Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have ignited romance speculation after being spotted arriving together in London just days before the actress's 37th birthday, according to the Daily Mail.

Cruise, 62, was photographed piloting the pair into the city via helicopter, with de Armas seated beside him looking relaxed and casual in shorts, sneakers, and sunglasses. She was seen carrying her dog Elvis, while a friend handled her second pup, Salsa. The Mission: Impossible star kept it simple in a fitted T-shirt and jeans.

Sources cited by the Daily Mail claim the relationship has been quietly developing over the past few weeks, with one notable supporter: Penélope Cruz, Cruise’s ex-girlfriend from 2001 to 2004. “Ana has said that Penélope is happy for her—she approves,” one insider said, noting that de Armas and Cruz share mutual friends from Madrid.

Cruise is reportedly planning to bring de Armas as his guest to the 78th Cannes Film Festival, where his upcoming film ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ will premiere on May 14.

According to sources, de Armas feels protected and cared for in Cruise’s company. After facing unwanted attention from fans and stalkers while living in Venice Beach, she relocated to a remote $7 million property in Vermont in 2022.

“She loves being away from the crazy,” a source said. “But when she travels with Tom to busy cities like London, he ensures her safety and comfort.”

Described as having a “thing for older men,” de Armas is reportedly taking things slow. “They’re taking it day by day,” a source added. “Ana doesn’t give her heart away easily.”

Though neither Cruise nor de Armas has publicly commented, their recent appearance suggests there may be more than just friendship in the air.
