The Mission: Impossible star and the Oscar-nominated actress first sparked dating rumors in February, when they were photographed during a night out in London.
When de Armas and Cruise were first spotted together, a source told PEOPLE that they were at dinner with their agents "discussing potential collaborations down the line" and noted at the time that the actors "appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends."
They were photographed together again several times over the following weeks, including as they left David Beckham's 50th birthday party in London on May 3 and on a park walk in the U.K. capital on de Armas' 37th birthday days earlier.
Over the summer, outings for the pair have included a trip aboard a yacht in Spain and, more recently, an Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium over the weekend.
Cruise and de Armas were spotted taking in the band's performance together in the background of English producer and DJ Goldie's Instagram video he shared from the show. Goldie, 59, also shared a selfie he took with Cruise from the concert.
In May, de Armas confirmed that she was working on multiple projects with Cruise — one of which has been confirmed to be the upcoming Doug Liman-directed supernatural ocean thriller Deeper.
The two actors "have a special work relationship," a source told PEOPLE earlier this month, adding that de Armas has "prepped" all summer for Deeper, their first project together.
"Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime," the insider said, adding in part, "Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him."

Cruise was previously married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, and is dad to three children: daughter Isabella, 32, and son Connor, 30, with Kidman, 58, as well as 19-year-old daughter Suri with Holmes, 46.
Meanwhile, de Armas was most recently linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. The Knives Out actress previously dated Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis.
Before that, de Armas was in a relationship with her Deep Water costar Ben Affleck from March 2020 until their "completely amicable" split in January 2021, as a source told PEOPLE at that time.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's vow renewal sparks more family drama
The Beckham rift has deepened as Nicola (30) and Brooklyn (26) renewed their vows in an intimate affair. The couple, who've been married for three years, held their renewal ceremony in New York City, surrounded by close friends – but the absence of the Beckham family suggests their feud is far from resolved. 'The event is about honouring the love and commitment they've built together over the years and creating a memory that will stay with them forever,' an insider said. The vow renewal came amid rumours that the couple have been distancing themselves from Brooklyn's parents, David (50) and Victoria Beckham (51), as they even skipped David's 50th birthday celebration in London in May. The rift has allegedly spread to Brooklyn's brothers, Cruz (20) and Romeo (22). Romeo appeared to snub his brother and sister-in-law with a new tattoo that fans believe pointedly excludes the couple. Romeo revealed his new tattoo on Instagram, the phrase ' C'est La Vie ', which means 'that's life'. The new tattoo came days after it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed the youngest Beckham boys on social media. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FINE LINE HEARTS CLUB ❤️ (@finelineheartsclub) Adding to the sibling tension, Romeo previously shared a clip from the movie Roman Holiday with the line, 'What the world needs is a return to sweetness and decency.' In May, Cruz shared a message on Instagram saying, 'It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth.' Harper (14), the youngest of the Beckham kids, hasn't spoken out about the feud but an insider previously revealed that she's still close with Brooklyn. PHOTO: Instagram/@nicolaannepeltzbeckham 'She loves both her brother and his wife very much and she's too young to be pulled into the drama,' the source said. While none of the Beckham family has publicly addressed the nature of their rift, insiders have long claimed it goes back to Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in April 2022.

Victoria Beckham',' the source said. Nicola reportedly left the reception in tears.

Paul Merton reveals big challenge of doing Have I Got News for You
Paul Merton is struggling to find "new things to say" on Have I Got News for You as the same topics are making top news stories. The 68-year-old comedian and the 65-year-old journalist Ian Hislop have been panellists on the BBC One comedy quiz show - which sees them and their celebrity teammate answer questions based on, and make light of, the week's top news stories - since 1990. But as they are repeatedly making jokes about subjects - including US President Donald Trump, 79 - that are constantly in the news cycle, Paul finds it tricky to produce new material. He told the new issue of Loaded magazine: "There are certain news stories that won't go away. COVID was one, Brexit was another, and of course, Donald Trump. "It's difficult to find new things to say, but if those are the major stories, you have to cover them." Paul says that the producers of the show do not mention the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia every week because people want to hear good news stories. He explained: "We sometimes cover Ukraine, but you don't want a war story every week, as I think the reason people tune in is to escape from the bad news stories. "We have to make sure we're not concentrating too much on the gloomy stuff." Paul said it was "special" that his teenage idols - the late comedians Peter Cook and Spike Milligan - appeared on Have I Got News for You in 1992 and 1995 respectively. He added: "I think when you meet someone whom you deeply admired when you were a teenager, it's something special when you meet them as an adult. "Spike Milligan and Peter Cook, for example. They would stand out as extraordinary people that you couldn't quite believe you were sharing a screen with." Paul adored the comedienne Victoria Wood - who died of oesophageal cancer at the age of 62 in 2016 - and he thinks she turned down an offer to do Have I Got News for You because she was not keen on the programme. He explained: "I was a huge fan of Victoria Wood, and it would have been lovely to have her on. "I think she was asked, but maybe it wasn't her thing? "I think most people we wanted to get on the show have been on it."

MasterChef makes controversial return as viewers say 'well, this is awkward'
The BBC One cooking contest has begun its 2025 series, featuring sacked hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace. What did you miss? MasterChef made its return to TV under a cloud of controversy on Wednesday night, as BBC One finally aired the 2025 series four months later than expected. Host Gregg Wallace had been accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour off camera by many female former contestants and production staff, whilst an investigation into the claims found his co-star John Torode had allegedly used a racist slur. Both presenters have since been axed from the show, but have hit back at the accusations. The latest series was already filming by the time the first claims about Wallace emerged in November 2024 and the competition was completed before the allegations about Torode, with the BBC announcing last month that it intended to air the series for the sake of the contestants. But as MasterChef 2025 made its debut, one viewer acknowledged: "Well, this is awkward." What, how and why? There was a mixed response to MasterChef's return to screens - the series had already filmed with Torode and Wallace as hosts, although there are rumours that Anna Haugh will replace Wallace in the final few episodes. Grace Dent hosted Celebrity MasterChef with Torode which has filmed and is set to air later in the year, but both Torode and Wallace have now been dropped from the franchise. It's been a controversy full of twists and turns, so it's no surprise that some viewers have struggled to keep up with who still stars in which series. One viewer was surprised to see Wallace on screen, writing: "What the heck is Gregg Wallace doing in the #MasterChefUK? Very bad decision, BBC." Someone else agreed: "Shame on the BBC and big up To the contestant's." The BBC has reported a drop in viewing figures, with 1.96m watching Wednesday's launch episode compared with last year's launch show, which had 2.73m viewers. However, there could be other factors affecting the viewing figures including launching at a different time of year. One viewer with mixed feelings commented: "So pleased for the contestants that masterchef is being shown on tv. To be clear, I stand behind @JohnTorode1 but was thoroughly expecting grace dent and not Gregg." Others called it "a shame" that the hosts who have been with MasterChef since 2005 would not be back, as one person posted: "Putting aside the controversy with Gregg Wallace & John Torode it feels a bloody shame they will not be presenting the show anymore." Another fan vowed to quit the show after this series: "Last Masterchef I'm watching to be honest, as no one can't do it like John and Greg. What a shame." Read more: Has MasterChef changed in its last series with John Torode and Gregg Wallace? MasterChef and five other shows that survived a major controversy Who is going to replace John Torode and Gregg Wallace on MasterChef? Someone else shrugged off the furore over the presenters, writing: "I only watch this, to see how the chefs do over the weeks, and see what they cook, that's all that matters." Another viewer agreed: "I'll still be watching as I have done every year. #MasterChefUK was never about John and Greg for me - it was always about the contestants and getting their names out there and I'm glad that they'll still get this opportunity. If you don't want to watch - that's your choice." One other viewer added: "It's back, only watching this, because the Amateur cooks, need to show what they can do. Not about the presenters." Another person weighed up whether to watch the series and wrote: "Hate the hosts but I love #Masterchefuk sooooo I'll have to grin and bear it." What have John Torode, Gregg Wallace and the BBC said about the MasterChef controversy? Both former MasterChef hosts have spoken out since the investigation into complaints about their behaviour. Wallace, who had previously claimed that the allegations against him had come from "a handful of middle class women of a certain age" – a remark he later apologised for, issued a statement after the report was published about his behaviour, which saw 45 out of 83 allegations made against him upheld. "For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait," he told PA. "None of the serious allegations against me were upheld. I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended." Meanwhile, Torode, who claimed he first learned he had been sacked by the BBC when it was reported by the media, said he had no recollection of the incident he was accused of: "Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of. The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong. "I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in last few days seem to have prevented that. "Over the past few months, I have been considering my life and the shape of it now and in the future. Celebrity MasterChef, which I recently filmed with Grace Dent along with two fantastic Christmas specials will be my last. Personally, I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else. For whoever takes over, love it as I have. "I will watch fondly from afar as I now focus on the many other exciting projects that I have been working towards. My tummy will be grateful for a rest after 20 years of eating, but what a joy it has been. Life is everchanging and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere. Thank you for the many years of MasterChef." In explaining their decision to go ahead with the series, the BBC said in a statement: "After careful consideration and consultation with the contestants, we have decided to broadcast the amateur series of MasterChef on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 6 August. "MasterChef is an amazing competition which is life-changing for the amateur chefs taking part. The focus of it has always been their skill and their journey. This has not been an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone will agree with it. "In showing the series, which was filmed last year, it in no way diminishes our view of the seriousness of the upheld findings against both presenters. We have been very clear on the standards of behaviour that we expect of those who work at the BBC or on shows made for the BBC. "However, we believe that broadcasting this series is the right thing to do for these cooks who have given so much to the process. We want them to be properly recognised and give the audience the choice to watch the series. "At this stage we have not taken a decision on the celebrity series and Christmas special, which was filmed earlier this year, and we will confirm our plans later in the year. "Most importantly MasterChef is a brilliant, much-loved programme which is bigger than any one individual. There are many talented, dedicated and hard-working people who make the show what it is. It will continue to flourish on the BBC and we look forward to it returning stronger than ever in the future." MasterChef continues on BBC One at 8pm on Thursday.
