For weeks, fans have been buzzing over Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise—and now, the mystery is starting to unravel.
After keeping things quiet for some time, Ana finally decided to clear the air during a live appearance on Good Morning America, and let’s just say—she didn’t hold back.
Rumors, Helicopters, and Valentine’s Day Dinners
The speculation really picked up around Valentine’s Day, when Ana and Tom were spotted out to dinner together.
Since then, the whispers only got louder—especially when Ana was seen flying alongside Tom in his private helicopter as they touched down in London last April.
Paparazzi captured the Mission: Impossible star beaming as he piloted the aircraft, with Ana at his side.
She Didn’t Dodge the Question—She Smiled Through It
During her GMA chat, Ana was there to promote her upcoming action film Ballerina, where she co-stars with Keanu Reeves and dives headfirst into some seriously intense stunts.
But it wasn’t long before host Michael Strahan steered the conversation toward another action icon—Tom Cruise.
“You’re working with another big star, Tom Cruise, on a project that’ll have you doing even more wild stunts,” Strahan nudged.
Ana didn’t miss a beat. With a big grin, she responded, “It’s so much fun. We’re definitely working on a lot of things.”
“And of course, Tom,” she added, still smiling. “I’m so excited.”
A Romance Getting More Serious—and Getting Some Surprising Support
Sources close to the couple say that things between Ana and Tom have been heating up in recent weeks.
And interestingly, one of Tom’s most well-known exes is reportedly cheering them on.
Penélope Cruz, who dated Tom from 2001 to 2004 and worked with Ana in WASP Network, is said to fully support the relationship.
“Penélope is happy for Ana and gave her blessing,” a source shared.
The two actresses have known each other for years and share mutual friends from Ana’s time living in Madrid.
From Hollywood to the Quiet Hills of Vermont
Ana’s connection to Tom seems to go beyond just their professional chemistry.
Friends say she feels safe around him—something that’s become very important to her.
After experiencing uncomfortable run-ins with stalkers and overzealous fans in Venice Beach, Ana chose to move to a secluded part of Vermont in 2022, buying a six-bedroom retreat for over $7 million.
“She loves the peace and quiet,” a friend revealed. “She travels to busy cities with Tom, like London, but she always feels protected when she’s with him.
He’s incredibly thoughtful, surrounds her with security, and makes sure she’s never at risk.”
Shared Values and a Calm Lifestyle
According to people close to them, Ana and Tom seem to be compatible in more ways than one.
Both shy away from the Hollywood party scene, preferring quiet nights in.
“Ana’s not into partying—she likes calm evenings, just like Tom,” an insider noted.
That shared mindset has some friends thinking the relationship could really go the distance.
Still, not everyone’s calling it true love just yet. One source emphasized that they’re still taking it “day by day,” and that Ana isn’t someone who falls easily.
“She’s careful with her heart,” the source said. “But she’s always had a thing for older guys, and Tom definitely fits her type.”
Her Last Romance Ended Quickly—but Cruise Wasn’t Far Behind
Before Tom entered the picture, Ana had briefly been linked to the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.
The pair were seen sharing some PDA on a stroll through Madrid last December.
But that fling fizzled out quickly—and by February, Ana was dining with Cruise in London on Valentine’s Day.
At the time, sources insisted it was strictly business. “They were just discussing future film projects,” one insider claimed.
But others suggested that Tom was already trying to impress her. “He wants Ana to know she can have the best of the best,” said a source.
“He’s a true gentleman. If that means pulling out all the stops, so be it.”
