Looks like the whispers weren’t just noise, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas were spotted holding hands during a quiet trip to Vermont, and fans can’t stop talking about it. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the photos say a lot more than any press release ever could.
Cruise, known for his iconic roles in Tom Cruise movies like Mission Impossible, kept it simple in navy tones and his signature baseball cap. Right beside him, de Armas was dressed casually in black jeans, a white tee, and sneakers. Nothing fancy, just two people walking hand-in-hand in the countryside.
It’s not the first time the pair have been seen together, but it might be the most telling. Their Vermont weekend occurred months after rumors first surfaced in February, when they were photographed leaving a London restaurant in images obtained by the Daily Mail. At the time, it was all chalked up to a casual business dinner—talk of future projects, nothing more.

Since then, though, the sightings have added up. From David Beckham’s birthday bash to walks in the park and a yacht trip in Spain, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been appearing side-by-side far too often for people to believe it’s just “professional.” Add in their shared night at an Oasis concert, where they were caught in the background of DJ Goldie’s video, and it's pretty clear something’s going on here.
They also happen to be teaming up on a movie called Deeper, a supernatural thriller directed by Doug Liman. According to insiders, this project means a lot to de Armas, and Cruise has been helping her prepare for the role. One source even described him as a “mentor,” while she called the chance to work with him “an opportunity of a lifetime.”

It’s hard to miss the timing. Their growing connection seems to line up with the production timeline, and the more time they spend together—on and off set—the more people are convinced this is more than just two stars collaborating.
Let’s not forget the attention on de Armas’ past. Her romance with Ben Affleck was one of the most talked-about relationships during the 2020 lockdown era. They met while filming Deep Water and dated until early 2021. Their split was described as “completely amicable,” but it definitely left people curious about what was next for her.
Since then, Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck have gone their separate ways, he married Jennifer Lopez, and she kept a relatively low profile in terms of dating. That’s what makes this sudden string of appearances with Cruise even more interesting. After keeping things quiet for so long, this kind of visibility feels intentional.
Meanwhile, Cruise has had his own history with high-profile marriages and relationships. From Mimi Rogers to Nicole Kidman to Katie Holmes, his personal life has been under the microscope for decades. But for years now, he’s kept things private—until now.
Seeing the Mission Impossible star out on what seems to be a casual date in Vermont isn’t just rare it’s news. Especially when he’s holding hands with someone like de Armas, who’s currently in the spotlight thanks to her roles in Ballerina and other big projects.
The buzz isn’t just about their personal lives but also their careers. De Armas has been climbing fast in Hollywood, and teaming up with Cruise on a major thriller will only push that momentum further. Whether they’re promoting a movie or building something more behind the scenes, people are watching—and talking.
Some are calling this pairing the unexpected duo of the year. Others are already shipping them. But no matter how you look at it, the Vermont weekend is the strongest sign that Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas might be more than co-stars.
Their fans are here for it. And whether you’re following because you love Tom Cruise movies, want updates on Ana de Armas relationship, or you’re just curious how this story unfolds, this is one of those celebrity connections that has all the right ingredients to keep people hooked.
For now, they’re keeping it quiet. No statements, no interviews, just two stars enjoying a little time off together. But as more photos surface and Deeper begins production, we’ll likely see a lot more of this duo on the screen and maybe off it too.
