Ana de Armas is keeping her fitness routine front and center, and it’s definitely showing. The 'Ballerina' actress turned heads this Thursday in Los Angeles after leaving a solo workout session, looking effortlessly chic and sculpted. The 37-year-old Cuban-American star was seen walking to a parked car, sporting an all-black gym ensemble that showcased her toned midriff.

Her look was the perfect blend of sporty and luxe, consisting of black leggings paired with a matching sports bra, white socks, sneakers, and her hair pulled into a relaxed low bun. Tucked under her arm was a $5,650 black Louis Vuitton bag, alongside a water bottle, proving once again that de Armas knows how to do off-duty style right.

The star hasn’t been seen with Tom Cruise in public since their joint trip to Woodstock, Vermont, back in July. The same getaway where the two were photographed holding hands and walking through the scenic town. That appearance followed a summer filled with multiple joint outings, including a boat day in Menorca, Spain, and a night out at an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium.

Although speculation about the nature of their relationship has circulated for months, some sources say their dynamic has been more friendly than romantic. “They came together and had a great night and clearly enjoy hanging out,” a guest from David Beckham’s 50th birthday party told Page Six. “But I couldn't say any more than that... I've no proof it's romantic.”

Others have suggested Cruise is “super smitten” with the Ballerina actress. One insider shared with Us Weekly that their connection is “low-key” and “still new and in the early stages,” noting they initially met in February for work-related talks. The duo is set to star in an upcoming supernatural ocean thriller titled 'Deeper.'

Aside from her Hollywood projects and rumored romance, Ana continues to commit herself to health and wellness, with a fitness regimen that blends intensity with mindfulness. She’s known for training hard when prepping for her physically demanding roles.

“I have to prepare for action films I’m doing with really intense physical work, training, and choreography. I do it from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and then I get a break,” she told Vogue UK. “On the weekends, I get to go to the shooting range and I practise shooting with firearms that I have to use in the film. I enjoy it very much,” she added.

De Armas also revealed her love for boxing in an interview with Who What Wear, saying, “It releases all of this energy and there is nothing boring about it. You don’t have to do the same thing every day because you don’t feel the same day every day, you know? I get a lot of joy from it, and it’s a great workout, trust me!”

Her approach to fitness isn’t just about looking good for the camera. Pilates, meditation, and recovery play a big role in her daily routine. “I do meditate,” she said in another Vogue feature. “When you start doing it and you’re consistent with it, you realise how much it helps with all the things that come up for you.”

And when it comes to food, Ana keeps things real. “I’m not very disciplined with diets,” she told People. “In general, I do whatever makes me happy in life, and food makes me quite happy!” Her favorite comfort food? A classic Cuban dish, rice and beans topped with a fried egg.

While she hasn’t been seen with Cruise recently, Ana was spotted earlier this month dancing to Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL” at a concert in Puerto Rico. The actress shared footage of the lively moment on social media.
