Ana de Armas Was ‘Excited' to Host Tom Cruise in Vermont, Claims Report
Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise love story gets an update
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are reportedly building a strong bond.
A recent PEOPLE report suggests the two have grown 'incredibly close.' The pair was photographed holding hands during a weekend getaway in Vermont, where de Armas owns a home, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
A source tells People that the Knives Out star was excited to host Cruise and show him around local spots. They said, 'Ana loves Vermont. It's her place to rest and recharge. She was excited to host Tom and show him around. She took him to all her favorite spots.' The insider also added that she showed Cruise around her favorite local spots, including a well-loved bookstore in Woodstock.
The source added that de Armas genuinely enjoys spending time with Cruise, describing their relationship as close-knit. 'They've become incredibly close and Tom continues to be a huge support — both personally and professionally,' the source added.
Cruise and de Armas first attracted public attention back in February 2025, when they were spotted out together in London. At the time, sources downplayed any romantic involvement, stating they were 'just friends.' However, their continued appearances together since then have fueled rumors.
Over the summer, Cruise and de Armas have been seen enjoying helicopter rides across England, spending time on a boat in Spain, and attending the sold-out Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium on July 26.
Professionally, the two reportedly have a strong collaborative dynamic. A source on July 18 remarked on their working relationship, saying, 'Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana… Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime.'
Despite the public speculation, both actors have remained silent about the nature of their relationship.

Does More Freedom Equal Less Screen Time? Experts Think So
In a screen time battle, there are no winners. Either you give in and let your kids have way too much screen time, leading to increased mental health problems and other issues, or you strictly control their screens so much that they end up feeling ignored, misunderstood, and babied. It's a lose-lose situation. My oldest child is only 7, and it's already a struggle for my family. But what are we supposed to do? A new study asked experts how to actually lower screen time in kids, and the answer is something that feels completely counter-intuitive: give your kids more freedom. The Anxious Generation author Jonathan Haidt, along with Lenore Skenazy and Zach Rausch, recently partnered with Harris Poll to survey 500 U.S. kids ages 8 to 12 about their phone habits and wrote about the results in The Atlantic. They found that the majority of kids already owned smartphones, with about half of 10-to-12-year-olds reporting that 'most' or 'all' of their friends use social media, despite the minimum age being 13. (Haidt advocates that kids don't have phones until high school and social media until they are 16.) More from SheKnows Gen Z Is Bragging About 'Getting Cracked' on TikTok - & It May Not Mean What You Think Additionally, about 75 percent of kids ages 9 to 12 play the online game Roblox, where they can interact with friends and internet strangers. However, most of the children said they aren't allowed to be in public at all without an adult. Fewer than half of the 8- and 9-year-olds have gone down a grocery-store aisle alone and more than a quarter aren't allowed to play unsupervised in their front yard. When asked how they would prefer spending time with friends, the majority said unstructured play in real life. 'Children want to meet up in person, no screens or supervision,' the authors wrote. 'But because so many parents restrict their ability to socialize in the real world on their own, kids resort to the one thing that allows them to hang out with no adults hovering: their phones.' In fact, nearly three-quarters of kids in the study said they would spend less time online if there were more friends in their neighborhood to play with in person. Kids Want More Freedom Too Members of our SheKnows Teen Council shared how they enjoy stepping away from their phones for hands-on 'adventuring,' such as building a tiki hut, shooting hoops, and connecting with their friends. 'You're going out with your friends, you're finding activities to do, you're exploring, you're building something — it can really be anything,' 16-year-old Clive told us. And as a result? 'You feel double satisfaction. You had fun, and you're proud of yourself for not scrolling on your phone all day.' 'If there's a way that a kid can walk a few blocks to a store and buy something, at age 8, they should be doing that,' Haidt previously told SheKnows. 'And the kids who go out and do something, they come back and they're jumping up and down. They are so excited. It has a huge impact on the kids, but the really important thing is that it has an impact on the parents, because we don't know what the right age is to let them out. We're afraid.' Over-policing of Parents Short of getting in a time-machine and raising kids in the '80s, it's hard to let your kids roam the neighborhood when no other kids are doing it — or parents are watching out the windows and calling the police if they see unsupervised kids out and about. Take this tragedy from a family in North Carolina. Jessica and Sameule Jenkins let their 7-year-old son Legend and 10-year-old son Brandon walk to the neighborhood Food Lion supermarket and Subway sandwich shop, which was less than 10 minutes away from their apartment. In an interview with The New York Times, the parents revealed they were hesitant. 'I really thought against it,' said Mr. Jenkins. He added that he and his wife are 'very protective of our kids.' But they compromised: the boys could walk their if they stayed on the phone with their parents the whole time. 'They made it there safe,' Mrs. Jenkins said. But on the way back, Legend stepped off a grass median and was tragically hit and killed by an SUV driver. Although the driver faced no charges for the incident, the parents were charged with involuntary manslaughter with bail set at $1.5 million each. 'As many parents now control their children's every move, transgressions by parents who take a freer approach — one that used to be normal — can result in criminal charges,' stated the outlet. 'Just because parents don't have their eyes on their kids every single second doesn't mean they are bad parents,' Lenore Skenazy, who chronicles such cases as president of Let Grow, which advocates for more childhood freedom, along with Jonathan Haidt, told the outlet. 'We're blaming these parents, but they've done everything as good as they can for 10 years, and then something terrible happens.' When parents do let kids have more freedom, everyone benefits. How Parents Can Help Screen Addiction A March 2025 Common Sense Media report found that by the time kids are 2 years old, 40 percent have their own tablet. By age 8, nearly 1 in 4 kids have their own cell phone. Overall, 51 percent of children age 8 and younger have some sort of mobile device. And kids ages 5-8 spend about three and a half hours daily on screens. Other studies have shown that kids are addicted to their screens, which interferes with schoolwork, relationships, and life because they only want to be on their devices. Psychologist and author Dr. Becky Kennedy (known as 'Dr. Becky') previously talked to SheKnows about kids and screen time. She reminded us that we have to think about both short- and long-term needs for our kids. 'Sometimes short-term needs are, 'I need my kid to be fully occupied for an amount of time, so I can fill-in-the-blank: decompress, cook, answer emails, work out, have time to myself,' whatever it is. I totally understand this!' she told us. Long term needs might be: ''I want my kid to be able to access their own creativity and turn that creativity into action. I want my kid to learn to be bored, and to wait, and to know that that's part of human existence. I want my kid to learn that hard work and effort is what leads to good feelings, as opposed to only mindlessness and low effort leading to good, exciting feelings.'' '[I]t's not a way of saying long term needs should always trump short term needs,' Dr. Becky clarified. 'It's a way of saying we just need to think about them both.' No one is saying kids can never watch cartoons or play iPad games on a long car trip. But what experts are suggesting is that we also think about how we want to raise our kids to prepare them for the future. Teaching them how to explore and entertain themselves when they're bored. Help them gain skills to be independent and work hard at what they want. And it starts with loosening the leash and giving them a little more freedom. It's like what Clive previously told us. 'I don't know if being on my phone makes me unhappy,' the teen shared. 'But I'm 100 percent sure that when I'm really happy — like during the summer when I have things to do and I'm in my best place — I don't want to be on my phone.'

John Cena Got A Hair Transplant
John Cena is the latest celebrity to get candid about his cosmetic surgery procedures. In an Aug. 6 interview with People, the WWE champion opened up about his life-changing hair transplant and facing the pressures of aging in the spotlight. Last July, John announced that he's retiring from the ring in 2025, and explained that "age plays a factor." The 17-time WWE World champion wants to make room for young, new wrestlers. "I'm not as strong or as fast as I used to be. I made a promise when I started gaining some notoriety that when I'm a step slower, I will go, because there will be kids just as hungry as I was who have earned a shot to see if they can make it," he said. As his retirement from wrestling approaches, he's focusing on his health and 4-year marriage to Shay Shariatzadeh. "My health and my dedication to my partner are the tip of my spear in life right now, so I think every time I go out [in the ring], I just want to make sure I'm able to give my all, but it's time to step away," John continued. The Peacemaker actor said his "farewell" tour will serve as a closure for his fans, who he described as "the reason for my optimism, my perserveance, my passion." "They don't let you get away with phoning it in, because they'll eat you alive," he added, before opening up about a topic that he's addressed recently after bullying from fans: his hair loss, and whether or not he got a hair transplant. "As I was trying to hide my hair loss, the audience was bringing it to light," John said. "I saw their signs that said 'The bald John Cena,'" he said. "They pushed me into going to see what my options were. I now have a routine: red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner — and I also got a hair transplant last November." "I hate the fact that if there wasn't so much shame around it, I'd have gotten it done 10 years ago. I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 [men] suffer from thinning or baldness." The bullying doesn't work on John in the same way at this point in his career. He's actually "fired up" about the topic of his hair. "If somebody's going to sweat me for that, I don't think there's any shame in that," he said. "It completely changed the course of my life." "They don't do anything except move your hair, one by one, from one area to another," he added. The wrestling superstar has established himself as an actor with recurring roles in action movies like the Fast and Furious franchise, Heads of State (2025), or comedies like 2023's Vacation Friends 2 and Barbie. And John said his hair has given him more range to continue his acting. "A different hairstyle can identify a part that can get me more work, do the thing I love to do."
