She exacty look lile northern Italian actress/model Christina Marino. https://hips.hearstapps.com/gioit.h-cdn.co/assets/18/07/1518719365-luca-argentero-fidanzata-cristina-marino.jpg
Cristina Marino was born Miano. But her father is sicilian and her mother is apulian.
Well, there’s some marginal resemblance between them.
she doesn’t look like a Taino at all. maybe a little bit african. undeniable she completely looks like mediterranean/southern spanish/andalucian. Olive skin, long face, greek nose, brown eyes, wavy hair etc…
She doesn’t look southern european at all. She is multiracial.

Big deal.
dude that is southern european or levantine look. You can find millions of people exactly like her in Sicily, Cyprus or Lebanon etc…
I see here as looking more North African/Middle Eastern. Regardless she’s probably tri-racial like most Caribbean Latin people are on some level.
@zachbickle
Trolling attempt? She is a woman of color and would be mistaken for a Latin American immigrant in such places.
Levantine people look nothing like her, she looks infinitely more European than any Levantine Arab, as far as southern European, yeah she does look like some Andalusian women or Sicilian women, it’s no big deal, many southerners from all Mediterranean countries are heavily mixed with north Africans.
Definitely not.
She is a woman of color and does not look Southern European in the slightest.
bruh you’re saying that as if some southerners in Mediterranean countries weren’t of colour, Sicilians are heavily mixed even more than her, some just look straight up Arabic and some Andalucians are the same, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but you’re in denial
She looks at least part Lebanese https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Lebanese%20woman&qs=n&form=QBIR&sp=-1&pq=lebanese%20woman&sc=8-14&cvid=A8D9D405BF9A425CBEEC42E9867DFD69&first=1&tsc=ImageBasicHover
I see part Lebanese or part Lebanese people who look as White or Whiter than her and or less exotic, Salam Hayek is a good example. Regardless Southern Europe and Arab looks can have plenty of overlaps in looks.
Yes, there is soo much overlap between Southern Europeans and Arabs that when you see these Muslim families shopping in malls they stand out a lot.
Along time ago I remember reading Eva saying her grandmother is a black woman. She shot to fame and that article mysteriously disappeared. Rewind to present day BLM protests going on, she admits on instagram post being proud of her afro-cuban roots. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtFF8mDUH4/
I knew I wasn’t crazy, I have good memory.
Please add Afro-Cuban to her ethnicity.
half way through that, I expected Ricky Ricardo to come out singing babalu
Has both Spanish and Native in her. But I see the Spanish side more.
Used to have a thing for her until she hooked up with Gosling…
