Tom Cruise splashes out on lavish gift for rumoured girlfriend Ana De Armas
While neither actor has spoken about their possible romance, they have been spotted together at David Beckham's lavish 50th birthday bash as well as enjoying a stroll in London.
And it seems the Top Gun star, 62, is determined to impress the Blonde actor, 37, by spending more than £4,000 to drop her at Heathrow Airport via his private helicopter so she could make her flight to New York City.
Ana was seen arriving at the airport in the helicopter, smiling as she walking through the airport donning a casual blue denim jeans and white t-shirt ensemble with a long tan coat.
The Sun reports that Cruise, who is currently promoting the latest Mission: Impossible film The Final Reckoning, spent £4,850 to charter the vehicle, and £3,812 for Ana to use the airport's VIP Windsor Suite.
An insider told the publication: 'Tom wants Ana to know she can have the best of the best and doesn't think twice about the bill.
'He's a total gent and just wants to do right by Ana. If that means splashing the cash then so be it.'
It's not the first time Ana and Tom have taken to the skies together, as last month the rumoured lovebirds were spotted enjoying a cosy helicopter ride at Farnborough Airport.
Accompanied by her two dogs, Ana was travelling with Tom from Madrid, and they both appeared to be in high spirits as they landed in London.
In March, the pair was snapped at London Heliport, having arrived back in London after using Tom's aircraft the day before.
The pair were reportedly accompanied by director Doug Liman on the outing, who also joined them in their April helicopter ride.
It's speculated that the pair could be set to collaborate, but the name of the project they are working on was not specified.
The month before, on Valentine's Day, the duo was snapped on a night out in Soho, London. Ana was seen holding takeaway bags, and the pair were seen hopping in a taxi together. More Trending
At the time, a source told People that the stars were dining with their agents and 'discussing potential collaborations down the line.' It was also noted that the pair 'appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.'
It comes as Tom made a rare comment about his ex Nicole Kidman, whom he was married to from 1990 until 2001, and starred alongside in Stanley Kubrick's thriller Eyes Wide Shut.
In an interview with the British Film Institute's (BFI) Sight and Sound magazine, Cruise said of making the film: 'I flew out to his (Kubrick's) house and I landed in his backyard. I read the script the day before and we spent the day taking about it. I knew all of his films.
'Then it was basically he and I getting to know each other. And when we were doing that, I suggested Nicole play the role (of Alice). Because obviously she's a great actress.'

I visited the UK's new National Fairground attraction – with rides rescued from a much-loved abandoned theme park
Plus, free activities for the school summer holidays RIDE ON I visited the UK's new National Fairground attraction – with rides rescued from a much-loved abandoned theme park Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPOTTING the vintage helter skelter taking pride of place outside the new National Fairground Museum at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth, my little boy could hardly wait to give it a go. We were among the first visitors to be wowed by the heritage rides and attractions at the museum's grand opening at the start of half term, after its relocation from Dingles in Devon over the winter. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 The new National Fairground Museum is located at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 Many of the attractions inside the museum have been relocated from the now abandoned Dingles in Devon Credit: Catherine Lofthouse Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here It's a feast for your eyes and ears the moment you arrive at the purpose-built venue, with fairground artwork adorning the walls, a model of Popeye riding a rocket suspended from the ceiling and a hall of mirrors to give everyone a grin. We were even greeted by a fairground organ playing classics and modern tunes. Once inside, you could take a turn on all the old rides, including a ghost train, bumper cars, merry-go-round, Shaw's Moonrocket and Edwards' Chariot Racer. We loved the old arcade machines that cost 2p or 10p a go. I will warn you that the old rides take no prisoners - the bumper cars certainly go far faster than any modern-day dodgem I've driven! It's not the first time we've visited Statfold - we even celebrated my youngest's fourth birthday there as he's a huge railway fan. The new fairground museum sits perfectly on a site that already offers steam trains, vintage vehicles, soft play, climbing wall, roller disco and crazy golf. Being easily accessible in the middle of the country makes this the perfect spot for visitors to experience all the fun of the fair and more besides. We've had loads of great family days out at Statfold and it's been brilliant to see how it's evolved since we first started visiting when we moved nearby in 2021. Brand new adults playground opens in central London The train-themed playground on your way in is a hint of what's to come inside, but once you've prised your kids off the wooden play equipment, they're sure to be impressed by the roundhouse entrance hall, complete with turntable and vintage vehicles galore. Beyond is a cafe and exhibition space, with a soft play and climbing wall off to one side and a courtyard leading to the train platforms at the back. There's a bouncy castle and slide for children under 150cm and garden games. You can board a light railway taking visitors to a nearby woodland and then on to the fairground museum and nearby retro roller disco or enjoy a ride in an old carriage pulled by a steam train. 7 Lots of fairground art features on the walls and there is a vintage helter skelter Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 At the fairground museum, you can buy tokens to pay for the rides Credit: Catherine Lofthouse We bought a whole-site ticket which covered entry into all the attractions and unlimited rides on the trains. At the fairground museum, we bought tokens to pay for the rides, with most being three tokens per ride. The smaller children's rides were two tokens each. If you buy a ticket just for the fairground museum, it costs £5 per person, which includes three tokens. Extra tokens cost £1 each, or there are bundles like 12 tokens for £10. Family tickets to Statfold for two adults and two children cost £57.50 on peak days. 7 A whole-site ticket covers entry into all the attractions and unlimited rides on the trains Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 There is also a family summer pass that costs £70 Credit: Catherine Lofthouse Extra tickets for the weekend roller disco or the climbing wall can be added on. There's also a family summer pass for £70, which covers unlimited visits from June until September. Not all the Dingles attractions have moved to the Midlands - some have gone to the Hollycombe Working Steam Museum in Hampshire. But with top theme park Drayton Manor and its Thomas Land area for train-mad tots only about 15 minutes away from Statfold, you could easily combine the two for a weekend full of funfair thrills and train rides galore. There is so much to get steamed up about at Statfold. We'll be rushing back there to ride the rails and enjoy all the fun of the fair in 2025. Free summer holiday activites You don't need to spend a penny to keep your kids entertained this summer... Museums - Some museums offer free entry to some exhibits, and also host events for kids. Parks - Head to your local park to enjoy the playgrounds, games areas, courts and splash pads. Some even have trails for kids to enjoy. Beach - It doesn't have to be sunny to enjoy the beach, you can go rock pooling, crabbing, make sandcastles, or enjoy a walk along the headland. Library - If the weather is awful, head indoors and borrow books, audiobooks, dvds. Cooking - Have your own mini bake-off, or Come Dine With Me challenge. Playdates - Invite friends over for an afternoon of socialising. Boardgames - Enjoy a little sibling rivalry with rounds of Monopoly or stretch your brain with Scrabble. The Sun's Cyann Fielding also recently headed to the new UK indoor playground where children are banned – it was like being back in primary school. Plus, an iconic UK theme park which suddenly closed as an attraction has been 'saved' – but is being forced to relocate across Britain.

Darius Danesh's ex-wife speaks out after tragic death and undiagnosed condition
Former Pop Idol contestant Darius Campbell Danesh died suddenly at the age of 41 in August 2022 Darius Campbell Danesh' ex-wife has paid tribute to the late singer on the third anniversary of his death. The former Pop Idol contestant died suddenly at the age of 41 in August 2022 after inhaling chloroethane - also known as ethyl chloride - at his Minnesota apartment. Three years on from the tragedy, 50-year-old Canadian actress Natasha Henstridge - who filed for divorce from the Colourblind hitmaker in 2013, after just over two years of marriage - has admitted she still misses him dearly. Alongside a series of pictures of Darius, including one of the couple posing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, she penned on Instagram on August 11: "Love and light always. Miss you today…. Sending love to the Danesh's and everyone whose life he touched." According to his girlfriend, Darius had been "living with a broken neck" and an undiagnosed heart condition when he died. Lauren Cheek explained that an autopsy revealed that his heart was "twice the size" it should have been and that she believes he used the recreational anaesthetic to alleviate the pain. She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Darius was living with this heart condition that he didn't know he had. So many things could have taken him, but this one thing did, and he died in his sleep. "His mum told me they only found out after they did the autopsy. His heart was twice the size it was supposed to be, which was fitting, because that is genuinely how he was — he had so much love. "The autopsy also found he was living with a broken neck, but he refused to get help or complain about it. I think he used (chloroethane) because he was in so much pain and he didn't want to take pills, not even aspirin. That's what killed him — the substance mixed with his heart and he couldn't take it." Lauren went on to add that Darius - who shot to fame when he gave a memorable rendition of Britney Spears ' hit '...Baby One More Time' on the ITV talent show Popstars before releasing a string of hit singles and eventually going on to star in the West End - had sustained his injuries whilst racing with Hollywood actor Gerard Butler and always "refused" when she urged him to see a doctor. She added: "He was with Gerry (Butler) in Monaco for the Grand Prix and they slammed into a wall during a race with the Prince of Monaco. I don't think it ever fully healed and then he rebroke it because he got hit by a car in London a year or two before he died when he was riding a bike. "And then he got into a car accident with his dad in Scotland. D was in the passenger seat, his dad was driving and someone drove into them. "He was always in pain and I would beg him to see the doctor, but he refused. He was trying to find a natural remedy.'

But Katie has now insisted that she's a "bloody good mum" to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all. The TV personality said on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast: "There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her. Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. "I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. "I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. "All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. "And my mom and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. "And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much." Katie said she believes that she and Pete needs to come to hash things out to make life easier for their two kids - Princess and Junior, 20. "It's so not fair to bring princess piggy in the middle. So I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it," Katie said. Princess Andre snubs mum Katie Price from intimate dinner as she reveals her birthday party guestlist "Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. "I just think life would be a better place. "Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. "For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. "Do you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families." Katie's suggestion of a meet-up comes after the star admitted she's feeling left out of certain parts of her children's life. She continued: "Like, I've missed out so much with Princess. "I haven't watched the show, but, people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they Princess does talk highly of me all the way through it so although I'm not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet but why wouldn't she because she lives with me and this is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids. "I am a bloody good mum. People can even see that with Harvey. "Like, I am a good mum and it's so much easier, I have found out, when you have a child on your own without the other half involved because I've never had a problem with Harvey. "It's just been me, the family, and Harvey. And I hate it that when people split up, it always gets messy and the kids shouldn't be used." Katie concluded: "But I am absolutely proud of of Princess. Me and Princess are so, so close. "We've never ever ever had an argument till this day, and we still text and ring each other every day." It was previously reported that there was a big fall out after Katie wasn't allowed to go to Princess' 18th birthday party, hosted by her ex, and her daughter's dad, Peter. In part one of the fourth episode of The Princess Diaries, Princess was asked by her famous father who she wanted at her party - and it appeared to not include Katie. Princess turned 18 back in June, and at the time Katie claimed she wasn't invited because she had been banned from appearing in The Princess Diaries. Speaking on her The Katie Price Show podcast at the time, she said: "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. "Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me." Her sister Sophie chipped in: "You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why." Katie then said: "It's pathetic. I'm her mother. "I'm just saying, Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming.'" Sophie added: "Oh of course it was! I wonder what restaurant did that for free." Continuing the rant, Katie said: "The fact is there's stuff my daughter is doing and I'm not allowed to be seen at any of it." The Sun revealed how the documentary has caused a huge rift between Princess and her famous mum. Katie previously vented about those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show. She even vowed not to watch her daughter's reality show, after feeling left out of such an important thing in Princess' life. Earlier this week, Katie shared a cryptic message saying "your mum is not your enemy". Sharing a quote on her Instagram stories, Katie urged that as a mum she is "not trying to control" but instead "trying to protect" The quote also acknowledged how she "may not be perfect" but is "the only woman in this world" who wants the best for her children.
