A famous, aging Hollywood actor is seeking a partner who is young, attractive, and accomplished. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with helicopter travel and a practicing member of the Church of Scientology.
It’s not surprising to hear that Tom Cruise, 63, and his girlfriend, Ana de Armas, 37, have ended their nine-month relationship.
Like many of his relationships, Tom Cruise’s romance began with a lot of excitement but ended quickly. Reports suggest they broke up completely, with sources saying they realized they were better off as friends.
Thankfully, when working with Ana de Armas, Tom Cruise didn’t repeat his 2005 sofa-jumping incident. That’s when he famously declared his love for Katie Holmes on Oprah’s show, excitedly pounding the floor and startling her in the process.
Throughout most of this year, Cruise and de Armas were reportedly very close and a couple. Sources claimed de Armas was learning about Scientology from Cruise, who was acting as her guide in personal, professional, and spiritual matters.
Rumors even circulated that they were discussing marriage, which would have been Tom Cruise’s fourth wedding.
What led to the split? Rumors began circulating in February when they were spotted grabbing takeout in London’s Soho on Valentine’s Day. At the time, the story was that Tom was discussing a potential film project with her, which was actually true. She was officially confirmed as part of the cast of his movie, *Deeper*, in May.
Despite not attending each other’s public appearances, Cruise and she were frequently seen together, often arriving and departing in his helicopter at Battersea Heliport in London.
By May, it was clear they were a couple. He brought her as his date to David Beckham’s 50th birthday party at the Core restaurant, and witnesses say they were seen dancing and holding hands – they looked completely smitten with each other that night.
They were photographed walking through Hyde Park with her dogs, accompanied by Cruise’s security team, that month. This summer, they also attended an Oasis concert at Wembley and took a private jet trip to Spain.
Tom Cruise was reportedly very impressed with Ana de Armas, and sources said they were even looking at properties together near London last month. De Armas, who primarily lives in a secluded area of Vermont, was apparently thrilled with the attention from the famous actor.
It was clear Tom Cruise was also helping to advance Ana de Armas’s career. While she was already with the CAA agency, represented by Tracy Brennan and Josh Lieberman, she unexpectedly began being managed this summer by Bryan Lourd, the agency’s powerful CEO.
Sources said Cruise had asked Lourd to step in and make sure she was ‘prioritised’ at the agency.
Only a major celebrity could ask for something like that, and it’s easy to understand why people believed Tom Cruise was really interested in Ana de Armas.
And, let’s be in no doubt, she needed a bit of a Cruise boost.
Ana de Armas received an Oscar nomination for her performance as Marilyn Monroe in the film Blonde. However, her next two projects didn’t fare as well: the romantic comedy Ghosted on Apple TV+ and the thriller Eden both received negative reviews.
She went on to appear in *Ballerina*, a film connected to the *John Wick* series. Unfortunately, it didn’t do well, earning only £98 million globally in June. Following the disappointing results, Lionsgate terminated the employment of its two top marketing executives.
Ana de Armas hinted at the premiere of *Ballerina* that she was preparing for her next film, *Deeper*, which involves extensive diving training for both herself and Tom Cruise. *Deeper* follows a former astronaut’s deep-sea exploration of an uncharted ocean trench, where he encounters a mysterious, otherworldly presence. Like Cruise, de Armas prefers to perform her own stunts.
Things began to fall apart for the movie ‘Deeper’ in July when Warner Bros. decided the $260 million budget was too expensive. As a result, the project was suddenly cancelled just weeks before filming was scheduled to begin in August.
Honestly, as the movie started to really struggle, so did their relationship. It was heartbreaking to watch, and they haven’t been spotted together at all since they originally announced the film’s start date. It’s like the movie’s failure really took a toll on everything.
According to a source, Tom and Ana enjoyed their time together, but they’ve decided to end their romantic relationship. They plan to stay friends, but are no longer a couple, as they realized they weren’t compatible for the long term.
These feelings are very similar to those reported at the end of Tom Cruise’s last relationship, with his Mission: Impossible co-star, Hayley Atwell. The two had begun dating after meeting on the set of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One in 2020 and were even spotted together at Wimbledon.
The couple ended their relationship in September 2021. According to an insider, the demanding filming schedule brought them close, but as the movie wrapped up, they decided to remain friends. Tom’s busy work commitments and frequent travel made it difficult to continue the relationship, and it ultimately ran its course.
Rumors of them getting back together surfaced around the release of the second installment, but that reconciliation ended quickly. Considering the timing, some people suspected their relationship with Atwell was more for publicity than genuine affection.
The truth is, the situation with Atwell happened after a series of rumors about Tom Cruise being in relationships that turned out to be false.
Reports surfaced of several relationships for him, including alleged affairs with British actress Vanessa Kirby (known for her role as Princess Margaret in The Crown), though they had only briefly met and she was already dating Callum Turner. He was also linked to his assistant, Emily Thomas, who was in a relationship with someone else, and actress Sofia Boutella, who was rumored to have greatly attracted him, but was never his partner.
Everyone thought he was about to leave Scientology so he could marry actress Annabelle Wallis, but it turned out she was actually dating Chris Martin from Coldplay.
The actor’s series of seemingly unusual romances fueled rumors that he might be gay. However, those theories were debunked by several women, including singer Cher, who he briefly dated – they all confirm he is attracted to women. It appears he simply struggles to maintain long-term relationships.
Tom Cruise’s first wife was actress Mimi Rogers, who was six years older than him. Her father was a well-known figure in the Church of Scientology. They met at a party in 1985, married in 1987, and divorced in 1990, releasing a joint statement expressing how hard the decision had been.
Let’s be real, when Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers divorced, it wasn’t a sudden decision. It happened after he fell for Nicole Kidman while they were filming ‘Days of Thunder.’ I remember reading his interview with Vanity Fair years ago, and he described it perfectly – it was instant chemistry, a powerful attraction. He said he found Nicole incredibly sexy and beautiful, and that initial spark quickly blossomed into a deep love and respect. It just goes to show, sometimes connections happen when you least expect them!
After being publicly left for another woman, Rogers gave an interview where she claimed Tom Cruise had considered becoming a monk. She said he believed marriage didn’t align with his spiritual goals at the time, and that he felt he needed to abstain from sex to focus on his work. She jokingly added that she felt she needed some attention too. Rogers later took back those statements, but the idea that Cruise wasn’t very passionate stuck with people.
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise adopted two children, Bella and Connor, during their 11-year marriage. The marriage ended suddenly, reportedly with Cruise blindsiding Kidman by filing for divorce. This sparked a lot of rumors about Kidman having relationships with other people, and Cruise fueled the speculation by cryptically telling people to ask Kidman herself for the reason behind the split.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman took legal action and won a case against claims that their relationship wasn’t genuine during the filming of their 1999 movie, Eyes Wide Shut, directed by Stanley Kubrick. While they successfully defended their privacy, the film’s very long production – lasting around 15 months – appeared to negatively impact their marriage.
After his divorce, Tom Cruise faced public criticism because of his strong support for Scientology. He publicly criticized actress Brooke Shields for using antidepressants, and during the filming of ‘War of the Worlds,’ Scientology information booths were set up where the cast and crew could learn about the religion.
In 2004, it was reported that actress Nazanin Boniadi, also a member of the Church of Scientology, was considered as a potential girlfriend for Tom Cruise.
Leah Remini, a former member of the Church of Scientology who is critical of its practices, claims the church retaliated against actress Nazanin Boniadi after a romantic relationship ended by forcing her to scrub toilets with a toothbrush. The church has refuted these claims.
Katie Holmes, known for her role in the TV show Dawson’s Creek, later came into the spotlight through her connection with Tom Cruise. She met him to talk about potentially being in Mission Impossible III and was immediately impressed – she’d actually had his poster up in her bedroom as a teenager.
She grew up Catholic, but later took a deep dive into Scientology, a religion created in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Scientology teaches that people are actually descended from a group of aliens who were once exiled, known as Thetans.
Suri Cruise was born in April 2006, and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes married in a Scientology ceremony that November. The leader of the Church of Scientology, David Miscavige, served as Cruise’s best man. The lavish wedding, held at a castle in Italy, significantly improved Cruise’s public image after a period of negative attention.
The couple separated in 2012, and reports suggested Holmes didn’t want to raise their daughter within the Church of Scientology. She was also unhappy with her husband’s intense dedication to work and religion, which meant they rarely spent time together – he was often away, and she lived in a home with his sister’s family, along with his adopted children, Connor and Bella. Bella even briefly acted as Suri’s nanny.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly things can unravel when appearances are all that’s holding things together. Apparently, she was spending a staggering £80,000 a month on shopping and everyday expenses, but even that couldn’t maintain the illusion forever. A source close to the situation told me they simply couldn’t keep up the charade any longer – the truth was bound to come out.
It seems like everyone who’s worked with Tom Cruise agrees on one thing: he’s incredibly kind and positive. Being the focus of his attention can be a bit intense, but in a good way.
It’s still uncertain if he’ll ever find someone who will stick with him long-term.
