Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have made news after being sighted together in Vermont, sparking rumors that the two are secretly starting a new romance. The stars were caught holding hands while enjoying a relaxed day out that included shopping, a trip through a national park, and an ice cream stop. While neither Cruise nor de Armas have made any public statements, the photographs have sparked speculation among fans and journalists that the couple is easing into a romance. Cruise, 63, has mainly kept his personal life quiet since his high-profile divorce from Katie Holmes in 2012. Long-time onlookers have taken note of his apparent public expression of devotion for de Armas, 37. The two were previously spotted together in London in February, apparently following a meeting with their representatives. At the time, insiders said there was “no romantic link,” and described the dinner as a business catch-up.
This current appearance, however, indicates a possible change. While some fans have emphasized on their obvious connection, others have focused on the age difference between the actors. The 26-year age gap has sparked controversy online, with some defending the couple’s right to privacy and others criticizing the optics of such a pairing. Cruise, widely known for the Mission Impossible trilogy, and de Armas, who will feature in Ballerina, have both acquired a reputation for playing physically demanding parts and doing their own stunts.
