in the City of Lights. The proposal, which took place beneath the glistening Eiffel Tower, was a blend of elegance and surprise.
The actress shared the exciting news on her Instagram account, where she recounted the enchanting evening she described as unforgettable.
As Danay explained, the evening began with what seemed to be a typical outing. Her partner, Maxime, suggested she dress up for his company's New Year's Eve celebration.
Although she suspected a proposal might happen during the winter season, she was caught off guard when it happened that night. Upon arrival, noticing no familiar faces, Maxime revealed that the evening was part of a grander plan.
The duo then headed to dine on the Don Juan, a Michelin-star restaurant cruise along the Seine River. Danay described it as "the only boat in the world with Michelin stars."
During the scenic dinner cruise, Danay's suspicions grew, but as the night went on, she thought it might just be a memorable night.
"He seemed too relaxed and handsome in his suit," she noted.
The pivotal moment arrived when Maxime invited her to the deck to witness the Eiffel Tower's illumination. With Paris providing a magical backdrop, the proposal unfolded.
"The rest is history... I found myself with a ring on my finger, in the arms of a man I love deeply, promising eternity," Danay expressed, confirming her immediate acceptance.
"I said yes! Thank you, future husband, for choosing me and for this unforgettable night," she concluded, sharing photos and videos of the event.
Originally from Báguanos, Holguín, Danay Cruz honed her craft at the Manuel Muñoz Cedeño Professional Art School in Bayamo.
Her career began in television comedies, gradually earning her a place in the Cuban entertainment scene.
In 2019, she appeared in the New Year's special "25 por Segundo," where her character Lola Mento Guasimita began to gain popularity.
Beyond comedy, Danay has taken on dramatic roles, such as Judith in the telenovela "Vuelve a mirar," portraying a young woman facing the dilemma of emigration, and Patricia in "El Derecho de Soñar."
However, it is Lola Mento that has carved out her niche on social media. In October, a viral sketch humorously depicted her morning routine in Cuba, using humor to tackle the daily challenges faced by Cubans.
In August, she humorously embraced being a content creator "influencer style," but with a Cuban twist.
The story featured her with cucumber slices on her eyes, a makeshift bathrobe from curtain scraps, and a beauty routine highlighting "yucaloronic acid."
Now, alongside her growing artistic career and ongoing projects, Danay Cruz adds a personal milestone to her achievements, drawing a wave of congratulations and well-wishes from her followers.
Her Parisian engagement not only marks a new romantic chapter but also serves as an inspiring tale celebrated by countless Cubans who admire her journey.
