Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been spending a lot of time together this year—on the ground and in the sky. Though Ana is believed to be dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, the frequent sightings have sparked whispers of something more than just professional chemistry.
In new photos published by PEOPLE on Monday, the 62- and 36-year-old actors were seen arriving in London on April 13, fresh off a helicopter ride from Madrid. Joining them? Ana’s dogs, Elvis and Salsa, making for a very adorable group landing. She looked casual and stylish in jeans, a white t-shirt, and a leather jacket, while Cruise wore a blue peacoat, gray pants, and a white polo.
It’s not their first time aboard Cruise’s chopper. On March 13, the duo arrived at London’s Battersea Heliport for the second day in a row, all smiles.
That came just weeks after they were seen dining together on Valentine’s Day. Naturally, the internet went into overdrive.
Still, just because they’re spending time together doesn’t mean there’s romance in the air. According to TMZ, Ana is in talks to star alongside Cruise in Doug Liman’s upcoming film Deeper.
And each time they’ve been seen together, sources have stressed it’s all business. “Everything with Tom and Ana is innocent,” one insider told the Daily Mail. "They’re hanging out to talk about future movies they could do together.”
One project Cruise is especially eager to revisit? Days of Thunder. The source added he’s been talking to Paramount about a possible sequel.
Cruise’s love for flying isn’t just for Ana. On March 9, he was photographed at London’s Battersea Heliport after a day of filming at Longcross Studios—this time joined by Mission: Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell, her partner Ned Kelly, their baby, and director Christopher McQuarrie.
So, while we could see Cruise and Ana on the big screen together soon, for now, it’s leather jackets, helicopter rides, and very cute dogs—not date nights.
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas's dating history
The Top Gun star has been one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors for years following his 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes, with whom he shares Suri Cruise. He was married to his first wife, the one and only Nicole Kidman, for 11 years, adopting Isabella Jane Cruise and Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise, before their divorce in 2001. A year ago, he was dating Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova.
Ana, meanwhile, dated Ben Affleck from 2020 to early 2021 after meeting on the set of Deep Water. She’s also dated Tinder exec Paul Boukadakis and was spotted with Manuel Anido as recently as last month, reuniting in Madrid, Spain.
