Is Maverick making moves?
Ana de Armas has finally opened up about her relationship with co-star Tom Cruise amid speculation that the two are dating.
The 37-year-old actress, initially seen having dinner with the “Mission: Impossible” star in February, praised the actor during Thursday’s episode of “Good Morning America.”
Though de Armas appeared on the show to promote her upcoming film, “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,” she confirmed that she and Cruise were currently “working on a lot of things” together.
“We’re definitely working on a lot of things,” the “Knives Out” star mentioned after host Michael Strahan inquired if she and the “Cocktails” actor were collaborating.
“Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom,” de Armas added. “And I’m so excited.”
Director Liman previously worked with Cruise on 2014’s “Edge of Tomorrow” and 2017’s “American Made.” McQuarrie, who is both a director and screenwriter, has teamed up with Cruise for several movies in the blockbuster “Mission: Impossible” franchise.
More recently, Deadline reported that the “Top Gun” star and Liman were joining forces once again for an upcoming supernatural thriller titled “Deeper.”
As for the romance rumors linking de Armas and Cruise, they kicked off when the pair were spotted enjoying a night out in London’s Soho area together back in February.
At the time, an insider told People that the A-listers “appeared to have no romantic connection” and were “just friends.”
The source added that de Armas and Cruise went out to dinner to “discuss potential collaborations down the line” with their respective agents.
On Thursday, however, a source told Us Weekly that Cruise is “super smitten” and caught “feelings” for her. “They’ve gone out on some dates, and it’s very low-key. It’s in the early stages, and he’s been courting her,” the insider claimed.
Since February, the pair has been spotted together in London on several more occasions, including on de Armas’ 37th birthday on April 30.
They were also pictured arriving in London via helicopter on March 14, where they were reportedly joined by Liman shortly after.
Before de Armas’ “GMA” appearance, she and the “Jerry Maguire” actor were caught sneaking out of David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday bash at the Core restaurant in Notting Hill on May 3.
They climbed into a black Mercedes-Benz together, and while Cruise was seen bleary-eyed and smiling in the pictures, de Armas was spotted trying to hide from the cameras by ducking her head behind the car’s passenger seat.
Meanwhile, the “Blondie” star — who dated Ben Affleck from 2019 to 2021 — previously gushed over the “mind-blowing” Oscar-nominated actor during an interview with USA Today in 2023.
“I’m not at a Tom Cruise level yet,” she told the outlet during a discussion about performing her own stunts at the time. “But I can appreciate what he does 100% now, and I totally get why he does it.”
“He’s so mind-blowing,” de Armas added.
