Insiders working on the film, which comes from Fatal Attraction director Adrian Lyne, told People that the pair had incredible chemistry from the very beginning of the shoot but that there were no signs that anything was going on between them.

However, just a few months after production for the film came to an end, the pair were spotted enjoying a trip to Ana's native Cuba together, followed by a romantic getaway to Costa Rica. Following their headline-making outings, a source close to the couple confirmed to US Weekly in March 2020 that they were officially a couple.
Following that, Ben and Ana were regularly papped by photographers holding hands and walking their dogs near Ben's Los Angeles home.
