Inside Ana de Armas' $7M love nest in Vermont where she is romancing Tom Cruise
On Sunday they were seen holding hands as they walked through the town of Woodstock where they picked up ice cream cones.
The 63-year-old Top Gun actor had on a blue T-shirt and jeans with a cap as she was in a white T-shirt and dark jeans with her brunette hair in a ponytail as they seemed very into each other.
The 37-year-old Cuban-born actress quietly purchased the Vermont property in November 2022 after her whirlwind romance with Deep Water co-star Ben Affleck.
The Ballerina actress has been living in Vermont ever since with her two dogs Salsita and Elvis.
'Ana loves being at her home in Vermont because it's away from all the frenetic energy of Los Angeles and New York City, it's a place where she can really unwind from the stress of Hollywood,' an insider told Daily Mail. 'It's a solid sign that she is serious about Tom that she takes him to her tucked-away sanctuary because it means so much to her.'
Vermont is a state in the northeastern United States, known for its natural landscape, which is primarily forested. Part of the New England region, it's also known for being home to more than 100 19th-century covered wooden bridges.

The remote mansion offers six bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The generous 30-acre spot also boasts mountain views, open meadows, forests, trails and a swimming pool.
According to the listing, the home was sold fully furnished. It is not known if the Bond girl changed up the pieces.
De Armas had reportedly previously lived with her former boyfriend, Affleck, in his luxe $20 million home in LA's Pacific Palisades, after putting her own Venice Beach property on the market.
The pair were seen in Los Angeles together plenty during the pandemic lockdown, as they routinely walked their dogs.
She left LA because 'it became a little bit too much. There's no escape. There's no way out,' she has said in the past.
She also said Hollywood made her 'anxious' because in LA, there is 'always the feeling of something that you don't have, something missing.'
The couple, who had met on the set of Deep Water, broke up in January 2021.
De Armas went on to date Tinder VP Paul Boukadakis, while Affleck we d then divorced Jennifer Lopez.
The home has a fireplace and hardwood floors
After she split from Affleck in 2021 she retreated to New York before picking up her Vermont home in 2022.
The Cuban actress revealed to E! News last September that she relocated to Vermont to get away from it all.
'I feel like nowadays, we all want to go away from the craziness of the world,' she revealed in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival.
'We all want to have the chance to build your own safe space. I've made that decision myself,' she added. 'I found a home where I really feel off the grid. I can collect myself and only bring there who I want to be with.
'I have my little cocoon there,' she added.

Earlier this month it was reported that Cruise has been an 'incredible mentor' to de Armas.
The Oblivion actor and the brunette beauty have a 'special work relationship' and the actress has 'prepped' all summer for their first project together: a supernatural ocean thriller called Deeper.
A source told People: 'Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime.'
Tom and Ana have been romantically linked to each other since Valentine's Day.
The source shared: 'Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.'
Tom is still one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and he's never lost his passion for filmmaking.
The actor recently admitted that he's fulfilling a 'life-long dream' by working in the movie business.
He told Extra: 'It's such a privilege to do what I do. It's been a life-long dream of mine to be able to do this and to make movies... I truly, I love it. That is my, I don't know, it's not what I do, it's who I am. It is my honor to entertain.'
Tom is willing to put his body on the line in order to make the best movies possible.
The actor - who has suffered various injuries during his career, including a broken ankle while shooting 2018's Mission: Impossible - Fallout - explained: 'I fly aerobatic airplanes, I fly jets, I fly helicopters, and this took all of our ability and all of our skill to be able find the camera angles to tell this story.'
Tom needed to be in tip-top physical shape to shoot the Mission: Impossible movies, and he felt particularly proud of the action scenes in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
He said: 'Physically, what I had to do to prepare for this thing was quite extreme, and I can tell you this - whatever people see in the trailer or on TV, it is not even a taste of what they have in store for them when they see this film.'

Ana de Armas exudes glamour in a bejewelled gown as she takes part in a sake barrel ceremony at Ballerina event in Tokyo amid claims her love affair with Tom Cruise is 'doomed'
Ana de Armas was a vision of beauty as she attended a screening of her new film Ballerina at RoppongiHils Cinemas in Tokyo on Thursday. The actress, 37, has been travelling the world on her promo tour for the John Wick spin-off and was joined by director Len Wiseman and judo practitioner Natsumi Tsunoda at the screening. de Armas looked phenomenal as she arrived in a glittering black gown with a silver bodice and caped detailing that skimmed over her phenomenal figure. She later layered up in a judo jacket to take part in a traditional Kagami Biraki - cracking open a sake barrel with a wooden mallet. Ballerina sees de Armas portray an assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma - the largest subgroup of the Romani people in Russia and Belarus - who trained John Wick. de Armas is believed to have travelled solo to Japan as concerns have been raised over her relationship with Scientologist Tom Cruise. All eyes have been on 63-year-old Tom Cruise and his new 26-year younger love who've been spotted holding hands near her $7million home in Vermont. But according to those familiar with Cruise's past loves, de Armas, who grew up in a devout Catholic family, is facing a real-life Mission Impossible in embarking on a relationship with the world's most famous Scientologist. The Cuban-born actress, who has starred in a slew of films in both English and Spanish, survived a nearly yearlong Covid-era romance with Ben Affleck, with whom she shared a home in Venice before they split in early 2021. But taking up with one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, who is also high in the Church of Scientology, could prove daunting. Former Scientologists as well as longtime observers say that Cruise's women often start off starry-eyed and impressed with both the megastar and his 'church,' but there's almost always a point when they get in too deep and want out. 'Tom Cruise's love affairs are doomed,' Karen de la Carriere, who was one of the highest-ranking Scientologists and one of the few to be directly trained by founder L. Ron Hubbard who defected from the church in 2010, told the Daily Mail. 'There is a honeymoon period with a lot of generosity and dazzling moments, and then reality sets in.' That reality, according to de la Carriere, occurs when the girlfriends and wives of Cruise, who often begin by taking low-level Scientology courses and undergoing auditing, are eventually faced with some of the church's more outlandish, science fiction-like aspects. She later layered up in a judo jacket to take part in a traditional Kagami Biraki - cracking open a sake barrel with a wooden mallet (pictured with Len and Natsumi Tsunoda) Scientologists, as directed by Hubbard, believe that humans are immortal spiritual beings (Thetans) haunted by alien souls from a mass extermination 75 million years ago, and that they can be saved only by expensive spiritual cleansing. 'Scientology is very bait and switch,' de la Carriere told the Daily Mail. 'It starts off OK, especially when you're the girlfriend of a superstar like Tom Cruise. 'But then you get to the higher, confidential levels and you find out things like you have 400,000 spirits attached to you and you have to spend the next 30 to 40 years peeling them off. 'So suddenly the person is entering the world of the bizarre, and that's when the pullback occurs. Who wants to be told they have to start going to five sessions to exorcise those spirits? Nobody.' Cruise's first wife, Mimi Rogers, now 69, is the one who introduced Cruise to the controversial religion when they began dating in the mid-1980s – but she has since left the church herself. His second wife, Nicole Kidman, 58, dove headfirst into Scientology's courses and auditing and rapidly achieved the rank of OT2 thanks to Cruise's fame and importance in the church. But she reportedly soured on it so much after that point that she and Cruise both backed off from Scientology – and ultimately divorced after eleven years of marriage in 2001. Next came Penelope Cruz, 51. She and Cruz dated for three years and Cruz took Scientology courses 'which she found beneficial' although her rep says she was never a member of the church. His second wife, Nicole Kidman quickly advanced to OT2 in Scientology thanks to Cruise's influence, but grew disillusioned, leading her to distance herself from the church before their 2001 divorce Katie Holmes, 46, married Cruise in 2006 and was so gung-ho about the church at the start that she filed an official report against Leah Remini at the time of her splashy wedding to Tom in Italy because Remini had been vocal about Scientology leader David Miscavige's missing wife, Shelly. She also spoke publicly when she and Cruise were still dating about having started some Scientology courses and auditing. But Holmes had changed her tune by 2012 when she famously turned the tables on Cruise, filing for divorce and taking their then 6-year-old daughter Suri when Cruise was shooting a movie in Iceland. 'Katie would have seen (Cruise's adopted children) Isabella and Connor going through their interrogations and auditing,' journalist Tony Ortega, who has investigated Scientology for decades, told the Daily Mail. 'It's about the age of six when they start the courses, and that's about the age Suri was when Katie left Tom. 'Listen, I can't fault these women. They fall in love with the guy. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be part of your partner's lives. It's just that Scientology becomes too much to deal with.'

Country music star reveals devastating health scare that has put her shows in jeopardy
Country music star Ashley McBryde has revealed a devastating health scare that has now put her shows in jeopardy. The 42-year-old singer begins her residency in Nashville on October 14 - but it seems that she needs time to heal ahead of her performances. On August 6, the songwriter posted a video to her socials announcing - via written word on a notepad - that she has damaged her vocal cords. 'Hi guys so... I hurt my throat,' the first card read. 'So no talking if I want to be able to sing to you.' She then went on to write that it is a great opportunity to practice American Sign Language (ASL). McBryde signed out examples like 'Hi! Nice to meet you' and 'Good to see you!' 'That way we don't have to cancel meet and greets. Let's try together,' she wrote on the next card, and then flashed the ASL signals for 'Let's try together.' McBryde's vocal issues come at a time when she's preparing for her residency in Nashville Throughout the entirety of the video, someone else used an exaggerated voice to read McBryde's cards aloud. In the caption for the video, McBryde wrote: 'Trybe, doc says I'm working on busted up vocal cords. 'The last thing I wanna do is cancel any meet greets or Heaven forbid SHOWS. So let's try this for this week!' And though fans are disappointed that some of their meet and greets will be more of just 'meets,' they have shown support for the singer in her comments. 'Oh sweet Ashley. Take care of that voice. We all love it so!' one fan commented. Some even applauded the singer for remaining dedicated to continuing to see her fanbase. 'You could definitely cancel these due to the situation and you're not. That shows just how much you care!' another fan said. Other fans used humor to express their care. 'Can't sing but you can write. I expect a new album out of this debacle. Get well soon,' one fan wrote followed by a laughing emoji. The healing time for damaged vocal chords can vary greatly, depending on how bad the damage is. But typically injuries can resolve themselves within a week or two with measure like voice-rest - which McBryde seems dedicated to trying. So depending on how disciplined she - and her fans - remain with sticking to ASL, her vocal chords could be all healed up and ready for her residency ahead of time.

Horrified bride shares toe-curlingly awkward moment her mother-in-law ‘smashed cake in my face' at her wedding
GETTING married is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. But one woman was left horrified when her mother-in-law ruined the evening. 2 2 Sam took to social media to share the toe-curling moment that was captured on film. While she stood with her husband cutting the cake, the new bride cheekily decided to throw a small chunk of the icing into the crowd of wedding guests. All seemed fine until a woman in a black dress, came bolting towards Sam. It turned out to be her mother-in-law. Sam said she and her partner had decided not to do the viral cake-smashing trend, where the newlyweds squish cake into each other's faces. But apparently, her mother-in-law didn't agree with their rule. She managed to get hold of the icing Sam threw, and decided to walk up to her, hold her wrists and shove it into Sam's mouth. As she walked away from the camera, she could be heard saying: "There we go, let's set the tone." Sam claims her mother-in-law said it was a 'joke' but Sam wasn't so sure. "She said it was 'just a joke'… I'm still wiping off the tension," she captioned the post. Couple paid thousands of dollars and flew 14 hours for a wedding - until they realized they weren't invited Adding more context to the clip, Sam claimed: "Fast forward to the cake cutting, a chunk of frosting fell off, and I tossed it playfully into the crowd to my aunt (who caught it by the way, 10/10 hands). "My MIL walks up, grabs the frosting out of my aunt's hands, and shoves it into my face. "It was the first time we really saw this side of her. Both my husband and I were completely shocked and confused." The clip quickly went viral on Sam's TikTok account @ sgshlyxx with over 1.8 million views. People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. One person wrote: "Her face afterwards says it's not a joke." "Everything she did leading up to the wedding also hinted it wasn't a joke," Sam claimed. 7 Signs You have an Overbearing Mother-in-law An overbearing mother-in-law is someone who craves control and dominance, according to Choosing Therapy The experts put together 7 warning signs to look out for... She's Always Around "An overbearing mother-in-law may show up unannounced or invite herself to gatherings and activities," they said. She Doesn't Respect Your Boundaries "She may do this by outright denying your requests or more subtly, in a way that makes you feel bad or guilty," the experts said. "She may do things that she doesn't have the authority to do, such as snooping in your email." She's Judgmental "An overbearing mother-in-law will judge your every move and take every opportunity to criticise you," the experts explained. "Behaviours as simple as an eye roll or deep sigh can be taken as signs of her disapproval." She Insists That She's Always Right "A mother-in-law with this mentality will insist that she is always right and that you should follow her advice without question," they added. She Pressures You to Do What She Wants "You might find that your overbearing mother-in-law regularly uses the word 'should' when offering suggestions," the experts warned. 'I Do This Because I Care' "To justify her domineering and arrogant behaviour, a mother-in-law may explain that she acts in this way because she cares about you and your family," according to the experts. She Needs to Be the Centre of Attention "An overbearing mother-in-law may try to steal centre stage whenever possible," the experts said. "In conversation, she might disregard topics that aren't about her and steer the conversation back to herself." Another commented: "That really just happened? In front of my eyes? Just now? We all saw it? Ain't no way." "Your feelings are so valid. Who does that in front of everyone during a special occasion?!" penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Absolutely unbelievable. You have to draw those boundary lines right now." "Ohhh.. she does not like you,' claimed a fifth
