Tom Cruise, Ana de Armas appear to confirm romance is not for PR
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas appear to have confirmed they're indeed an item, and not just a PR-generated one.
The Oscar nominees — who share a 26-year age difference and are expected to start filming Doug Liman's 'Deeper' next month — were spotted holding hands Sunday in Woodstock, Vermont, where they spent what looked a lot like a romantic weekend, according to photos published by TMZ.
The pair reportedly started off the weekend in London at Oasis' hotly anticipated sold-out reunion show before indulging in lower-key activities — shopping, ice cream, driving through a national park — in the Green Mountain State.
The outings appear to go against speculation that the actors were just hanging out to promote their recent big-ticket action flicks — his being 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' released in late May, and hers the 'John Wick' spinoff 'Ballerina' released in early June.
While the final installment of 'Mission: Impossible' is now hanging onto showtimes like Cruise's Ethan Hunt hung onto a biplane — and both films, which underwhelmed at the box office, could use the push with VOD and streaming customers — they're well past the opening weekend hubbub. This makes it all the more likely that Cruise and de Armas are, in fact, for real.
The suspected couple set off romance rumors in February when they were seen in London together the day before Valentine's Day. They were photographed again in the British capital in mid-March and the day before de Armas' 37th birthday in April.
In late June, they were seen on a yacht in Menorca, Spain, only for a source to tell People earlier this month that the relationship was 'not romantic,' though de Armas had 'nothing but amazing things to say' about 'incredible mentor' Cruise.
Cruise, 63, was previously married to Mimi Rodgers in the late 1980s, followed by a more than decade-long marriage to Nicole Kidman, with whom he shares two adopted adult children. From 2006 to 2012, he was famously married to Katie Holmes. Cruise for years has reportedly been estranged from their 19-year-old daughter, Suri, who dropped her father's surname last year.
De Armas, meanwhile, has been linked to several high-profile men, including her 'Deep Water' co-star Ben Affleck in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. She was previously married to Spanish actor Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013, and dated Tinder Vice President Paul Boukadakis from late 2021 to late 2024.

Sharon Stone says she still makes more money modeling than acting
Sharon Stone has been a Hollywood icon for over a quarter century, but when it comes to getting paid, her acting work isn't the most lucrative. "I still make more money today modeling than in film," Stone, 67, told Business Insider. "It's still a huge part of my reality." Stone started her career as a model, quitting school at 15 and moving to New York City to enter the fashion world. She was quickly signed by Ford Modeling Agency and found herself working regularly in Milan and Paris. By 19, she returned to New York and began pursuing acting as a path to her initial goal: directing. "Back then, I wanted to be a director, but the pesky vagina has stood in my way. Because how could you possibly have a brain and a vagina?" Stone told BI. "It seems to have confounded so many." In those early days, Stone rollerbladed around Manhattan to her auditions, her giant modeling portfolio in tow. She got her big break in 1980, when she was cast as one of the extras in Woody Allen's "Stardust Memories," and was later asked to step in for a spot in the movie's opening scene, where Allen, sitting on a train, sees a beautiful woman across from him on another train. "I was 19 and they put me in this tight dress, and I was so awkward about my body," Stone recalled. "The hair person put a real gardenia in my hair. It really meant the world to me that she did that. It made me feel important." Stone became a hot commodity in Hollywood after "Stardust Memories." After regularly working in B-movies through the 1980s like "King Solomon's Mines" and "Police Academy 4," she landed the role that would change her life when she scored the female lead in the 1992 sensation "Basic Instinct." Though the role made her an icon, she wasn't paid like one. In 2023, Stone revealed she was paid $500,000 for "Basic Instinct" while her costar Michael Douglas earned $14 million. She went on to earn an Oscar nomination in 1996 for her performance opposite Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's "Casino," and won an Emmy in 2004 for her guest spot on "The Practice." But her career was also dogged by money troubles: the actor revealed in 2024 that she lost $18 million in savings after suffering a stroke in 2001. "When I got back into my bank account, it was all gone. My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people's names," Stone said. "I had zero money." Over the years, Stone has modeled for high fashion brands like Dior and Dolce & Gabbana, and recently did ads for Mugler. "I'm still one of the oldest women consistently modeling today," Stone said. "I'm very, very grateful I still get to do it." Next, Stone will star in "Nobody 2," opening in theaters August 15.

The insider concluded, 'For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.'
