Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have once again been spotted spending time together amid ongoing romance rumors.
The A-listers were photographed lounging together on a luxury yacht near Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain, in the Mediterranean on June 30, according to Holá. Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37, appeared to be vacationing alone, aside from the actress’s dog Salsa and the yacht crew.
De Armas could be seen wearing a sheer coverup over a bikini with a white-brimmed raffia hat, while Cruise shielded himself from the sun in a Panama hat, a blue long-sleeve shirt and navy shorts. Their yacht was photographed on the ocean between Cala’n Bosc and Cap D’Andratx after setting off from a port in Ciutadella de Menorca.
Cruise and the James Bond actress were initially seen dining together over Valentine’s Day weekend in London’s Soho neighborhood. The couple traveled to various hotspots over the next several weeks, including landing in London in Cruise’s personal helicopter in March. The Mission: Impossible star also flew de Armas to London one day before she turned 37 in April.
A source close to the pair exclusively told Us Weekly in May that Cruise and de Armas’ connection was “low-key, still new and in the early stages,” so they were trying to keep their romance “on the down low.”
The two Hollywood superstars reportedly first met in February to discuss potential work projects before a “relationship developed,” according to the insider. The source revealed that Cruise was “super smitten” with de Armas and their connection ultimately “developed into feelings.”
During an appearance on Good Morning America in May, de Armas confirmed she’d been having “so much fun” with Cruise, though she suggested they were simply working together on unspecified projects.
“We’re definitely working on a lot of things,” she said. “Not just one, but a few projects with [Cruise’s producers] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. I’m so excited.”
Prior to their recent Mediterranean vacation, Cruise and de Armas had not been seen together as often due to their busy schedules. Cruise was on a whirlwind worldwide press tour for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning prior to its May release, while de Armas was promoting From the World of John Wick: Ballerina at the same time.
Still, speculation about Cruise and de Armas’s connection followed them on their separate PR tours. Variety asked de Armas at the From the World of John Wick: Ballerina premiere in June whether Cruise was supportive of the movie.
“You know what, he supports every movie,” she coyly replied. “He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. We’re working together, so he got to see Ballerina, and he actually really liked it. He loved the John Wick [franchise].”
The actress added, “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina.] It is really special, in general, to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”
Prior to their rumored relationship, de Armas was married to model and actor Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013 and also dated her Deep Water costar Ben Affleck in 2020.
Cruise has been married three times: first to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, then to Nicole Kidman between 1990 and 2001 and finally to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2013. Perhaps surprisingly, Holmes seemingly offered her support for Cruise’s apparent new romance when she “liked” a social media post about her ex-husband dating de Armas earlier in July.
