Tom Cruise, 62, breaks his silence about 'girlfriend' Ana de Armas, 37
has broken his silence about his new reported girlfriend Ana de Armas. On Sunday the 62-year-old movie star told Extra what he thought of the brunette bombshell who used to romance his friend Ben Affleck. 'Very talented, great dramatic actress, comedic, tremendous ability, learns quickly,' Cruise told the site. This comes after 37-year-old Ana told Good Morning America that she will be working with Cruise on several projects. One of the GMS hosts, Michael Strahan, brought up her connection to Cruise: 'You're working with another big star, Tom Cruise, on another project that will lead you to do more crazy stunts,' Strahan said after touting her Ballerina movie with Keanu Reeves. 'It's so much fun,' Ana replied. 'We're definitely working on a lot of things.' She added: 'It's not just one, but a few projects—with [directors] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom.' Flashing a big smile, she added, 'And I'm so excited.' Armas and Cruise have been getting serious in recent weeks, has learned, with one of his A-list exes even granting approval for the unlikely romance. It is understood Spanish actress Penelope Cruz - who dated Cruise 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. The timing for their new romance is perfect as he has a Mission: Impossible movie coming out as she is starring in Ballerina '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.

One of Tom Cruise's Ex-GFs Allegedly Ships Him With His Alleged New Lady Ana de Armas
2025 has been the year of unexpected celebrity romances. While we all know what's going on between new lovebirds Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus, another celebrity duo has everyone questioning everything. Earlier this year, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas sparked romance rumors after being seen on Valentine's Day, but they were quickly shut down after she was seen holding hands with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel. However, weeks have gone by, and Cruise and Armas keep helicoptering in together, and hanging out. Apparently, they're doing this so much so that one of Cruise's exes literally ships them. Insiders told DailyMail that Penelope Cruz, who dated Cruise from 2001 to 2004, is 'happy' for them. The pair met on the set of their film Vanilla Sky in 2000, but amicably split in 2004 after their busy schedules (and allegedly his ties to the Church of Scientology). However, they've remained pals to this day, and not only that, she's been pals with Armas since they co-starred in the 2019 movie WASP Network.

'They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.' So it seems Cruz is a big fan of the two dating! Now, De Armas was seen on Valentine's Day with Cruise in 2025, and in March 2025, Cruise and Armas arrived in London by helicopter. They were seen laughing with Heliport staff, both donning casual looks, and were spotted together at the same heliport on the night prior, per People. Since then, they've been pictured together on helicopter rides numerous times. Most recently, in photos obtained by DailyMail, they flew in together days before her 37th birthday. And it's rumored that they'll be going to the 78th Cannes Film Festival together! The insiders added, '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.' Now, it's unclear if they're dating, or if she's dating Cuesta. Because earlier this year, sources told People that the three of them, as well as their agents, all dined together in London, 'discussing potential collaborations down the line.' And they noted that de Armas and Cruise 'appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.' However, insiders claim it's something else entirely; and it's pretty clear Armas won't comment publicly on it. In a previous interview with Variety in 2022, she talked about how her public breakup with ex Ben Affleck made her want to be less vocal about her dating life. 'I'm just interested in my work. I want to be remembered for that,' she said. 'The other side, I'm not interested.'Best of SheKnows The Very Best Looks at the Met Gala of All Time 13 Things to Know About Beyoncé & Jay-Z's Oldest Daughter Blue Ivy Carter Heidi Klum, Amanda Seyfried, & More Celebrities Who Gracefully Handled Wardrobe Malfunctions
