The Hollywood couple, who were recently linked to engagement rumors, realized “the spark had gone” but plan to remain friends and continue working together on upcoming films.
Hollywood’s latest high-profile romance has reportedly come to an end. Superstar Tom Cruise and actress Ana de Armas have officially broken up after dating for just under nine months. The pair, who first sparked dating rumors in February, decided to part ways amicably, having concluded that they are “better off as friends.”
“The Couple Has Run Its Course”
Despite their whirlwind romance, a source close to the actors confirmed the split to The Sun, stating that the relationship simply reached its natural end.
“Tom and Ana had a good time together, but their time as a couple has run its course,” the insider shared. “They just realised they weren’t going to go the distance and are better off as mates.”
The news comes as a surprise to many fans, particularly since rumors of a potential engagement had recently begun swirling.
Working Relationship Will Continue
Crucially, the professional relationship between the two actors is set to continue. The source confirmed that the split has been handled maturely, and the breakup will not impact their professional commitments.
“She’s already been cast in his next film, so they’ll continue to work together,” the insider noted.
The pair were reportedly set to co-star in the supernatural thriller Deeper, which is currently on hold, and were also expected to reunite for another project titled Pressure.
A Whirlwind Public Romance
Tom and Ana’s relationship went public earlier this year after they were photographed holding hands during a cozy getaway in Vermont. Their romance was quickly dubbed a whirlwind, featuring glamorous public appearances that convinced fans they were serious.
These outings included romantic trips to Madrid and London, as well as high-profile events such as David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash and an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium.
