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…
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…
