“They spent every day together in preparation and training for the intense underwater sequences,” the insider explains. “It started as a deep professional respect and then it ignited. Tom was completely captivated by Ana.”
As for de Armas, the source says, “On a personal level, she enjoyed his company, and he was fun to be with. One of the things that attracted her most to him was he supported her and everything she wanted to do.”
Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Cruise and de Armas for comment.
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas had a working relationship before it developed into something more. After a few public sightings of the pair in spring 2025, a source exclusively revealed to Us Weekly in May that a “low-key” romance was brewing between Cruise and de Armas. “[It’s] still new and in the early stages,” […]
The Mission: Impossible star and the actress were first spotted spending time together in London in February. After having dinner in the Soho area during Valentine’s Day weekend, the pair carried takeout bags, posed for photos with fans and then left in a car together.
The following month, Cruise and de Armas were seen arriving via helicopter at the London Heliport.
The duo continued their public hangouts in April when Cruise flew de Armas in a copter in London one day before her 37th birthday. She was spotted exiting the aircraft with her two dogs, while he stepped out from the pilot’s seat.
As dating rumors swirled, a source cleared up any confusion about the nature of Cruise and de Armas’ relationship in May.
“It’s low-key, still new and in the early stages,” the insider exclusively told Us at the time. “Their romance is definitely on the down-low.”
As one of Hollywood’s hottest leading men, Tom Cruise knows that finding love can be a risky business. Cruise has been married three times: to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012. He has also romanced Cher, Heather Locklear and more […]
According to the source, Cruise and de Armas met through Hollywood circles in recent years, and their mutual friend Penélope Cruz — who dated Cruise from 2001 to 2004 and starred with de Armas in 2019’s Wasp Network — “raved” about de Armas to Cruise, giving her stamp of approval.
“Penélope put in a good word for her both personally and professionally,” the insider added.
As for how their romance blossomed, the source shared that de Armas met with Cruise in February to discuss work before their “relationship developed.”
Cruise was “super smitten” with de Armas, which “developed into feelings” between the two, the insider told Us.
“They’ve gone out on some dates, and it’s very low-key,” the source said at the time. “It’s in the early stages, and he’s been courting her.”
Ana de Armas has had a few high profile relationships through the years. De Armas started dating Spanish actor Marc Clotet in 2010. The twosome tied the knot in 2011, but called it quits in 2013. Following her split from Clotet, de Armas had reported romances with Franklin Latt from 2015 to 2016 and Alejandro […]
While Cruise was “really into her” — a feeling that de Armas reciprocated — she was “more cautious” about the burgeoning romance.
“She isn’t looking for anything to move too fast,” the insider revealed. “She’s taking it really slow.”
Cruise and de Armas planned to keep their relationship “very private” in an effort to protect themselves from “the intense media scrutiny.”
In fact, Cruise’s superstar status was one of the reasons de Armas was “unsure” their connection could translate into a long-term romance.
“She doesn’t like the public attention,” the source told Us, adding that her tendency to maintain privacy in her personal life was “one of the things Tom likes about her.”

Later that month, both de Armas and Cruise emphasized their professional relationship in separate interviews.
“It’s so much fun, and we’re definitely working on a lot of things,” she said on Good Morning America in May. “Not just one, but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. I’m so excited.”
Meanwhile, Cruise complimented de Armas’ movie Ballerina, telling reporters that the film “kicks ass” before adding, “You’re gonna love it.”
The following month, de Armas reacted to Cruise’s praise.
“You know what, he supports every movie. He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters,” she told Variety in June. “We’re working together, so he got to see Ballerina, and he actually really liked it. He loved the John Wick [franchise].”
She continued, “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina]. It is really special, in general, to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”
Later that month, Cruise and de Armas were spotted vacationing together on a luxury yacht near Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain, in the Mediterranean.
