According to one source, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas parted ways when Cruise made it clear he wasn’t interested in siring another baby.
Cruise, 63, has two adopted children with Nicole Kidman and daughter Suri with Katie Holmes.
“He wants to enjoy his life and is done with having more kids,” said the insider. But De Armas, 37, “wants to have that option open to her in the near future.”
The Cuban-born actress reportedly had the same problem with Ben Affleck, 53, after they met in 2020 on the set of “Deep Water” and dated for nearly a year.
“Affleck is co-parenting his three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and didn’t want another family,” said my source.

For more than three decades, while most music journalists played it safe, Chaunce Hayden asked the questions no one else dared — and printed every answer.
Hayden, who toiled for Steppin Out magazine, has collected 72 of his interviews with pop stars for his latest book, “Rebels, Rockers and Icons.”
“These are not promotional soundbites,” Hayden told me. “They are late-night confessions, uncomfortable truths, and moments where the masks come off.”
Among the artists featured: Yoko Ono, Alice Cooper, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Slash, Nikki Sixx, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Rob Zombie, Henry Rollins, Katy Perry, John Lydon and Sammy Hagar.
James Brown told him after O.J. Simpson was acquitted for the murder of his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman, “I knew O.J. wouldn’t go to prison. If he didn’t walk, we would have had riots that made the other riots look like nothing.”
Kevin Bacon said rock fans appreciated The Bacon Brothers, his band with his brother Michael that has produced seven albums:
“People usually think we’re going to be pretty bad — that we’re really going to suck — and when they leave, they realize we don’t.”
David Lee Roth, lead singer of Van Halen, told Hayden, “I’ve never tried to be politically correct, because that’s not the job. My job was never to make people comfortable.
“Rock ’n’ roll isn’t supposed to be safe or polite or approved by a committee. It’s supposed to shake the walls, offend the neighbors, and scare the parents a little bit. If you’re worried about saying the wrong thing, you’re already doing it wrong.”
Willie Nelson said, “I’ve never really worried about fitting in anywhere. If you spend your life trying to please everybody, you don’t end up pleasing yourself.
“I just tried to stay free enough to write the songs I wanted, play with who I wanted, and live the way that felt honest to me. That freedom has cost me a lot — but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
Hayden now lives on a farm in Monaghan, Ireland with his teenage daughter, Poppi.

Cristina Cuomo doesn’t just talk about a healthy 2026, she’s ready to live it — and take readers of her Purist Magazine down the right road. She gets celebrities like this month’s cover Kate Hudson to share their secrets.
Cuomo herself “takes 12 supplements a day,” she said at the magazine’s holiday party at Pierre’s in Bridgehampton. “I love NAD+ [Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide] and sleep, sleep, sleep.”
Will more people go on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic in 2026? Cuomo says “Everyone is micro-dosing GLP-1 right now. If you’re on a GLP-1 you also have to do everything you can to get rid of your bad habits.”
Cuomo also warns that more studies are coming about side effects. She says our real problem is the foods we eat. And she’s upbeat about changes next year.
“Hopefully there’s a movement away from chemical-based ingredients in the food industry. That’s what’s making us sick and obese. It all starts at the grocery store.”
Okay. We’ll hide the Haagen-Dazs under the carrots.
Husband Chris Cuomo dropped by on the way to a TV studio for his nightly NewsNation show.
The son of Mario Cuomo and brother of Andrew Cuomo was more interested in the restoration of his ‘66 Chevy Nova. “I started it during COVID and should have it done by next year.”

Mariah Carey, Colman Domingo, Prince Harry, Jared Leto and Kate Hudson are just a few of the stars playing in the snow in Aspen, Colorado, during the holidays.
One of the fanciest parties is being given by Nancy Davis, the daughter of Barbara and billionaire Marvin Davis, who once owned 20th Century Fox, the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the Aspen Skiing Company.
Nancy, who has multiple sclerosis, will host the fete to celebrate the work of her foundations, Race to Erase MS and Cure Addiction Now, alongside entrepreneur Amy Green and her charity, The Green Vision, with high-end jeweler Michel Piranesi at the Piranesi store in the ritzy Rocky Mountain resort on Dec. 29.
Nancy’s son, Jason Davis, who died at 35 in 2020 from complications related to drug abuse, inspired her to create the rehabilitation charity. Nancy also helps her mother, Barbara, 94, who masterminds the Carousel of Hope Ball in Beverly Hills, which she founded in 1978. The gala has attracted every major Hollywood star, including Beyoncé, Elton John, Sting, Celine Dion, Paul McCartney, George Clooney and Stevie Wonder.
Other Hollywood stars with homes in Aspen include Jack Nicholson, Kevin Costner, Nicolas Cage, Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy. So expect lots of star power at the event.

Eco-philanthropist Amy Green just debuted a vegan leather fashion line called GIADA at nightlife queen Jayma Cardoso’s Snow Lodge at the St. Regis, in Aspen.
Green — whose environmental foundation The Green Vision has collaborated with everyone from Prince William to Ludacris and Richard Branson — served her guests Delphine Révillon champagne and truffles from Pollinator Chocolates.
Named after Green’s first child, GIADA is inspired by the sacred bond between mother and daughter and the belief “that luxury should feel loving, intentional, and kind.”
All GIADA pieces are crafted from cruelty-free materials featuring vegan suede and faux fur.
“GIADA is my love letter to my daughter and to the future,” said Green.
