EXCLUSIVE Tom Cruise, 63, and 'new love' Ana de Armas, 37, look smitten on yacht as insider dishes on romance
The Hollywood icon, 63, and the Blonde star, 37, who were first linked in February, looked smitten as they relaxed at sea in each other's company - with an insider dishing on romantic Cruise's generosity towards his new partner.
De Armas was seen placing a tender hand on Cruise's leg as they chatted, with the two Oscar nominees wearing matching fedora straw hats.
The No Time Do Die actress looked chic in a white lacy dress for her day with Cruise, who showed off his own buff frame in a white shirt and black shorts.

'The more they got to know each other, the bigger the gifts became. There has been jewelry like gold bracelets and designer clothing, things like that, things every girl would love.
'Probably the biggest gift he has given her is being able to go anywhere in the world at a moment's notice, not many people can do that. She loves to travel.'
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Cruise and de Armas for comment but has yet to hear back.
De Armas was last known to be dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba 's president with the pair photographed kissing during a night out in Madrid, Spain, in November 2024.
Meanwhile, Cruise was previously linked to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova who is the ex-wife of oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov and his Mission Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell.
Cruise and de Armas first sparked romance rumors on Valentine's Day, when they were spotted for what was reportedly a professional dinner in London.
The following month, they were pictured with cheeky smiles on both of their faces after their flight landed at the London Heliport.
They have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie Wasp Network.

The couple were seen chatting on the day
In April, the pair were spotted arriving together in London again to spend de Armas' 37th birthday together before fans spotted them on a romantic stroll through the park that same week.
In mid-May, an insider spoke about how Cruise is 'super smitten' with de Armas even though it is still early into their romance.
Cruise and dr Armas are co-starring in Doug Liman's supernatural thriller Deeper.
On GMA in May, the actress said: 'It's so much fun. We're definitely working on a lot of things. Not just one, but a few projects with [filmmakers] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.'
Cruise shares a daughter Suri, 19, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.
Katie and Tom began dating in April 2005 and after declarations of love they revealed they were expecting their first child in October the same year. They welcomed daughter Suri in April 2006.
They married in November the same year at the 15th-century castle Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano, in a Scientologist ceremony. David Miscavige, the head of Scientology, served as best man.
In June 2012, Katie filed for divorce and on July 9, the couple signed a divorce settlement worked out by their lawyers.
The acrimonious split saw Tom state that Katie divorced him in part to protect Suri from Scientology and that she is no longer a practicing member of the organisation.
Late last year, it was reported that Suri, 19, is now able to access the substantial trust fund set up by her famous father.
Holmes has since enjoyed romances with Jamie Foxx, chef Emilio Vitolo Jr and musician Bobby Wooten III.
Cruise was wed to Nicole Kidman from 1990-2001 and they adopted two children together, Bella, 32 and Connor, 30.
Kidman is now married to Keith Urban and the couple have two daughters.

I'm begging parents to STOP the crazy names after changing mine from Mickie Lettice… I was named after the cartoon mouse
A WOMAN has desperately begged parents to stop giving their children ridiculous names. Just days after YouTube and podcast star Trisha Paytas, 36, gave birth to her third child, a son she named Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon, a frustrated woman has shared a warning to mothers and revealed her 'crazy' moniker. 4 A woman has urged parents to stop giving children "crazy" names Credit: tiktok/@vainausten 4 Less than a week after Trisha Paytas, 36, hit the headlines for her son's unique name, Mickie Lettice clapped back at those who choose "ridiculous" monikers Credit: tiktok/@vainausten 4 Mickie revealed her new name, which left her mum fuming Credit: Getty The sound engineer admitted that she was named after a famous cartoon mouse, while her middle name was inspired by a vegetable - yes, you heard that correctly. Posting on social media, the drummer, who won't reveal her surname as it contains a swear word, confessed to legally changing her middle and last name. The music lover then shared her 'dead name', as she said: 'As someone who was named after Mickey Mouse, I want to talk about Trisha Paytas calling her new kid Aquaman and what effects that has on someone growing up, becoming an adult and having a f*****g mental name.' Mickie then confirmed: 'I legally changed my name - my middle and my surname - because my middle name, I was named after a vegetable, and my surname was a swear word.' Prior to sharing her full birth name, Mickie acknowledged that her mother was from a very working class background and was 'clambering' to be middle class. As a result, Mickie stressed that she and her siblings were given either old English names or Hollywood-esque monikers, as her mother hoped having 'crazy names' would help them to be successful and 'become famous.' While Mickie's older sister was named Buddie Mercedes, which Mickie believes is 'barbaric', her mother 'went feral' when it came to Mickie's moniker. This content creator's twin "got off lightly' and was named India Holly, but Mickie 'got the worst name by far' and was named Mickie Lettice. She explained that her first name was after the cartoon mouse, while her middle name, which is an old English name, was also inspired by the popular salad item, but with a slight twist on the spelling. Slamming her 'embarrassing' moniker, Mickie confirmed: 'My real name is Mickie, not Michaela, not Michelle, everyone always thinks that I've shortened it, no, no, I was named after the mouse.' Most popular baby names of 2024 Mickie explained that her mother believed the spelling of her 'mental' name was 'more feminine' than the 'Mickey' version and wasn't in any way related to family. The self-proclaimed 'working class Essex girl' then snapped at parents who choose unique monikers, as she fumed: 'You're naming children that will grow up to be adults that will have to say this s**t at jobs, at the doctor's surgery and all this s**t, so cringe.' Mickie admitted that she had a 'rough' time at school and was bullied for her name. It does hold you back massively, you're just asking to get bullied and asking for that kid to have a really s**t life in school Mickie Austen Rollins Then, after being 'so sick' of 'constantly explaining' her name to people, during the Coronavirus lockdown, when Mickie was in late twenties, she decided to change her middle name and surname, alongside her twin sister India. Mickie confirmed that she changed Lettice to Austen, after the novelist Jane Austen. She also altered her surname to Rollins, after Henry Rollins, an American singer who actually gave her permission to use the name. Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle? YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be? Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up. When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it. But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne. Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it. When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things - like Tracey and Stacey - which can be pretty annoying. Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year - there seems to be a few of us around my age - it's still a much rarer name than most of my friends have. On the whole I don't mind it, at least it's not rude or crazily spelt. And it means I can get away with 'doing a Cheryl' and just referring to myself as Josie. I'm getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I'm changing my surname, as it's not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I'm not that attached to Griffiths as I'd always just say 'hi it's Josie' when ringing a mate up. I think it's nice to be unique and I'll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids. It's the rude names you've got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I'll definitely be avoiding those. Now, Mickie Austen Rollins, who wished she'd also changed her first name to 'Eddie', then confessed that her mum was left fuming when she discovered her daughter had changed her name. Warning parents-to-be, Mickie concluded: 'It's always people that have really boring names that pick those names for their kids and no offence if you're called Emily or Sarah or Hannah, but you don't understand what you're doing - it does hold you back massively, you're just asking to get bullied and asking for that kid to have a really s**t life in school.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @vainausten , has clearly left many open-mouthed, as in just 14 hours, it has quickly racked up 556,400 views, 39,600 likes and 1,277 comments. Social media users were gobsmacked by Mickie's name, in particular her middle name. Mickie Lettice.. I'm so sorry that's not even fair TikTok user One user gasped: 'LETTICE!!!! WHAT! That's a mad name.' A second claimed: 'Lettice as a middle name is criminal.' Whilst someone else penned: 'Mickie Lettice.. I'm so sorry that's not even fair.' The struggle of choosing a baby name CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name... At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear. With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer! Meanwhile, others raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the unique names they have previously heard. One person said: 'I went to school with a Popeye.' Another added: 'I went to school with a kid called Se7en, with the number in the middle. Wonder if he's changed it yet.' A third commented: 'I knew a girl called Opium-Jade who called herself Sally for years.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

‘He put three men in hospital': Inside Hulk Hogan's bizarre, bruising Hollywood career
When Sylvester Stallone was making Rocky III, he need a monster villain to fight. He found one not in the world of boxing or even in Hollywood but in the wrestling ring. The 6ft 7in, 300lb Hulk Hogan. 'The Hulkster' – who has died at the age of 71 – was cast as Thunderlips ('the ultimate male'), a champion wrestler who fights Rocky in a boxer vs. wrestler exhibition match that turns to chaos. Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, would later say that Stallone was impressed by footage of him wrestling two men at once. Stallone should have known better when he insisted on doing his own stunts in the ring with Hogan. In the film, Rocky thinks it's all fake and is stunned when Thunderlips begins smashing him and throwing him around. In reality, Stallone quickly felt the power of what wrestling fans call 'Hulkamania'. Stallone later described how Hogan threw him into the corner of the ring and charged 'like an enraged bull'. Hulk jumped so high that his leg blasted Stallone in the chest, dropping the 'Italian Stallion' to the mat. 'I was afraid to look at my shoulder for about 10 minutes,' recalled Stallone. 'I said, 'Don't roll me over, don't move me' because I was sure there was bone protruding through my upper chest!' In the film, the fight spills into the crowd. According to Stallone, Hogan put three stuntmen in the hospital filming that scene. 'Hulk, if you're reading this,' wrote Stallone in 2017, 'it was a privilege to be mangled by such a gentleman.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sly Stallone (@officialslystallone) The Thunderlips cameo put a mainstream spotlight on Hulk Hogan, whose indefinable, force-of-nature charisma transformed wrestling. The WWF wrestling promotion (now WWE) became a zeitgeisty cultural phenomenon and, in time, a global powerhouse. And over the course of a 30-year career as an active wrestler, led him to sell more tickets than any top wrestling star in history. In the Eighties and Nineties, Hogan made further attempts to grapple with the film industry, pitching himself as a poor imitation of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop mode. Later, Hogan resorted to direct-to-video and TV movie dreck. But as daft and bizarre as his movies often were, he led the charge for other WWE stars who made the jump to movies: John Cena, Dave Bautista, and – of course – Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Rocky III Before landing the role of Thunderlips, Hogan wrestled for the WWF as a nasty villain – originally with his chest hair shaved into an atomic mushroom cloud. But he had a bust-up with Vince McMahon Sr, the company owner who didn't want him to do the film. So he left the wrestling promotion. The Hulkster bet on himself and won. 'I'm gonna make Rocky III the movie of the year,' Hogan boasted at the time. He wasn't far wrong – it was the fifth biggest box office hit of 1982. Hogan appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to promote the film and started spreading word about the latest fad in wrestling – 'Hulkamania' – to the masses. By the time Rocky III was released, Hogan was already the biggest ticket-selling attraction in the wrestling world. He returned to the WWF, now owned by McMahon's son, Vince McMahon Jr, and became the company's champion in 1984. Vince Jr had a vision to take the New York-based promotion national and obliterate rival wrestling promotions in the process, with Hogan as his marquee star. No Holds Barred For the next few years, Hogan did tremendous business at the wrestling box office, but he had designs on leg-dropping his way into Hollywood. McMahon was terrified of losing his moustachioed, 24-inch biceped golden goose and produced a movie himself for Hogan to star in: No Holds Barred. Hogan plays Rip Thomas, a champion wrestler who goes to war with an evil TV network boss, Brell (Kurt Fuller). Brell is jealous of Rip's monster TV ratings and enlists the monstrous, monobrowed Zeus (Tiny Lister) to fight him. Though barely remembered outside of wrestling circles, No Holds Barred is notorious among grapple fans. Not so bad it's good, but so bad it's absolutely abysmal. Writing in his memoir, largely a work of self-aggrandising fiction, Hogan recalled that he and McMahon were unhappy with the script so locked themselves in a hotel room for three days and rewrote it. They got writer's block over the climactic fight between Rip and Zeus, but the scene suddenly struck Hogan like a vision while he was sitting on the toilet. That could account for the film's most cited scene. Brell's henchmen attempt to kidnap Rip in a limousine but he bursts through the roof of a limo and snarls so menacingly that one henchman soils himself. 'What's that smell?' growls Rip. According to reports in the Wrestling Observer at the time, the film was screened for potential distributors but most walked out before the film even finished. New Line Cinema took it on for free but had to persuade cinemas to show the film by offering them a very generous deal on the next Nightmare on Elm Street sequel. McMahon and Hogan made various claims about the budget – between $7m and $11m – though the Wrestling Observer believed it was actually $1.5 million. No Holds Barred didn't do badly at the box office. Released in June 1989, it made $5m in its opening weekend and $16m in total. Critically, however, it resembled the contents of that poor henchman's undergarments. Gremlins 2 and Suburban Commando In 1990, the Hulkster had a fourth-wall breaking cameo in Gremlins 2, by far his best non-Rocky film appearance. Hogan sits in a cinema and is outraged to learn there are Gremlins in the projection booth. 'Do you think the gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster?' he says as he rips off his shirt, as he always did before his matches. New Line Cinema saw potential in Hogan as a movie star and produced Suburban Commando as a star vehicle for him. Co-starring Shelly Duvall and Christopher Lloyd, Suburban Commando was Hogan's first attempt at what might conceivably have been a mainstream hit. He plays Shep Ramsey, a heroic space warrior who crash lands in America and lives with a regular family. It's a spaceman version of Crocodile Dundee, with Hogan wandering around and not understanding earthling customs – which mostly amounts to falling off a skateboard, turning a car upside down, and flinging a cat in the air. Ahead of its release, Hogan was hit by the first of several scandals when Dr George Zahorian was indicted for supplying steroids to WWF wrestlers. Hogan's name was leaked as one of Zahorian's customers. It was a blow to his wholesome, all-American, family-friendly image, and it put a new perspective on his preachy catchphrase that told kids to 'train, say your prayers, and take your vitamins'. (Hogan was later embroiled in scandals over a sex tape and leaked audio of him using racist language.) The Suburban Commando release was pushed back and Hogan went on the Arsenio Hall talk show, which was his chance to admit to steroid use and beg for forgiveness. But Hogan denied using steroids – a blatant lie – and continued to lie on the film's publicity tour. As the years rolled on, Hogan became notorious for telling whoppers. New Line Cinema had committed to several films with Hogan – a move it may have regretted after counting up the Suburban Commando box office receipts. It was a flop, making just $8m from an $11m budget. Mr Nanny and beyond The next film was the 1993 Mr Nanny, which had potential as a Home Alone/Kindergarten Cop-esque comedy. He plays a wrestler who takes a job as a bodyguard for a tech boss but is terrorised by his new employer's prankster kids. The film was delayed after test screenings – never a good sign – and was another box office bomb. It failed to reach the top 10 and made just $4.2m. The indefinable, force-of-nature charisma that made him the biggest wrestling star ever didn't translate to movies. The Hulkster was – at best – a hokey actor. He found his level with a direct-to-video film, Thunder in Paradise, from the creators of Baywatch. He played an ex-Navy Seal who travels around exotic locations in a hi-tech boat, 'Thunder', and sorts out bad guys. It led to a 22-episode TV series – laughable Nineties twaddle that was aiming for something between Baywatch, Knightrider, and The A-Team. By this point, Hogan had gone to wrestle for the WWF's rival promotion, WCW (World Championship Wrestling), but maintained a side hustle in cheap, poor-quality films. In 1996, there was The Secret Agent Club, in which he plays a secret agent who steals a laser gun, and (a personal favourite) Santa with Muscles, in which the Hulkster is a mean-spirited millionaire bodybuilder who – through a series of contrivances – gets amnesia while wearing a Santa costume and ends up saving some orphans. More recently, Hogan hoped that his movie star dreams would play out in a long-rumoured biopic, set to star Chris Hemsworth as the Hulkster, with Todd Philips (The Joker) attached to direct. But the film never came to anything. Ultimately, his movie aspirations were overtaken by the likes of Cena, Bautista, and The Rock, who is tipped as a serious Oscar contender for his role in the upcoming drama The Smashing Machine. If he wins, Hulk Hogan should be the first person he thanks.

Rebel Wilson hits back at 'vile' second lawsuit filed by The Deb producers and goes rogue as she releases song from the movie: 'F*** my life'
Rebel Wilson has hit back at the second lawsuit filed against her by the producers of her directorial debut film The Deb, and released a song from the movie called F*** My Life. The lawsuit claims the Australian actor, 45, made false and derogatory statements about the producers, including accusations of engaging in 'inappropriate conduct' toward the film's star Charlotte MacInnes—who has since denied the allegations. Wilson shared a lengthy message to Instagram on Friday, calling the proceedings, which were filed by producers Vince Holden, Gregor Cameron and Amanda Ghost in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday, an act of 'spiteful toxic behaviour'. 'Apparently I'm being sued in Australia?' she began the scathing gallery of Stories. 'It makes no sense. As the director, producer and co-star who nurtured a project called The Deb for five years from a three-page idea into a gorgeous feature film—I wish nothing more than to have this film released and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get this to happen.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film!' she continued. 'In my opinion this is continued bullying and harassment from UK financiers of the project Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden. 'They tried to prevent the film from premiering there (they lost) and now they've tried to stop the film being released because of a baseless US lawsuit and now a further Australian one.' Wilson went on to say it was 'imperative the movie is released' and added it was 'sad' to see the hard work of 'so many Australians' who worked on the film go to waste. 'Contractually as financiers they have the power to sell or release/distribute the film. They haven't done so,' she wrote. 'It's been a year since the film has been completed and ready to go in cinemas. Instead, in my opinion they have continued this spiteful toxic behaviour.' Wilson then revealed the first song of the film is titled F*** My Life and she would be releasing it for her fans to listen to 'because if these f***wits aren't going to release the movie I may as well'. She also doubled down on previous accusations she made against Ghost, Cameron and Holden, which they have since denied and included in both their defamation lawsuits against the Pitch Perfect star. 'I've moved on, now directing my second movie and loving it. But regarding The Deb, all I can literally say is "F*** My Life" with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart,' Wilson continued. 'Everyone who worked on the movie and who knows me knows I put my blood, sweat and tears into this. Everyone knows I'm a "truth teller" when it comes to vile people in the industry. 'I just want this movie to come out and for all the amazingly talented contributors to be recognised for their sensational work! 'At least we had the Toronto premiere—and at least now you can all see the opening of the film. Posting it now! Rebs x.' Wilson then made good on her promise and proceeded to post the opening song of The Deb. Reports of the second lawsuit filed in Australia emerged on Thursday. Holden, Cameron and Ghost claimed Wilson falsely accused them of embezzling the film's funds and engaging in 'inappropriate conduct' with MacInnes, reported The Australian. Wilson is also being sued for defamation in the US courts by the three producers, who accused her of injurious falsehood, misleading and deceptive conduct and breaches of contract and director's duties. They also alleged Wilson threatened the Australian distributor of the film, Kismet, by seeking an injunction to block its release. Wilson has been very vocal about the conflicts surrounding her stalled film The Deb. The Bride Hard actress re-posted footage of MacInnes performing at Cannes, and wrote: 'Charlotte MacInnes in a culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht in Cannes—ironically singing a song from a movie that will never get released because of her... support for the people blocking the film's release.' In a second post, she added: 'So glad you got your record deal Charlotte at the expense of the 300 people who worked on The Deb and really wanna see it released.' In September 2024, MacInnes denied any inappropriate behaviour by the producers, prompting Wilson to allege that the actress withdrew her accusations to secure a new role with one of them. MacInnes told at the time: 'There is no truth to the allegations made involving me. 'I made a statement to the film team when this was first said in September 2023 and am saying this now to draw a line under it.' After working with one of the producers, Ghost, on The Deb, MacInnes was later cast as Daisy in Florence Welch's musical Gatsby: An American Myth, staged at Boston's A.R.T. during its pre-Broadway run. Wilson subsequently shared a screenshot of the Daily Mail article on her Instagram Stories and wrote: 'There is no world where this is acceptable. The fact that this girl has been employed now by this "producer" in the lead role of a production called GATSBY (ART Boston) and given a record label—should be all the proof you need as to why she has now changed her story.' In documents filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by The Guardian in November 2024, MacInnes claimed she informed Wilson she was never sexually harassed by Ghost. Despite MacInnes' claim she informed Wilson harassment had never occurred, the Hollywood actor still proceeded with the accusations of mistreatment. 'I was deeply disturbed by this behaviour by Wilson, who was the director of the film and in a position of authority over me,' MacInnes alleged. MacInnes added in her official statement: 'Nothing that I told Wilson could reasonably have conveyed that I was reporting any misconduct, because there was no misconduct. 'I also understand [there were] claims that I was subjected to "depraved sexual demands" and that "MacInnes remains captive by Ghost and (fellow producer) Cameron as she is shuttled from city to city with them including Boston, New York, and London".
