In a heartwarming gesture, Alex, the fiancé of Flor de Cuba, astonished his parents living in Cuba with an unexpected gift—a brand-new car.

Through a video shared on social media, the touching moment captured the emotional reaction of his parents as they received the vehicle while speaking to their son via video call. The clip quickly resonated with followers, garnering hundreds of supportive messages and congratulations.

“Nothing in this life can repay everything they did for me, but today I achieved one of my dreams: gifting a car to my parents in Cuba. This moment emerged from countless sacrifices. It's not about luxury; it's about gratitude. I love you,” Alex wrote alongside the video, expressing his deep affection and appreciation for his parents.

As expected, both sides were filled with surprise and tears of joy, even though the moment was shared through a video call and the embrace had to wait.

The gift represents more than just the couple’s efforts from abroad; it echoes the longing of many Cubans to give back to their families on the island, despite the challenging economic conditions the country faces.

Recently, Flor de Cuba herself surprised her mother in Cuba, first with a car and later with a house as gifts.
