Tom Cruise Flies Rumored Girlfriend Ana de Armas Ahead of Her Birthday
Getting action star Tom Cruise to double as your personal helicopter pilot isn’t exactly Mission Impossible for actress Ana de Armas.
One day before celebrating her 37th birthday, the actress enjoyed a ride high above the skies courtesy of her rumored boyfriend Cruise, 62.
In video obtained by TMZ, de Armas was spotted exiting a helicopter in London on Tuesday, April 29, with her two dogs. The Knives Out actress looked casual in shorts, a hoodie, sneakers and a pair of black sunglasses.
Moments later, it became clear that Cruise himself was the pilot, as he stepped out from the flyer’s seat in denim jeans, a classic black shirt and matching boots.

The sighting comes after the movie stars first sparked romance rumors in February, after Cruise and Armas were photographed in the Soho area of London after dinner. Both actors were all smiles over Valentine’s Day weekend as they carried takeout bags and posed for photos with excited fans before hopping into a car together.
The nature of their meeting was not publicly disclosed and Us Weekly reached out to their reps for comment at the time.
Fast-forward one month later and the pair got fans talking again when they were spotted arriving via helicopter at the London Heliport.
The pair appeared to be in good spirits and were seen chatting and laughing with Heliport staff. (Neither party has publicly commented on the status of their relationship.)
Ever since Cruise and Armas discovered success on the big screen, both parties have found their romantic lives being scrutinized by fans.
Cruise has been married three times — to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012. He shares adult children Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30, with Kidman, 57, and daughter Suri, 19, with Holmes, 46.
As for De Armas, she was previously linked to Ben Affleck, whom she dated from 2020 to early 2021 after meeting on the set of Deep Water.

In an interview with Elle in 2022, De Armas was asked what it was like to be in a relationship that was often gossiped about online and captured by photographers. She described it as a “horrible” experience and one of the reasons why she left Los Angeles.
“This is not the place for me to be,” she told the publication when describing parts of Southern California. “It became a little bit too much. There’s no escape. There’s no way out. It’s always the feeling of something that you don’t have, something missing. It’s a city that keeps you anxious.”
More recently, the actress was linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis and Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.
