London — Rumours of a budding romance between Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have resurfaced following a surprise arrival in London just ahead of the actress’s 37th birthday.
On 29 April, the pair were spotted disembarking a helicopter at the London Heliport, with Cruise himself at the controls. The unexpected touchdown has reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Cruise Pilots Ana into the Capital
TMZ obtained exclusive footage of the scene, showing de Armas casually stepping out of the chopper alongside her two dogs. Dressed down in shorts, a hoodie, sunglasses and trainers, she appeared at ease and cheerful.
Moments later, Cruise exited the aircraft in jeans, a fitted black shirt and boots, confidently confirming he had piloted the journey himself.
Neither Cruise nor de Armas has publicly addressed their relationship status. However, this latest sighting adds fuel to ongoing rumours, especially following their Valentine’s Day appearance in London earlier this year.
Back in February, the duo were seen in Soho, carrying takeaway bags and sharing smiles with passersby after a low-key dinner. That outing triggered similar speculation, though no official confirmation ever followed.

A History of High-Profile Relationships
Cruise, now 62, is no stranger to high-profile romances. He has been married three times—to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes—and has three children from those marriages.
De Armas, 37, rose to fame in films such as Knives Out and Blonde. She was previously linked to actor Ben Affleck and has also been associated with Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis and Manuel Anido Cuesta.
Public Appearances Fuel Ongoing Buzz
This latest helicopter arrival marks another chapter in what fans are calling an “unconfirmed but obvious” connection. Whether friends or something more, the two actors certainly aren’t hiding their time together.
With neither party addressing the gossip, public intrigue continues to grow. For now, their joint London visit—especially timed around Ana’s birthday—has only intensified the spotlight.
Whether it’s a deepening friendship or the start of something romantic, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas continue to keep the public guessing. Until either speaks out, fans and tabloids alike will be watching their next move closely.
Tom Cruise: A Timeline of High-Profile Relationships
Tom Cruise, one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, has had several well-documented relationships and marriages throughout his career. His romantic life has long captivated the public and media alike.
1. Mimi Rogers (1987–1990)
Cruise’s first marriage was to actress Mimi Rogers. The pair tied the knot in 1987, just as Cruise was ascending to global stardom. Rogers is often credited with introducing Cruise to Scientology. The marriage ended in 1990, citing irreconcilable differences.
2. Nicole Kidman (1990–2001)
One of Hollywood’s most famous couples of the 1990s, Cruise married Nicole Kidman shortly after his divorce from Rogers. They met on the set of Days of Thunder and adopted two children during their marriage: Isabella and Connor. Their split in 2001 shocked fans and reportedly stemmed from growing personal differences and career trajectories.
3. Penélope Cruz (2001–2004)
Following his divorce from Kidman, Cruise began dating Spanish actress Penélope Cruz, whom he met while filming Vanilla Sky. Their relationship lasted around three years but ended amicably, reportedly due to busy schedules and conflicting commitments.
4. Katie Holmes (2005–2012)
Cruise’s most talked-about relationship came in the mid-2000s when he began dating actress Katie Holmes. Their relationship quickly went public, famously marked by Cruise’s exuberant interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005, where he jumped on the couch declaring his love.
They married in a lavish ceremony in Italy in 2006 and welcomed a daughter, Suri Cruise, the same year. However, Holmes filed for divorce in 2012, allegedly due to concerns around Cruise’s involvement in Scientology and its impact on their child.
Post-Holmes
Since his split from Holmes, Cruise has kept his dating life largely private. Although linked occasionally to co-stars or acquaintances, none of those rumours have been substantiated—until now, with speculation surrounding Ana de Armas.
Ana de Armas: A Rising Star with High-Profile Romances
Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas has emerged as one of Hollywood’s brightest talents in recent years. Alongside her acting success, her relationships have also drawn media attention.
1. Marc Clotet (2011–2013)
De Armas was briefly married to Spanish actor Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013. The couple split after two years, reportedly due to long-distance challenges and their respective career paths.
2. Franklin Latt (2015–2016)
She was then linked to Hollywood agent Franklin Latt, though the relationship remained relatively low-profile and ended quietly after a short period.
3. Ben Affleck (2019–2021)
Her most public relationship to date was with actor Ben Affleck, whom she met while filming the psychological thriller Deep Water. The two were frequently photographed together during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Los Angeles.
Their relationship, often described as passionate and intense, ended in early 2021. Reports suggested the split was due to differing priorities and lifestyles, with de Armas wanting a more settled life, while Affleck remained closely tied to Los Angeles for his children.
4. Paul Boukadakis (2021–?)
Post-Affleck, Ana was reportedly dating Paul Boukadakis, a tech executive and Vice President at Tinder. Although not officially confirmed by de Armas, the relationship was reported to be serious, with some sources suggesting he introduced her to his family.
Why Their Romantic History Matters Now
The renewed attention on Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas stems not only from their celebrity status but also from their past love lives, which have consistently been in the spotlight. Their previous relationships reflect a pattern of high-profile partnerships, often complicated by fame, privacy concerns, and public scrutiny.
As sightings of the two continue—most recently the helicopter trip into London—the intrigue around whether Cruise and de Armas are simply close friends or something more continues to build.
