Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas Seem to Confirm Romance With PDA
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have reportedly taken their long-rumored relationship to a new level. Photos from a recent getaway to Woodstock, Vermont show the pair holding hands, fueling widespread speculation that their romance is now publicly confirmed.
Their connection first grabbed attention in February 2025, when they were photographed having dinner in London—initially described as purely professional by sources close to Cruise and de Armas. Over the following months, sightings grew more frequent and intimate: helicopter rides in London and Madrid with director Doug Liman, celebrating de Armas’s birthday in Hyde Park, and attending David Beckham's 50th birthday party, where the British press dubbed her Cruise’s “girlfriend.”
In June, snapshots from a private yacht trip near Menorca captured Cruise and de Armas relaxed and smiling alongside her dog, Salsa—a serene moment that reignited speculation about their relationship.
The Vermont outing appears to be their most public display of affection yet. TMZ photos show them shopping, cruising through a national park, and sharing ice cream—all while holding hands. That kind of closeness, especially from someone as notoriously private as Cruise, is rare.
Although neither celebrity has officially addressed the nature of their relationship, public speculation has increased due to their media appearances. Cruise has consistently praised de Armas’s talent—especially her performance in Ballerina—calling her “very, very talented” during press interviews. Meanwhile de Armas has described working with Cruise as “so much fun,” hinting at several collaborative projects with him, director Doug Liman, and filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie.
Industry outlets like The Cut and People suggest the timing of their outings—spanning public events, personal celebrations, and film-related travel—might be strategic, part of coordinated promotion around Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and de Armas’s upcoming Ballerina release. Yet, since agents for both have denied confirming romance rumors, the ambiguity seems to be intentional.
What’s growing clearer is that their collaboration isn’t just professional. The pair are set to co-star in Deeper, a supernatural ocean thriller directed by Doug Liman, slated to begin production in August 2025. Their on-screen chemistry and frequent shared outings suggest a deepening personal connection alongside the creative partnership.
For fans of both actors and pop culture enthusiasts, this pairing is notable due to the extreme age gap: Cruise is in his sixties, and de Armas is in her late thirties. Cruise’s last confirmed long-term relationship ended in 2012, and de Armas has had high-profile past relationships, including with Ben Affleck in 2019. The Vermont sighting marks a rare moment of openness from both stars.
Whether this is a genuine romance unfolding or a polished PR strategy tied to their upcoming films is anyone’s guess. At minimum, their growing comfort in sharing public moments points to something personal—even if they don’t confirm the rumors for the time being. As they continue to appear side by side on red carpets, vacation shores, and film sets, observers will be watching for more overt confirmations of this A-list pairing.
