Are Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas dating?
Let’s rewind to where all the buzz began. In February 2025, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas were spotted grabbing dinner together in London, instantly setting off sirens in the gossip world. Snapped by onlookers outside a trendy spot, the pair seemed relaxed and cheerful, chatting with fans, posing for a few quick selfies, and eventually hopping into a cab together. It didn’t take long for the dating rumors to ignite.
But according to a report by People, this wasn’t a romantic rendezvous; it was strictly business. Both stars were reportedly accompanied by their agents, and the dinner was said to revolve around potential film collaborations. Apparently, the chemistry was all professional, and nothing romantic was involved.
But then March hit, and the plot thickened. Cruise and de Armas were seen again in London, but this time making an entrance worthy of a movie scene, arriving by helicopter. Once again, sources insisted it was just a meeting, with director Doug Liman joining them for discussions about their upcoming project.
Things didn’t cool down in April either. There was another helicopter sighting, this time from Madrid to London, with Armas’ two adorable dogs, Elvis and Salsa, tagging along, and Doug Liman once again in the mix.
Then came what many are calling the softest soft-launch yet. On Armas’ 37th birthday, the pair were spotted taking a relaxed stroll through a park, just the two of them. Not long after, they made another headline-worthy appearance, this time leaving David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday party together in London’s Notting Hill. Whether it’s pure coincidence or the beginnings of a slow-burn PR romance is still up for debate, but fans are definitely reading between the lines.
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas’ professional relationship
While the internet tries to play matchmaker, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are busy building what might just be one of Hollywood’s most exciting actor-director pairings in the making. Their upcoming supernatural thriller Deeper, directed by Doug Liman and written by Christopher McQuarrie, has them teaming up in a big way.
Behind the scenes, Ana’s been deep in training for her role, which fans say shows just how serious this project and their working dynamic are. Most of their hangouts so far? According to insiders, all tied to scripts, shoots, and big-picture creative talks.
But let’s talk about the compliments, because they’ve been flying left and right, and we’re living for it. At the Ballerina premiere on June 3, Ana couldn’t stop smiling when asked about Cruise’s support. She called it “unbelievable” and “really amazing,” telling Variety, “He supports every movie. He really wants the industry and cinema to go well, and people going to the theaters… It’s really special to have someone like him supporting Ballerina.”
And Cruise? He’s just as smitten with her talent, at least. “Her ability is incredible,” he said in an interview with Extra. “She’s got dramatic chops, she’s comedic, very, very talented. Just a great actress.” Whether they’re co-stars, collaborators, or something more, this duo’s got undeniable star power, and they’re hyping each other up every step of the way.
Tom and Ana’s careers aren’t slowing down
While fans are busy dissecting their every move, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are doing what they do best: owning the big screen. Cruise just dropped another action-packed banger with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which hit theaters in May 2025 and is already raking in serious box office numbers.
But the man doesn’t rest. Up next? He’s switching things up in a big way with Judy, a wild new comedy directed by none other than Alejandro G. Iñárritu (yes, the guy behind Birdman). Tom himself described the script as “brutal, scary, and beautiful,” and honestly, we’re curious to see him trade his stunts for some dark laughs.
Ana de Armas, on the other hand, is fully in her action queen era. Ballerina, the John Wick spin-off where she plays a vengeance-driven assassin, dropped in June 2025 and is already getting love for its blend of sleek fight scenes and emotional grit. She’s sharing screen time with Keanu Reeves and absolutely holding her own. And she’s not stopping there; next up is Eden, a survival thriller directed by Ron Howard that hits theaters this August. Ana’s out here proving she can do it all, glam, grit, and guts, without missing a beat.
At this point, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas could post a photo of a handshake, and the internet would spiral. Between helicopter hangouts, red carpet compliments, and those suspiciously synced-up schedules, it’s no wonder fans are fully invested in whatever this is. Maybe it’s just a solid actor duo gearing up for blockbuster magic. Maybe it’s Hollywood’s slowest soft-launch. Either way, we’re watching.
What makes their dynamic so fun to follow is that it lives in the gray area, part friendship, part hype, part maybe more. And honestly? That mystery is half the appeal. Whether they’re swapping lines on set or sharing birthday walks through the park, Cruise and de Armas are giving fans a pairing we didn’t see coming but definitely can’t stop thinking about.
And with Deeper on the horizon, we can expect the speculations to rise tenfold.
