Ana de Armas Talks Family Plans Amid Tom Cruise Dating Buzz as Katie Holmes ‘Likes' Post About Them
Ana de Armas is opening up about her dreams of motherhood, revealing that she would like to have children 'soon if possible' amid her rumored romance with Tom Cruise. In a recent interview with Italian publication F Magazine, the actress said that she was hopeful that a family of her own would be in the cards. 'But it's not just up to me,' de Armas, 37, told the outlet, per Daily Mail. 'As we know, love is unpredictable; you never know when true love will arrive.' 'Relationships can't be controlled: life isn't a movie,' she added. 'Many men have told me I have puppy dog eyes. I give the impression of being a sweet and innocent creature, but then they're surprised, because deep down I'm a real tiger, and pure and wild passion governs my choices.' 'The important thing for me is that my life is never dull,' de Armas continued, hinting that she wants a partner who shares her enthusiasm and respects her dedication to work. 'I want to live every moment to the fullest.' It appears that de Armas is finding inspiration from Cruise, 63, in her career as she recently solidified her role as an action star while portraying Eve Macarro in the John Wick spinoff, Ballerina. 'In this film, the moment I enjoyed the most was when I had to fight against a flamethrower with a very powerful water jet,' she told the publication. While Cruise has built a reputation as one of Hollywood's most fearless actors – famously performing his own death-defying stunts – de Armas said she did intense training for Ballerina. 'I had to prepare myself physically, learning various martial arts, and also practicing with different types of weapons. I learned to fight with everything: nails, kicks in the right places, axes, knives, even ice skate blades,' the Eden star revealed. Cruise even raved about the film, promising fans that they wouldn't be disappointed. 'I saw the movie, which kicks a**,' he said on May 15 during a premiere for the latest installment in the Mission: Impossible saga. She also teased a potential collaboration with Cruise during her own interview that same month after he called her a 'force' in the acting biz. 'It's so much fun, and we're definitely working on a lot of things,' de Armas spilled while appearing on Good Morning America. 'Not just one, but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. I'm so excited.' Cruise and de Armas have been a hot topic after his ex-wife Katie Holmes 'liked' an Instagram post uploaded by The Daily Mail back in May that included several photos of the pair spending time together. (It's unclear when Holmes clicked 'like' on the post.) The Jerry Maguire star has been married three times: first to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, then to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and to Holmes, 46, from 2006 to 2012. Cruise has three kids, Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, with Kidman, 58, and 19-year-old Suri with the Dawson's Creek actress. As for de Armas, she was married to Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013. More recently, she was romantically linked to Ben Affleck although they called it quits after nearly one year of dating in January 2021. In May, a source told Us Weekly that Cruise and de Armas are enjoying a budding romance. (Cruise and de Armas have yet to clarify their relationship status.) According to the insider, they were 'low-key' and their connection was 'still new and in the early stages' after meeting through mutual friends, including Cruise's former flame Penélope Cruz. 'Penélope put in a good word for her both personally and professionally,' the source added. Solve the daily Crossword

Now a new book, edited by Wanaka-based film-maker Nick Stevenson, showcases the best of what New Zealand has to offer mountain-bikers. It's choc-full of stunning imagery taken from photographers with a real passion for the sport themselves. Nick joins Kathryn to talk about Eden: A portrait of mountain biking in Aotearoa New Zealand, and his own interest in biking.

The best Switch emulator just got even better, and there's more to come
Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR Nintendo Switch emulator Eden just dropped v0.0.3 release candidate. It brings performance improvements, plus key new features to make setup easier. The growing team also teased a few upcoming features, including EmuReady integration. Nintendo Switch emulation hit some big setbacks last year with Nintendo effectively shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx, but more recently things have really started to heat up. The Yuzu fork Eden is one of the most promising new Switch emulators on the scene, and an update dropped over the weekend with some huge improvements to what is likely the new best Switch emulator. Eden v0.0.3 has a wide variety of updates and new features, both to emulation performance and user experience. There are fixes for specific games like Echoes of Wisdom, Tears of the Kingdom, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, as well as more general improvements to the emulation engine. On Android specifically, the multiplayer frontend has been overhauled, making it easier to play games online. There's a new carousel view for your game library, as well as an improved settings menu and performance overlay. The update improves performance and accessibility across the board. For lower-end devices, there's a new .25X resolution option that should improve emulation performance. Compatibility with older devices in general has been improved, although you'll still need a certain amount of power to run demanding Switch games. For even bigger gains to performance, there's now a built-in driver fetcher, which will recommend a driver for your device, then download and install the latest version from its repository. Having the right driver can make or break Switch emulation, so this streamlined approach should reduce the amount of tinkering required for good performance. While this update is one of the most significant since Eden launched in May, the team also promised even more exciting features in the near future. For example, it will integrate directly with the EmuReady app, which hosts community-built compatibility reports. Once complete, you'll be able to launch games directly in Eden with optimal settings for performance on your device. That should make Switch emulation more accessible than ever. Speaking of the team, there are several new contributors to the project, including Sudachi developer Jarrod Norwell. The team was also sent test devices from AYANEO, which makes some of the best retro gaming handhelds on the market. That's great news for future compatibility, especially for devices with Qualcomm's new gaming handheld-focused G series chipsets. There are far more changes in v0.0.3, so check out the full patch notes for more information and download links. It's worth noting that this is a release candidate, so it may have a few bugs that need to be squashed before it becomes a stable release. Follow

Nuns' arrest in Chhattisgarh State-sponsored terrorism, says Hibi Eden
Terming the recent arrest of two Catholic nuns from Kerala in Chhattisgarh on charges of alleged religious conversion and human trafficking as an incident of State-sponsored terrorism, Ernakulam MP Hibi Eden said he would raise the matter in the Lok Sabha, along with the increasing number of attacks on members of minority communities in northern India. Uniformed forces like the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the respective Government Railway Police (GRP) are behaving like affiliates of the RSS, he alleged. Nuns and other members of minority communities are increasingly being denied the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution across the country. In this situation, the Lok Sabha must adjourn its sitting until the government makes a statement on the recent 'terror attack' targeting nuns—forcing them to hide their attire—and on the measures being taken to ensure the safety and security of religious minorities. Such incidents are a threat to the rule of law, he said. Sunday's arrest of the nuns raises serious questions about the safety and security of religious minorities in our country. Given the gravity of the situation and its potential implications for communal harmony and national security, it is imperative that the House discusses this matter at the earliest opportunity. The government's response to this incident, and the measures it proposes to prevent such events in the future, are of utmost importance, Mr. Eden added. Terming the arrest of the nuns as part of the 'Sangh Parivar agenda', the Kochi-based Archdiocesan Movement for Transparency (AMT) of the Syro Malabar Church said most Christians in northern India are living in fear of attacks. This is especially true in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. Nuns and others from the community have been doing voluntary service in such remote areas, where the government machinery has little presence, said Riju Kanjookaran, spokesperson of the movement. 'CBCI inaction' Sadly, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) is weak and unable to find solutions to such issues or initiate legal action. Their role ends with issuing a statement in the wake of such attacks. The CBCI has failed to initiate policy measures or bring international pressure to end such well-planned and coordinated attacks, he added.

Beloved Child Star, 71, Gushes Over Brother's 'Bold and the Beautiful' Role
Beloved Child Star, 71, Gushes Over Brother's 'Bold and the Beautiful' Role originally appeared on Parade. Ron Howard may be known for his roles on The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days, though he isn't the only working actor in his family. The beloved former child star opened up about his brother Clint Howard's acting success, including his memorable appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful. After Clint, 66, received a Daytime Emmy nomination for his role as Tom Starr on the soap opera, Ron, 71, spoke to People about his brother's accomplishment. "I know he did a good job because people come up and talk to me about his performance on that,' he said of Clint. 'And so I saw one episode, I thought he was great,' Ron continued. 'And it was one of those things where they brought him in for one episode and he wound up doing 10 or 12 of them." Ron was then asked if he ever gives Clint acting advice, though he said that he doesn't often need it once he's booked a gig. 'Oh, no, no. He's just fun," the Eden director said. "When I'm casting, I'm sure he gets notes, but when I'm watching him, I'm just enjoying my brother. He's a very individual talent. Has his own cadence and vibe." Clint's nomination came five days before Ron earned his own nod at the 2025 Emmy Awards for his guest starring role as a satirically temperamental version himself on The Studio.
