Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas America’s Divided Over Their Romance

He has decided in his heart that she is the one destined for him

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been spotted on four dates between February and May, fueling romance rumors. Yet across the U.S., opinions are split:

“There’s no romance, it’s just work meetings,” reported U.S. site TMZ.

Meanwhile, U.S. site RadarOnline says,

“Cruise is infatuated with Ana and has decided in his heart that she is the one.”

Their first sighting was on Valentine’s Day in London, dining together in Soho.

On March 14, they were caught arriving by helicopter at a London heliport, later seen dining again in London.

On April 13, photos showed them arriving at Farnborough Airport in southeastern England, flying in from Madrid.

And on May 3, they attended David Beckham’s 50th birthday party in London, leaving together by car.

On May 3rd, they were spotted leaving together by car after attending the 50th birthday party of former England soccer star David Beckham in London, according to U.S. magazine People and others.

Given this, rumors of a romance spreading are hardly surprising, but TMZ, mentioned earlier, stated,

“They have not been seen holding hands or kissing, and their meetings may be strictly work-related.”

It points out, and People magazine also reports that between the two,

They reported statements from insiders saying, “Nothing romantic is happening between them.”

In fact, the two are set to co-star in Doug Liman’s upcoming film Deeper, who also directed Tom’s 2014 starring movie Edge of Tomorrow. It is said that their frequent meetings might be for discussions related to this project.

On the other hand, the US site RadarOnline reported, along with comments from insiders,

“Officially, the two seem to be discussing their co-starring in the movie, but no one around them believes that is all there is.”

It also reported,

“Tom is infatuated with Ana and has decided in his heart that she is the one.”

Tom, whose assets are said to be around $600 million (approximately 86 billion yen),

“is said to be spending freely for Ana and even considering marriage.”

Speaking of Tom, after three marriages and divorces, he dated Russian socialite Elcina Khairova but broke up in February 2024. Afterwards, rumors circulated about romances with Spanish-American singer Victoria Canal and others, but they fizzled out.

Tom even married Nicole Kidman, whom he co-starred with in a movie

On the other hand, Ana had been dating Ben Affleck, with whom she co-starred in Deep Water (’22), since 2020, but they broke up in 2021. Last November, reports surfaced that she was dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, son of Cuban President Díaz-Canel, but the relationship has not progressed since.

This is just a personal prediction as a Hollywood watcher, but since both are currently single, there is a strong possibility that a romance could develop between them.

After all, in Hollywood, it’s quite common for romances to start from co-starring in movies.

Going back, Marilyn Monroe and French singer-actor Yves Montand co-starred in Let’s Make Love (1960). Ultimately, Montand returned to his wife, actress Simone Signoret. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who co-starred in Cleopatra (1963), had a widely publicized romance of the century affair, divorcing their spouses to marry each other twice and divorce twice.

More recently, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began dating during filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (’05). Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, divorced, then married Jolie, and later divorced. Also, Tom Holland and Zendaya started dating after co-starring in the Spider-Man series; Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz began dating and later married after co-starring in Dream House (’11); Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds began dating and married after co-starring in Green Lantern (’11).

Tom himself began dating Nicole Kidman after co-starring in Days of Thunder (1990) and later married her. He also dated Penélope Cruz for a time after co-starring in Vanilla Sky (’01), though they never married.

Tom’s eighth Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, will be released simultaneously in Japan and the U.S. on May 23. Ana, who has been active with roles such as her Academy Award-nominated performance as Marilyn Monroe in the biopic Blonde (’22), will star as a ballerina-turned-assassin seeking revenge after her family is killed in Ballerina, which will open in the U.S. on June 6.

It is surely no “Mission: Impossible” for these two top stars to develop a romance through their first film collaboration—
