Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas might not be playing coy anymore.
The two Oscar-nominated stars were seen holding hands this past weekend in Woodstock, Vermont, a moment that has reignited rumors of a possible romance between the Mission: Impossible star and the Ballerina lead.
TMZ also published photos of the pair looking relaxed and affectionate as they strolled together through the small town.
Their cozy New England trip included ice cream runs, shopping, and a scenic drive through a national park. Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas were also spotted attending Oasis’ sold-out reunion show in London.
While Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are both set to star in the upcoming Doug Liman project Deeper, which begins filming next month, fans online are now less convinced this pairing is purely professional.
Still, the timing of their sightings together have certainly raised eyebrows. Many speculated the two were spending time together as publicity stunt, especially after back-to-back action releases — Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in May and de Armas’ John Wick spinoff Ballerina in June.
However, both projects are weeks past their theatrical premieres, casting doubt on the idea that their appearances are promotional in nature.
Despite this, an insider recently told People that the Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas' dynamic was “not romantic,” though the actress had “nothing but amazing things to say” about Cruise, calling him an “incredible mentor.”
"Future wife": Tom Cruise reportedly went "all-out" for Ana de Armas
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas' Vermont sighting comes a month after a RadarOnline insider revealed that he gifted the No Time To Die star a personalized perfume that was crafted to match her skin. The source claimed:
"Tom is renowned for being relentless in everything he does, and wowing women is no different."
They added:
"He is eyeing Ana as a future wife and has been going all-out to wow her, from private jet trips to putting her up in the best suites. But his latest gift is his most personal yet."
Apart from the personalized perfume, Cruise reportedly rented a private jet to woo de Armas.
Insiders close to Cruise also divulged that the Top Gun actor has been in "relentless pursuit" of the actress, and made her the "center of his world."
Tom Cruise, 63, has had a famously public romantic history, including marriages to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes.
Ana de Armas, 37, was previously married to Spanish actor Marc Clotet and has dated both Ben Affleck and tech exec Paul Boukadakis in recent years.
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are yet to comment publicly on the nature of their relationship, but with filming for Deeper right around the corner, it likely won’t be the last time they’re seen together.
