"Coño! My Cuban Papi made this Cuban Mami so happy with this!! Years of hanging out with my Dad paid off", she wrote.

She added: "Gracias to the super talented @marcellohdz for this skit. The way you say 'Eva Mendes'", she added a laugh emoji as she alluded to being namedropped as one of the cohort going to the club. 

"And @kenanthompson always crushing", she continued. "Can’t wait for this trio’s next reunion".

The sketch saw Ryan out with two friends at a bar, wearing a dark wavy wig and tinted sunglasses. The trio donned accents, as they ordered their drinks, with Ryan particularly getting into the character.

"Para mi, Mami? A Cuba Libré!" Ryan ordered, while his friends ordered a beer and a gin and tonic respectively.

When the waitress asked where they all came from, it became clear that Ryan was not Cuban - but his wife was.

"I'm Dominican," Kenan said, "and he's Cuban", he added, pointing at comedian Marcello Hernández who is of Cuban and Dominican descent - then the SNL regular pointed at Ryan. 

"And he is from Tennessee, but ever since he married a Cuban woman, he different", Kenan added.

Ryan seemed to affirm this in his role, adding: "A Cuban wife can change you! I'm telling you!" 

Fans seemed to adore the actor's 'Cubanisms', from the hand gestures to the accent.

"I am loving the Cuban representation on SNL lately", one fan wrote.

Another added: "Omggg!!! Look at your Hubby all Cubano!!!"

Eva has never been afraid to show how proud she is of her 'Cuban Papi', as she hyped him up for his performance of "I'm Just Ken" at the Oscars.
