The two actors were spotted dining together the night before Valentine’s Day in 2025. This prompted suspicion that their meeting was about more than upcoming film projects. Insiders allege the two actors have a romantic connection. And Cruise allegedly really likes de Armas for one specific “personality quirk” that his exes also possessed. </p>

<p id=”par-2_73″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ana-de-armas-net-worth.html/”>Ana de Armas’ star power has risen</a> over the years. Born in communist Cuba, she headed to Madrid at 18 years old and became a celebrity thanks to her role in a TV series. She then moved to Los Angeles in 2014, where she found success. She’s starred in films like <em>Blade Runner 2049</em> and<em> <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ana-de-armas-relates-knives-out-character-marta-terrible-liar.html/”>Knives Out</a>.</em> De Armas has also been romantically linked to big names in the industry, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/how-did-ana-de-armas-and-ben-affleck-meet.html/”>like Ben Affleck</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-3_76″>In February 2025, rumors swirled that Tom Cruise hoped to pursue a romance with de Armas. While rumors in late 2024 linked de Armas to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez of Cuba, her relationship status remains unclear. An insider told <a href=”https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/33445925/ana-de-armas-a-list-celebrities-showbiz-tom-cruise/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sun</a> that Cruise “wants to do a movie” with de Armas because “she’s successfully worked with almost every one of his rivals just over the last five or six years.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_60″>Additionally, de Armas has a “personality quirk” that Cruise loves. “And Ana also has that personality quirk, similar to Tom’s exes Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, where she doesn’t give a flying f*** what people say about her or think about her,” the source alleged. They added that de Armas has a “mischievous charm” and “always lets you in on the joke.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_53″>The insider added that de Armas’ “easygoing personality” and “incredible ability to work with these middle-aged, A-list leading men” helps her greatly. “You can legitimately call her The Leading Man Whisperer because she connects so well with these men, and some of them are 20 years older than she is,” the source continued.</p>

<p id=”par-6_31″>It’s unclear what Ana de Armas wants out of her working relationship with Tom Cruise. However, an insider told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/ana-de-armas-is-allowing-herself-to-be-wooed-by-tom-cruise/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a> that Cruise hopes to “impress” the fellow actor. </p>
<p id=”par-7_41″>“They are spending a lot of time together, and Tom is going out of his way to impress Ana,” the source alleged. “Tom’s obviously sweet on her, [but he’s also been] pushing the idea of them working together. He thinks she’s extremely talented.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_21″>The insider noted that de Armas “is allowing herself to be wooed by Tom,” as his “star power” attracts her. </p>
<p id=”par-9_15″>“Anyone who sees them together would have to admit they’d have great chemistry onscreen,” the source continued.</p>

<p id=”par-10_68″>Celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti told <a href=”https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tom-cruise-ana-de-armas-spark-romance-rumors-shared-drive-could-create-strong-match-expert” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Fox News Digital</a> that Tom Cruise is showing he’s romantically interested in Ana de Armas despite the sources claiming the two keep it strictly professional. Conti told the outlet that Cruise has kept “a low profile” since his public split from Katie Holmes. However, he likely views a relationship with de Armas as a “big comeback” in the world of “celebrity power couples.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_65″>“The fact that he was seen publicly with Ana is a huge deal,” Conti explained. “My celebrity clients know exactly how to keep their love lives under wraps if that is their desire. So, this is a clear indicator that he is feeling secure about the potential of this romance, though sources are saying that it is merely because they are in a film together.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_14″>Conti added that Cruise and de Armas appear “incredibly compatible” as a couple. </p>
