Tom Cruise has never kept things low-key, especially on-screen. But lately, the 62-year-old action legend has been making headlines for reasons that have nothing to do with death-defying stunts. He's been repeatedly spotted with Cuban-born actress Ana de Armas, 36 — and the internet is swirling with speculation. Is this Hollywood's next big romance or just business as usual?
From shared helicopter rides to cozy dinners on Valentine's Day, the pair's sightings are becoming too frequent to ignore. So, what's really going on between Cruise and de Armas? Let's break it down.
Setting the Stage: Helicopters, Dogs, and Soho Dinners
In the span of just a few months, Cruise and de Armas have been seen together on multiple occasions, starting with a February dinner in London's trendy Soho district.
The dinner, rumored by some outlets to have taken place on Valentine's Day, involved fans snapping photos and the duo happily engaging with onlookers.
Then came March, when the duo arrived via helicopter at the London Heliport — not once, but twice. The most recent sighting involved Cruise and de Armas returning from Madrid. Cruise played the part of a dashing co-pilot, carrying luggage while de Armas juggled her dogs, Elvis and Salsa.
And perhaps most tellingly, Cruise and de Armas were seen kissing in Madrid.
They weren't alone during these outings, though. Reports claim agents were present at dinners and meetings, suggesting a professional element to their time together. Still, the optics have raised more than a few eyebrows.
Rumors vs. Reality: Love or Business?
Depending on which source you trust, this relationship is either strictly platonic or a blossoming romance complete with designer gifts and whispered sweet nothings.
Some sources claim Cruise and de Armas are simply discussing potential film collaborations.
But others paint a very different picture — one involving private jets and lavish presents. Speaking to Radar Online, an insider said Cruise views Ana as the "perfect Scientology wife with no skeletons in her cupboard," The News International reports.
Although Cruise is a high-ranking Scientologist, there's no evidence Ana has joined or expressed interest in Scientology herself.
The Age Gap and Past Loves
Cruise and de Armas share a 26-year age gap — not unheard of in Hollywood but certainly enough to raise eyebrows. Both have storied romantic histories: Cruise has been married three times — most notably to Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman — while de Armas has dated A-listers like Ben Affleck and was most recently linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president.
What Is Cruise up to Lately?
On the career front, Cruise is still risking life and limb for audiences. His upcoming film, "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning," debuts in May. The actor recently revealed that he passed out while filming due to oxygen deprivation during an aerial stunt — just another day at the office for the man who once clung to the outside of a plane mid-flight.
He's also kept up his relationship with agent Maha Dakhil, raising some eyebrows of its own after multiple dinners last December. But all signs — and selfies — seem to point to Ana as the woman most frequently by his side this spring.
Are They or Aren't They?
Cruise and de Armas have yet to officially comment. Reps for both stars have stayed silent, offering neither confirmation nor denial. But whether it's the start of a new romance or just a friendship wrapped in a whirlwind of A-list perks and red-carpet proximity, one thing is certain — the chemistry between these two is undeniable.
