Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas. Rumours have been swirling about the Mission Impossible star, 62, and the Bond girl, 37, after they were spotted together having dinner in London around Valentine\u2019s Day. But earlier this month, the rumour mill went into overdrive, as they attended David Beckham\u2019s glitzy 50th birthday party together \u2013 with the pair later spotted on a walk together on Ana\u2019s 37th birthday. They\u2019ve reportedly been on holiday to Madrid, too.<\/p>\n<p>According to a source, the pairing must be the real deal, otherwise he wouldn\u2019t have taken Ana to the footballer\u2019s bash at three Michelin-star restaurant Core in London. \u2018Tom has known David for 25 years. There is no way he would bring someone to David\u2019s 50th unless it was serious,\u2019 the source told The Mail on Sunday. \u2018Tom\u2019s not that kind of guy. People at the party were talking about how it must be serious if Tom invited Ana to join him at such an intimate event. Everyone else was there with their wives and husbands.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But the most shocking news of all? Apparently Tom spent an eye-watering \u00a38,662 on Ana. No, not on a gift \u2013 but on transporting her to Heathrow airport, for her return to New York City, in his private \u00a31million helicopter. According to The Sun, the actor paid\u00a0\u00a34,850 to charter the helicopter to Heathrow, and then another \u00a33,812 making sure Ana could check in to the airport\u2019s VIP Windsor Suite. \u2018Tom wants Ana to know she can have the best of the best and doesn\u2019t think twice about the bill,\u2019 a source told the paper. &#8216;He\u2019s a total gent and just wants to do right by Ana. If that means splashing the cash then so be it.&#8217;<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2214985612.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Ana de Armas&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Celebrity Sightings In New York City &#8211; May 13, 2025&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p>However, there have been some alternate, perhaps less exciting, theories about their pairing. A source told Page Six they think Tom could be stepping in to a mentor role. This month, both will star in high-octane action films; Tom in Mission: Impossible \u2013 The Final Reckoning, and Ana in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, where she plays an assassin ballerina. \u2018I\u2019m sure she\u2019s called him for advice,\u2019 the source added. \u2018I\u2019m sure they conversed on [things like] \u201cthis is how the stunt guys do it.\u201d I\u2019m sure he gives her a lot of tips \u2014 he\u2019s a legend in the stunt world.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ana has also given Tom a shoutout in interviews before, and in 2023, she told USA Today she had admiration for his work. \u2018I can appreciate what he does 100% now, and I totally get why he does it,\u2019 the actress said. \u2018He\u2019s so mind blowing.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also been other reports that Tom wants to cast Ana as a lead in an upcoming project (though details about this are pretty thin on the ground). &#8216;He is developing a new film and he has approached Ana to be his leading lady,\u2019 a source told The Sun. \u2018Ana is one of the best actresses in the business as far as Tom is concerned and he wants her by his side in the new movie.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>For De Armas, her last headline-hitting Hollywood romance was with Ben Affleck, after the pair worked together on Deep Water. They started dating in March 2020, but split less than a year later, with sources saying they broke up as Ben wouldn\u2019t marry Ana. But there have been reports Ben regrets the breakup, as he later went to re-marry, and divorce, Jennifer Lopez. \u2018Ben and Ana had such a special and unique relationship because they were holed up together 24\/7 during the pandemic,\u2019 an insider told the Daily Mail. \u2018They got so close so fast, and it was passionate and real.\u2019 The source adds that there\u2019s no hard feelings, though \u2013 and that Affleck hopes \u2018she finds what she wants and has a family\u2019.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-quote&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Libre Bodoni|||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8216;It&#8217;s very hard to be in Tom Cruise&#8217;s world.&#8217;<\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p>Cruise\u2019s most recent relationship was with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova in 2023, but the pair split a few months later, with a source telling Page Six \u2018their relationship simply ran its course\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been married three times, to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.
