Ana de Armas, 37, accidentally drops a big clue that she is romancing Tom Cruise, 62
Ballerina actress Ana de Armas, 37, has accidentally dropped a big clue that she is dating action movie icon Tom Cruise, 62.
The cute hint could be seen in her latest Instagram post.
The Cuban brunette beauty was wishing her adorable gray-and-white dog Salsita a happy 5th birthday when she added a telling photo.
Ana was sitting on a rug with her pooch in a living room with a kitchen behind her. She appeared to be at her sprawling $7M Vermont home.
And the clue stood out like a sore thumb. In the background was a bouquet of pink flowers.
Tom has a habit of sending fresh blossoms to pretty ladies. In 2006, he reportedly spent nearly $1,000 on flowers for Katie Holmes on Mother's Day. Holmes even mentioned in 2010 that Cruise would give her red roses frequently, according to People. In 2023 the Top Gun vet had a bouquet delivered to Shakira.
And de Armas even had one of the pink flowers tucked behind her ear as she smiled for the camera in perhaps a wink to her new companion.
'My beautiful girl, mi Salsita, happy 5th birthday! I love you so much!' wrote the ex-girlfriend of Ben Affleck as she did not mention Tom.
This post comes after they were seen together in London at pal David Beckham's birthday party with wife Victoria.
And last week Tom and Ana were seen flying into London together before her 37th birthday.
In exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Hollywood icon Cruise, who has been linked to Armas since Valentine's Day this year, looked giddy as he piloted a helicopter into the UK capital with the brunette actress by his side.
Armas - who was last known to be dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president - flashed a smile and her toned legs in a pair of mini shorts as she clutched her pet dog Elvis.
A pal helped walk another pooch on a leash.
Meanwhile Cruise flaunted his action-man credentials as he landed the chopper and showed off a buff frame in a tight T-shirt and jeans.
Cruise has been getting serious with Armas in recent weeks, the Daily Mail has learned, with one of his A-list exes even granting approval for the unlikely romance.
As for that A-list approval, it is understood Spanish actress Penelope Cruz - who dated the actor from 2001 to 2004 - is 'happy' that her ex-boyfriend has found new love.
Cruz, 51, and Armas have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie WASP Network.

'Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.'
'Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her,' the insider added. 'She was flipped out by the fans and stalkers when living in Venice Beach [Los Angeles] so she moved to a remote part of Vermont.'
In 2022, Armas dropped over $7 million for a sprawling six-bed home in the Green Mountain State.
'She loves being away from the crazy,' the source explained. 'She has been traveling with Tom to busy cities like London, but he always makes her feel safe because he is thoughtful and he has a ton of security. He never puts her at risk, she is completely taken care of when she is in his company.'
Friends believe the relationship could last, with our insider pointing to the fact that Armas does 'not like to party', preferring quiet nights at home like her decades-older boyfriend.
Though another source stressed that the pair are 'taking it day by day' and that Armas 'does not give her heart away easy.'
'Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding. Being affectionate with someone is not something that Ana would do for a role,' the second source added.
In November last year, Armas was linked to the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, with the pair stepping out for a loved-up stroll in Madrid the following month.

Despite receiving massive backlash over the relationship, the actress, who fled communist Cuba age 18, did not shy away from engaging in some PDA with him. However, the relationship appears to have ended as swiftly as it began - with Cruise soon emerging on the scene.
In February, the pair were first spotted enjoying a dinner together - again, in London - on Valentine's Day.
At the time a source claimed to the Daily Mail that they were not romantically involved. Indeed, the insider insisted that the evening out had been strictly business related.
'Everything with Tom and Ana is innocent. They are hanging out to talk about future movies that they could do together,' the source said.

The announcement follows more than five months of public voting and 2,164 individual ballots cast, and the partnership will run for the next three years. Nominations opened in October last year and the public were invited to nominate and vote via social media for local causes they felt deserved recognition and support.

From its office, affectionately known as The Heart, the charity distributes treatment support bags, runs wellbeing sessions, and offers a vital sense of solidarity to those facing diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. West Lothian Film Festival has attracted 306 films — an unprecedented increase from last year's 82 submissions. All submissions are currently in the hands of the 20 strong volunteer judging panel. Festival Director Christopher McPhillips said: 'Every nominated charity had something meaningful to offer West Lothian, and we're grateful to have celebrated them all over the past five months. With 747 votes, Breast Friends and Family clearly resonated with our community, representing compassion, strength, and unity. 'The people of West Lothian chose them as their charity of choice, and we're proud to use our platform to support and celebrate the incredible work they do. While it's been an honour to spotlight 30 brilliant organisations, we're equally proud to now walk alongside Breast Friends and Family as our official partner for the next three years.' As part of the three-year charity partnership, the festival has committed to: full marketing and promotional support, volunteer days from the festival team, and a dedicated Breast Friends and Family showcase day at each edition of the festival from 2026 to 2028. Hazel Orr of Breast Friends and Family said: 'We were delighted to be nominated. The 30 nominated charities are all worthy charities and community groups, so we knew we faced some strong competition. 'On first meeting Christopher, we realised that this could be a fantastic opportunity for Breast Friends and Family, with so many ways he could help promote our charity through the film festival as well as his business associates and connections. It made us think about how we connect with our followers through social media, through our own Facebook and Instagram platforms and how we could encourage our followers to like, vote and share posts. 'We grabbed the opportunity offered by the film festival and Condor Entertainment, to go along on one of their media days, to record an interview about how the charity came about and what it provides. "We loved sharing the finished result. And, we took advantage of the leaflets and posters provided by Artos Digital and Clear Colour, not just taking them to our events but sharing with work colleagues, neighbours, family and friends, at every opportunity. 'Thank you, Christopher, and the West Lothian Film Festival for this fabulous opportunity, thank you to the 2000+ people who voted and to those who voted for Breast Friends and Family. There's also an online fundraiser been set up by the film festival for Breast Friends and Family:

Kaleb Cooper suffers 'painful' injury as he shares health update from A&E
Kaleb Cooper, known for being Jeremy Clarkson's handyman on Diddly Squat farm, has experienced a new injury this week and has shared a new health update from hospital Kaleb Cooper has revealed that he has suffered a 'painful' injury as he shared an update from A&E on Wednesday. The Clarkson's Farm star , 26, took to Instagram to share that he had to go to the hospital for a scan after hurting his foot after playing a game of football on Tuesday evening. Kaleb said he was in a lot of pain as he shared a video of his swollen ankle as he hobbled around his farm before heading to hospital for an X-ray the next morning. He then took to his Instagram story to reassure fans that he would still be going to the Three Counties Show at the weekend. He said, "I may be hobbling around as I've fractured my ankle, but I'll still be at the 3 Counties Show on the Sunday. I'll be doing talks throughout the day, and Hawkestone Cider will be there. So, do pop along and say hello. I'll be there - don't you worry! I'm looking forward to it." The news comes just days after the fourth season of Clarkson's Farm dropped on Prime Video. A fifth series is already in the works, but Jeremy admitted that the show might go on a break after then The fomer Top Gear presenter told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest." Clarkson's Farm has proved to be a big hit since it first aired in 2021, with Kaleb soaring to fame as one of the main figures on the show. As a result, he recently embarked on a UK tour and has written a book. Whilst Kaleb was away on his live speaking tour, Jeremy was assisted by glamorous new farmhand Harriet Cowan. Clarkson then dismissed claims that Kaleb had been "replaced" on Clarkson's Farm. The 65-year-old presenter continued: "What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I'd be able to manage on my own. I didn't – I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. That is it – that's the story!" Ever since former Top Gear star Jeremy, decamped to Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, fans have been gripped by the trials and troubles the star has faced as he tried to earn a profit from his farm which is all documented in his hit series. He is aided by farm hand Kaleb, 26 - who often proves he is more informed on farming practices than his motor head boss.
