Natalia Revuelta Clews (December 6, 1925 – February 27, 2015) was a Cuban socialite, mistress of Fidel Castro, and mother of his daughter Alina Fernández. Both Revuelta and Castro were married to other people.

Early life

[edit]

She was active in the Cuban opposition movement following Fulgencio Batista's coup in 1952 and, after being introduced to him, donated money and actively aided Castro and his movement.[1][2][3]

Following the birth of her daughter in 1956 and Castro's return from exile in Mexico, Revuelta supported the Cuban revolution but did not continue a relationship with him.[1]
