Just friends?
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas dating rumors have been circulating for months, but a new joint outing suggests that the two are indeed an item.
What started as seemingly casual trips to London for work — a source telling People that the two were “discussing potential collaborations” and nothing more — has turned into the two attending a party together and doing their best to hide from the paparazzi.
In photos published by the Daily Mail on May 3, Cruise and de Armas were photographed leaving David Beckham’s birthday soiree at Notting Hill’s Core restaurant in London — together. The outlet reported that Cruise arrived to the venue solo, but hopped into a waiting car with the actress, who did her best not to be photographed by the nearby paparazzi.
Cruise and de Armas used the cover of large black umbrellas to sneak out a door and into the vehicle. Once inside, de Armas appeared to fold herself in half in the backseat in an attempt to keep her face hidden from the ever-present camera lens. Meanwhile, Cruise was all smiles, even appearing to laugh at one point, as he made direct eye contact with the camera and photos were snapped away.
The outing comes just days after de Armas’ 37th birthday, which she spent with Cruise, according to People magazine. The two actors were seen walking together in London on April 30, just one day after they arrived in London together by way of a helicopter.
Neither Cruise nor de Armas have addressed the relationship speculation, which has clearly hit a fever pitch after their most recent outing.
