Ana De Armas Sets the Record Straight on Tom Cruise Romance Rumors

Caffeine’s running through my veins at warp speed because Ana de Armas has finally spilled the tea on her alleged Tom Cruise connection—and trust me, it’s juicier than my triple-shot espresso! At a recent press junket for her latest thriller, de Armas leaned into the mic and cleared up those persistent whispers that Hollywood’s golden boy, Tom Cruise, and she were secretly an item. She told People Magazine, “I absolutely adore him as an actor, but that romantic angle? Totally fabricated,” adding with a playful shrug that Cruise “isn’t even on my radar that way.”
Sources from ET Online confirm she laughed off the swirling gossip, explaining that they’ve never shared screen time or coffee breaks. According to insiders who chatted with Variety, the rumor mill spun out of control after de Armas complimented Cruise’s record-breaking Mission: Impossible stunts at a charity gala last year. Suddenly, clickbait headlines screamed about a star-studded romance, but Ana insists it was “pure admiration, nothing more.”
So how did this all start? Friendly banter at Vanity Fair’s awards after-party, per Hello! Magazine, where Ana praised Cruise’s legendary work ethic—someone snapped a photo mid-laugh, and boom: the “secret couple” saga was born. De Armas made it crystal clear she’s focused on upcoming projects like her action-packed heist film and not weekend getaways in cruise control.
She also addressed the persistent fan theories online—shout-out to Reddit detectives—saying, “I read some wild fan fiction! I mean, creative, but totally off-base.” She teased that her next role might involve a faux-romance script, and joked, “Maybe then people can stop asking about Tom!” Side note: who wouldn’t want a front-row seat when Ana’s delivering quips like that?
Industry watchers point out that Cruise is reportedly busy prepping for his next Mission installment, so a real-life romance timeline never aligned. Both stars stay hush-hush about their personal lives, but Ana’s approachable grin and candid delivery left zero wiggle room for tabloid fantasies.
What’s next? Keep an eye on de Armas’s upcoming red-carpet appearances—she promised to bring more blockbuster news (and maybe another zinger about the rumor mill). Will Tom ever make a cameo in her action flick? Only time will tell, but for now, Ana’s laid all the cards on the table: there’s admiration, respect, and zero romance—at least until the next press tour. I swear, I could gab about this all day.
