Tom Cruise isn’t willing to jump on couches to declare his love anymore. The Mission:  Impossible star is much calmer and more secretive these days. That doesn’t mean he’s not dating anyone, though. Tom Cruise has been linked to Ana de Armas for months. While he’s never publicly confirmed the romance, he might have gotten as close as he ever will this week. The maybe-couple was spotted holding hands

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are seen holding hands

Fans who have been ‘shipping Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have their first photographic evidence that suggests the co-stars have taken their relationship to a romantic place. According to TMZ, Cruise and de Armas arrived in the tiny town of Woostock, Vermont, over the weekend and quickly let their guards down. Assuming papparazzi weren’t lurking in the town of just under 1,000 resident, the pair enjoyed their day while holding hands.

They were photographed strolling through town hand-in-hand, looking perfectly at ease. To keep the romance going, they apparently enjoyed several attractions in the area. According to the outlet, Cruise and de Armas were spotted checking out the national park, indulging in some ice cream, and doing some shopping. Before dropping in on Woodstock’s downtown district, they were seen in London enjoying an Oasis concert together. Despite the mild PDA, we assume they will still avoid Kiss Cams as often as possible.

How did the rumors get started?

Now that Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have officially been spotted holding hands, fans can finally say, “I knew it.” Rumors that the duo were together have been swirling since the beginning of the year. Romance rumors were first sparked in February 2025 when Cruise and de Armas were spotted having dinner together in London. While the pair looked comfortable together, there was nothing particularly cozy about the meeting, and an insider insisted to People that the meetup was purely professional.

That first meeting might have been easy to explain away, but since then, they’ve been spotted together several times. They arrived together via Helicopter during one spotting. In another friendly moment, they strolled close to each other in a park, and they were spotted leaving David Beckham’s birthday bash as a pair. They even looked cozy on vacation in Spain. All along, insiders have claimed the pair are just friends who make great collaborators, but the hand-holding incident certainly seems to confirm that love might actually be in the air.

Who has Tom Cruise dated since Katie Holmes?

Tom Cruise has been pretty hard to nail down in recent years. The A-lister, likely shy from his last big divorce, has been keeping his private life pretty private. Still, we’ve caught a few glimpses of his personal life. His current public hand-holding moment is the closest thing to a confirmed romance we’ve seen from the actor since Katie Holmes. Still, there have been rumors.

In 2013, Cruise was linked to Laura Prepon. Both Cruise and Prepon denied the romance. In 2017, fans linked him to Vanessa Kirby, though no concrete evidence ever emerged.
