The two were also observed leaving former England football star David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration in London in May.
Earlier in July, Cruise and De Armas were glimpsed together on a yacht near an island in Spain.
They are set to star in upcoming supernatural ocean thriller Deeper , directed by American filmmaker Doug Liman. Filming is scheduled to begin in August.

Jackie Chan makes rare appearance with 42YO son Jaycee in Switzerland
Jackie Chan has a 42-year-old son Jaycee with former actress Joan Lin. Photos: China Press, Xiaohongshu American singer-actor Jaycee Chan, the son of Hong Kong icon Jackie Chan, has largely kept a low profile since his 2014 drug scandal. At the time, Jackie, 71, voiced his disappointment in his son and stated he would not use his connections to help him. The pair only reconciled after Jaycee, 42, completed his six-month prison sentence and have rarely been seen together in public… until recently. On Wednesday (Aug 6), a netizen on Xiaohongshu revealed that they had unexpectedly run into Jackie and his son at Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The post included a photo of Jackie – dressed casually in an all-white outfit – strolling alongside a few others. Although Jaycee's face wasn't visible in the picture, the netizen said he was the one wearing a black cap. 'I was sitting on a chair by the lake, just daydreaming, when I turned around and saw Jackie Chan! The guy in the black cap next to him was Jaycee, but I didn't manage to snap a photo of him,' the user wrote. It's understood that Jackie is in Switzerland to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 78th Locarno Film Festival, scheduled for Aug 9. Prior to the 2014 drug scandal, the father-son duo appeared together in films such as The Twins Effect II (2004) and 1911 (2011), where they showcased their on-screen chemistry. Jaycee is the only son of Jackie and his wife, former actress Joan Lin. The action star has an estranged 25-year-old daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam, from an extramarital affair with former beauty queen Elaine Ng.

In a statement, the American vacation rental company said the online platform also supported four per cent of tourism-related employment, equivalent to one in every 26 jobs in the industry. Overall, it said Airbnb-linked economic activity helped support around 93,600 jobs and contributed RM2.1 billion in wage income. "Beyond front-line tourism sectors, Airbnb-generated activity injected significant value into the wider economy: contributing almost RM1.4 billion in manufacturing, RM1.2 billion in transport and storage, RM1.2 billion in food and beverage services, and over RM1.0 billion in wholesale and retail trade,' Airbnb said. The survey also found that Airbnb guests' spending in Malaysia, which includes accommodation and non-accommodation expenses, reached RM11 billion in 2024. It said host earnings further support local economies through property upkeep, domestic services, and personal consumption. Additionally, it highlighted a strong rebound in domestic travel, with Malaysian travellers making up 67 per cent of Airbnb guests in 2024, surpassing pre-pandemic levels in 2019. International travellers accounted for the remaining 33 per cent, more than double their share from 2022, reflecting Malaysia's rising global appeal, it said. Malaysians are rediscovering the joy of domestic travel Airbnb said that among international guests, over 80 per cent were from the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, reaffirming the importance of APAC markets as key inbound sources. Travel in Malaysia is also expanding beyond major cities, with more than half of Airbnb guests' spending in 2024 occurring outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The company said these non-urban areas contributed 62 per cent of Airbnb's GDP impact, supported 63,500 jobs, and generated RM1.3 billion in wages. Airbnb's country head for Southeast Asia and India Amanpreet Bajaj said that with more than half of stays happening outside the major areas of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Airbnb is helping spread the economic benefits to more communities in Malaysia. "It is incredibly rewarding to know that Airbnb is helping local businesses thrive, creating jobs, and spreading economic benefits across the country,' he said. - BERNAMA More Like This

Influencer Kim Seri Accused Of Neglecting Her 3 Kids In Malaysia While Living In Korea
Malaysian influencer Kim Seri has been receiving negative press lately. Previously, the content creator was accused of travel package fraud after a woman and several colleagues were allegedly left stranded in South Korea due to Kim Seri's travel agency failing to provide return tickets. The case appears to still be ongoing, with little to no updates following the arrest of her former husband. While all of this was happening, the public figure has since remarried, this time to a Korean-Muslim man named Choi Amin. However, Kim Seri is now facing renewed backlash, this time over allegations of being a neglectful mother to her two children. The latest criticism stems from a post on Threads by an anonymous user who goes by @/user768592844621919, who questioned Kim Seri's parenting. The post insinuated that she had abandoned her children while enjoying a comfortable life in Korea. 'Doesn't she miss her kids? I mean, she's living comfortably in Korea, even got married to someone there, but it's a pity that she hasn't been a present parent. It's a shame that they have a mother who is a scammer,' the post read. The post quickly went viral, with many netizens agreeing with the user's sentiments. Numerous commenters criticised the influencer for allegedly failing to prioritise her children, accusing her of being an irresponsible parent. Others continued to brand her a scammer and claimed that she had brought shame to her family. At the time of writing, Kim Seri has yet to respond to the latest backlash. However, she has previously denied similar accusations, stating that it was her ex-sister-in-law who had restricted her access to her children. In other news, the Malaysian influencer is taking legal action against an individual who questioned the legitimacy of her marriage to her new husband. At this point, let's just hope there's an end to this whole fiasco surrounding Kim Seri. Sources: Threads, Instagram
