Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been raising some major eyebrows with their recent joint outings
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas were spotted together for the first time almost three month ago. The duo were seen leaving a restaurant in London’s Soho neighborhood the night before Valentine’s Day. The American action star and the Cuban actress were carrying doggie bags, stopped to pose for selfies with a group of fans before hopping into a taxi together.
Reports at the time cited sources who claimed the pair had just enjoyed dinner with their agents to talk about the potential for future collaborations, according to US magazine. Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been raising some major eyebrows with their recent joint outings.
On May 3, the Top Gun actor and the Blonde actress were photographed ducking down in the back seat of an SUV after leaving Core, a restaurant in London’s Notting Hill area, after attending his pal David Beckham’s 50th birthday party. Are these sequence of events the start of something more?
"It's low-key, still new and in the early stages,” a source confirmed to Us Weekly exclusively. “Their romance is definitely on the down low.” Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been turning heads with their recent appearances together, fueling speculation that something more than friendship might be developing.
According to an exclusive source for Us Weekly, “It’s very low-key, still new, and in the early stages. Their romance is definitely being kept under wraps.” The insider revealed that Cruise, 62, and de Armas, 37, crossed paths several times through Hollywood circles over the years. Their connection reportedly got a boost from a trusted mutual friend—Penélope Cruz—who had nothing but praise for the Blonde actress.
“Penélope spoke highly of Ana, both personally and professionally,” the source said, noting that her endorsement helped pave the way for the budding relationship.
Cruz and Cruise previously dated for three years after they starred together in Vanilla Sky in 2001. The relationship ended in January 2004, but the two have remained friends, per the source. Cruz and de Armas starred in 2019’s Wasp Network.
According to the insider, de Armas originally met with Cruise to discuss work-related matters in February before the “relationship developed.” Cruise was “super smitten” with de Armas and it “developed into feelings.”

“She isn’t looking for anything to move too fast, she’s taking it really slow,” the source shared, adding that the actress’ relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, had come to an end.
Privacy is a major priority for de Armas, especially when it comes to romance. “She doesn’t enjoy the public attention that comes with dating someone high-profile,” the source explains. Her past relationship with Ben Affleck was highly publicized — an experience that reportedly left her wary of the spotlight.

That reluctance is something Cruise admires. “He respects her desire to keep things private,” the source adds.
The pair were first photographed together in February during an outing in London’s Soho neighborhood. The following month, they were spotted arriving by helicopter at the London Heliport on March 15, appearing relaxed and in good spirits — further sparking dating rumors.
For now, the couple appears focused on keeping their romance grounded and away from the headlines — at least as much as two A-list actors can manage.
