There’s soft-launching a relationship and then there is Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas, whose rumored relationship debuted in a slow trickle of grainy paparazzi photos over the course of six months before there was anything like confirmation.
Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37, are currently working together on a supernatural thriller film called Deeper, which is what they always claimed to be discussing when the first photographs of them together began to circulate publicly. However, as time went on and the photos kept coming, people became less convinced that their relationship was strictly platonic, especially as the photos seemed to become more intimate. It’s one thing to share a meal with a future coworker, it’s another to join your coworker on a romantic weekend getaway to Spain. So, if this is a friendship, it’s clearly a very special kind of friendship.
Coincidentally, the pair were first linked at around the same time that Deeper began making casting announcements, though we don’t know much about their pre-Deeper relationship, if such a thing existed. This could be an on-set romance, or they could just be getting an early start on the film’s publicity tour. Either way, there’s no shortage of content to dissect and discuss.
While it is still unclear how the two action stars first met, we can give you an otherwise fairly complete timeline of Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas’s rumored relationship. So, enjoy.
