Cuban actress Ana de Armas is finally setting the record straight about those swirling romance rumors with Hollywood icon Tom Cruise.
On May 15, 2025, during an exclusive interview appearance on Good Morning America to promote her upcoming film Ballerina: From The World Of John Wick, Ana was asked point-blank by host Michael Strahan about her relationship with Cruise.
With a bright smile and carefully chosen words, Ana cryptically brushed off the speculation, choosing instead to focus on their professional dynamic. She shared,
“You know, it’s so much fun. And we’re definitely working on a lot of things”.
Further teasing several upcoming creative collaborations with Cruise, Ana added,
“Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I’m so excited”.
Ana And Tom’s Alleged Birthday Celebration Adds Fuel To Romance Rumors
Just days before the Knives Out star’s recent comments about her relationship with Tom, the rumored couple was spotted arriving at a London airport on April 29, 2025, in Cruise’s private helicopter, which he piloted himself.
In a short paparazzi-captured clip, the Mission: Impossible actor was seen chatting with Ana as she carefully stepped down from the helicopter. While their exact conversation wasn’t caught on camera, the vibe seemed relaxed and cheerful.
Ana was then seen walking ahead with her two beloved dogs and a female friend, while Cruise stayed behind briefly to gather his belongings and greet the staff.

Fueling the rumor mill even more, an anonymous tipster submitted a sighting to gossip site DeuxMoi the next day, claiming they saw the pair out celebrating Ana’s 37th birthday. The message read,
“Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas were spotted at Kol restaurant tonight in London. Today, April 30, is Ana’s birthday”.
Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise first sparked romance rumors back in February 2025, when they were spotted spending Valentine’s Day together at a restaurant in London’s Soho district.
However, firmly shutting down speculation of a budding romance, an anonymous insider close to the stars told PEOPLE magazine,
“They were discussing potential collaborations down the line. [They] appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends”.
Fans Urge Ana To Walk Away From Tom Before It Gets Serious
The online community wasn’t exactly buying Ana’s response. Many social media users roasted the rumored romance and urged the actress to rethink her relationship choices, especially given her past with Ben Affleck and now, potentially, Tom. Some such comments read,
“This girl choices are questionable first it was ben and now tom”.
“Run girl as fast and hard as you can!!”
“Girl is climbing the Hollywood chain 🤣”
“I’m curious how she could go from Ben Affleck to Tom Cruise. 🤔”
“Let me guess ‘we’re just friends’ lol”.
“She’s fame hungry for sure”.
“Run for the hills sweetheart…”
Whether it’s romance or a calculated PR power move? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure: this Hollywood plot is far from over.
