Where Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise’s Relationship Stands Amid Dating Rumors

THE RUNDOWN

• Ana de Armas was last known to be dating Manuel Anida Cuesta.
• The actress has been seen frequently with Tom Cruise.
• A source states their connection is purely platonic.

Actress Ana de Armas is officially single following a relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba’s president, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. They were first spotted sharing a kiss in November 2024. By May 2025, it was rumored they had split, but the breakup was confirmed by a source speaking to People this week.

Amid her distance from Cuesta, rumors have followed de Armas as she preps for an upcoming film with actor Tom Cruise. The pair has been seen spending time together, leading to whispers of a romantic relationship. But the source indicated she and Cruise are simply working on the Doug Liman-directed thriller, Deeper. De Armas was also supposedly receiving advice from Cruise as she trained for her movie Ballerina, set in the John Wick universe. The movie is filled with stunts, which Cruise is famous for doing in his own films.

“Tom is crazy hardworking and she’s very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime,” said the insider. “Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.”

This week, Cruise and de Armas were photographed together again, enjoying some sunshine on a yacht near the island of Menorca, just off the coast of Spain.

The source emphasized that their connection is “not romantic.”

In February, a source told People something similar after they were seen having dinner together with their agents, during which they were supposedly “discussing potential collaborations down the line” and “appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.”

They have since been seen in London, after attending David Beckham’s 50th birthday party, and then again in early May taking a walk through the park on de Armas’s 37th birthday.

In June, the actress told Variety that Cruise’s support for Ballerina was “unbelievable” and “amazing.”

“It is very special that someone like him is supporting,” she shared. “It is really special in general to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”
