Hollywood's latest potential power couple steps into the spotlight with intimate weekend outing
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have set tongues wagging across Hollywood after being photographed holding hands during what appeared to be a romantic weekend getaway in Vermont. The images, captured on July 27, show the 63-year-old Mission: Impossible star and the 37-year-old Ballerina actress walking intimately together, seemingly confirming months of swirling romance rumors.
The casual outing saw Cruise dressed in his signature low-key style – a navy blue t-shirt, dark slacks, and baseball cap – while de Armas kept things equally relaxed in a white tee and black flared jeans. The pair were spotted enjoying a drive through a nearby national park, shopping, and stopping for ice cream, painting a picture of domestic bliss that has fans buzzing.
This Vermont rendezvous marks the most public display of affection between the two stars, who first sparked dating speculation in February when they were photographed dining together in London. At the time, representatives dismissed the encounter as a professional meeting with their agents to discuss "potential collaborations," insisting there was "no romantic connection."
However, subsequent sightings have told a different story. The duo was recently spotted at an Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium, where concertgoers noted their apparent chemistry as they laughed, danced, and held hands in the crowd. Earlier this summer, they were also photographed together on a yacht in Spain, adding fuel to the speculation fire.
The relationship timeline has coincided with their professional collaboration on the upcoming supernatural ocean thriller "Deeper," directed by Doug Liman. Sources close to the production describe de Armas as being "very excited" to work with Cruise, calling it "an opportunity of a lifetime." The Cuban-Spanish actress has reportedly spent the summer preparing for the role, with insiders noting that Cruise has become "an incredible mentor" to her.
For Cruise, this marks his first public romantic interest since his high-profile divorce from Katie Holmes in 2012. The Top Gun star, who shares daughter Suri with Holmes and has two children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, has largely kept his personal life private in recent years.
De Armas, meanwhile, was most recently linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president, though sources confirmed she was single and "focused" on her upcoming projects before these latest developments.
The 26-year age gap between the stars has sparked online debate, with social media users offering mixed reactions. While some critics have focused on their age difference, supporters have rushed to defend the potential couple, with many pointing out that both are consenting adults free to make their own choices.
Neither Cruise nor de Armas has officially commented on their relationship status, maintaining the air of mystery that has kept Hollywood watchers guessing. As fans eagerly await confirmation, one thing seems certain, this is one romance rumor that shows no signs of fading away.
The entertainment world will be watching closely to see if this soft launch becomes an official announcement in the coming weeks.
