Tom Cruise splashes out on lavish gift for rumoured girlfriend Ana De Armas
Rumours that Tom Cruise and Ana De Armas are an item continue to fly as the Mission: Impossible star reportedly spent a huge amount just to get her to the airport.
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.'

Ex EastEnders actress has ‘breakdown' as she spots her ribs in picture after illness led to dramatic weight loss
Plus, what Melissa told The Sun about her unintentional weight loss last year 'I HATE IT' Ex EastEnders actress has 'breakdown' as she spots her ribs in picture after illness led to dramatic weight loss Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MELISSA Suffield has shared an emotional post on social media after she unintentionally lost weight because of an illness. Melissa, 32, was diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) after experiencing "horrible nausea" in 2023. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Melissa Suffield has opened up in a candid post Credit: Instagram 5 She has unintentionally lost weight due to SIBO Credit: Instagram 5 Melissa often promotes a positive body image Credit: Instagram Since battling SIBO, the former Lucy Beale star has shed weight unintentionally, with the results of this now visible. Sharing a snap from inside a fitting room, Melissa could be seen donning a bright green plunging dress. "I had a bit of a breakdown today," Melissa began her post. She said: "Today has been not a very good day. "I had a bit of a menty b in the changing rooms while I was filming some bits. "I'm sure light didn't help, but I could see my ribs visible in the middle of my chest," she explained, referring to her chest area visible because of the plunging neckline. Melissa added: "And I just totally lost it. Like, cartoon floods of tears, unable to catch breath, that sort of thing. "You can see it on my face, like I am seconds away from breaking the f*ck down. And that is indeed what then happened." Getting even more emotional, Melissa went on: "It's just such a visible reminder of how much SIBO has taken from me. How much else I've lost along with the weight. 'I HATE IT' "And that doesn't even begin to cover the mental/emotional impact. Former EastEnders star opens up about drastic weight loss after health battle and says she was healthier when she was bigger "The fact that we glorify weight loss so much much is weighing so heavy on me, especially when I look in the mirror and see this. I hate it. "I know there are people who would be overjoyed to see this, but when you lose the weight like this, trust me, it's not a nice feeling. There is no accomplishment. Just a reminder of everything you have lost. "And no matter how often I talk about it, I'm going through it alone. Nobody will ever truly understand, even if they're going through it themselves. "Nobody else will know what I'm thinking when my legs feel so heavy I can barely manage the stairs. Or how lonely it is when you're still awake at 3am because the nausea won't let you lay down." What is SIBO? SIBO is also known as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Melissa experiences nausea, reflux, constipation, and other symptoms like her hair falling out and suffering from dry skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition occurs "when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract." Melissa then spoke about how she often talks about body confidence and embracing change, but noted how "this feels different" because there is "nothing to embrace". ANGRY BECAUSE OF SIBO She added how the impact her long term illness has had on her body image is "wild" before saying her body is "broken". The former soap star then said how she has to be a mother, an attentive partner, a cleaner, a cook and everything else in between, but when she was in the changing room, it was just her. "But in that changing room, nobody else, I'm just me. There aren't any responsibilities or asks. "So she puts it all down and she breaks in half. "And then she dries her eyes, and she cracks on. Again," she said. Melissa then revealed the "two good things" to come out of the "breakdown". "I got angry," she penned, revealing the first "good thing". "Yet again, another renewed fire for talking about SIBO. For educating as many people as possible. For helping people understand the symptoms, for forcing healthcare professionals to sit up and listen, for changing the perception, and for advocating for treatment. "A fight I will always show up for, no matter what." She then revealed the second "good thing", saying: "I bought the dress anyway. Because I love the colour, the cut, and of course, the pockets. "I'm not going to let SIBO take anything else from me." 'THERE'S NO JOY' Last year, Melissa opened up about her unintentional weight loss exclusively to The Sun. "Obviously, I've lost quite a lot of weight this year," Melissa began, adding: "But absolutely none of that has been through choice. None of it. Like I'm back in my pre-pregnancy jeans." 'She added: "But there's no joy," noting: "I don't enjoy the fact that that's happened at all in the way that you know, that's like a goal for a lot of people. "A) It was never a goal for me. But B) this is the complete antithesis of whatever I've ever wanted with my body. "So that's been tricky for sure. And then also, just on top of that, like my skin and my hair has been like affected. "Now I'm dealing with feelings of, you know, not enjoying the way that I look, which is frustrating because I've done such a lot of work to get me to a place where." 5 Melissa has a mass following on social media and raises awareness of SIBO while promoting body confidence Credit: Instagram/@

Zoe Ball set for new TV gig with dad Johnny and son Woody Cook
Ball returned to BBC Radio 2 in May after stepping down from her breakfast show in December 2024. She also hosted TV special VE Day 80: A Celebration to Remember on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on May 8. Scott Mills (left) replaced Zoe Ball (right) on BBC Radio 2's breakfast show. (Image: James Manning/PA Wire) Now it appears Ball has landed another TV role. The 54-year-old could be set to star on a new factual series about maths, created by her father Johnny Ball, according The Sun. The new show would tell the story behind 'the history of maths' and is based on the first six chapters of his book - Wonders Beyond Numbers. Zoe and Johnny Ball would team up to host the show along with Zoe's son Woody Cook. A post shared by Zoe Ball (@zoetheball) Johnny Ball, speaking to The Sun, said: 'The material can be honed down to the essentials, so that anyone could present it in a light and transparent way. 'This is why I believe myself, Zoe and my grandson Woody could add all what each age group requires to make it a fascinating and revealing series.' A channel for this untitled show is yet to be decided, with Johnny hoping to convince TV bosses to commission the series, admitting having Zoe on board is a 'big pull'. Zoe and son Woody have appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox before, but this would be the first time three generations of Ball have appeared on air together. Zoe Ball announced she was quitting her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show role in December last year, and was eventually replaced early in 2025 by Scott Mills. She had been in the role for six years, but said it was time to step away so she could "focus on family". Ball, at the time, added: "It's been a privilege. I think the world of you listeners and I'm grateful to my bosses here for their support, especially this year." It came after a tough 2024 for the radio presenter who was forced to take time away from BBC Radio 2 after her mother, Julia, was "heartbreakingly" diagnosed with cancer before succumbing to the disease in April. RECOMMENDED READING: However, Ball returned to Radio 2 on May 3 with a brand new show. She now goes to air once a week from 1pm to 3pm on Saturdays, having replaced Mark Goodier's Pick Of The Pops, which has moved to Sundays. You can listen to Zoe Ball every Saturday from 1pm to 3pm on BBC Radio 2.
