Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas appear to have confirmed they’re indeed an item, and not just a PR-generated one.
The Oscar nominees — who share a 26-year age difference and are expected to start filming Doug Liman’s “Deeper” next month — were spotted holding hands Sunday in Woodstock, Vt., where they spent what looked a lot like a romantic weekend, according to photos published by TMZ.
The pair reportedly started off the weekend in London at Oasis’ hotly anticipated sold-out reunion show before indulging in lower-key activities — shopping, ice cream, driving through a national park — in The Green Mountain State.
The outings appear to go against speculation that the actors were just hanging out to promote their recent big-ticket action flicks — his being “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” released in late May, and hers the “John Wick” spinoff “Ballerina” released in early June.
While the final installment of “Mission: Impossible” is now hanging onto showtimes like Cruise’s Ethan Hunt hung onto a biplane — and both films, which underwhelmed at the box office, could use the push with VOD and streaming customers — they’re well past the opening weekend hubbub. This makes it all the more likely that Cruise and de Armas are, in fact, for real.
The suspected couple set off romance rumors in February when they were seen in London together the day before Valentine’s Day. They were photographed again in the British capital in mid-March and the day before de Armas’ 37th birthday in April.
In late June, they were seen on a yacht in Menorca, Spain, only for a source to tell People earlier this month that the relationship was “not romantic,” though de Armas had “nothing but amazing things to say” about “incredible mentor” Cruise.
Cruise, 63, was previously married to Mimi Rodgers in the late 1980s, followed by a more than decade-long marriage to Nicole Kidman, with whom he shares two adopted adult children. From 2006 to 2012, he was famously married to Katie Holmes. Cruise for years has reportedly been estranged from their 19-year-old daughter, Suri, who dropped her father’s surname last year.
De Armas, meanwhile, has been linked to several high-profile men, including her “Deep Water” co-star Ben Affleck in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. She was previously married to Spanish actor Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013, and dated Tinder Vice President Paul Boukadakis from late 2021 to late 2024.
