Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas love affair is CONFIRMED in intimate new photos as insiders spill on his big next step... with the approval of an A-list ex

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas confirmed their love affair is real as they flew into London together this week days before her 37th birthday.

Exclusive images obtained by the Daily Mail show Hollywood legend Tom Cruise, aged 62, arriving in London on a helicopter with his rumored girlfriend, Ana de Armas, by his side. The two seemed joyful as Cruise took on the role of the pilot for the trip.

Ana de Armas, who was previously linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba’s president, appeared happy, flashing a grin and showing off her fit legs in shorts while holding her pet dog. A friend accompanied them, assisting with another dog on a leash.

Armas donned a pair of shades and sports sneakers, appearing to go make-up free for the off-duty outing.

Meanwhile Top Gun star Cruise flaunted his action-man credentials as he landed the chopper and showed off a buff frame in a tight tee and jeans.

Recent reports reveal a growing bond between Cruise and Armas, with sources even mentioning that one of Cruise’s former famous partners has expressed support for their unexpected relationship.

It can also be revealed that Cruise will be taking the starlet to the 78th Cannes Film Festival in a fortnight. His new movie Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is slated for a star-studded premiere on May 14 at the Grand Théâtre Lumière.

It is not yet clear if Armas will walk the red carpet with Cruise.

As for that A-list approval, it is understood that another Spanish actress, namely Penelope Cruz – who dated the actor from 2001 to 2004 – is ‘happy’ that her ex-boyfriend has found new love.

Cruz, 51, and Armas have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie WASP Network.

‘Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves,’ an insider told the Daily Mail. ‘They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.’

‘Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her,’ the insider added. ‘She was flipped out by the fans and stalkers when living in Venice Beach [Los Angeles] so she moved to a remote part of Vermont.’

In 2022, Armas dropped over $7 million for a sprawling six-bed home in the Green Mountain State.

‘She loves being away from the crazy,’ the source explained.

‘She has been traveling with Tom to busy cities like London, but he always makes her feel safe because he is thoughtful and he has a ton of security. He never puts her at risk, she is completely taken care of when she is in his company.’

The insider thinks they will have a long relationship as Ana does ‘not like to party’ and prefers quiet nights at home just like Cruise. 

Meanwhile another source adds that the pair are ‘taking it day by day’ and that Ana ‘does not give her heart away easy.’

‘Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding.

‘Being affectionate with someone is not something that Ana would do for a role,’ the source adds.

Cruise and Armas were recently spotted together, when a fan claimed to bump into them in London.

After sharing a snap with the movie star, the fan told followers that he had seen Cruise with de Armas at a movie theater.

He penned: ‘What a dayyyyy! Watched the best movie of the year (6 sinnersmovie – the hype is real, go watch it!!

‘Walked out of the toilet to come face to face with @tomcruise and Ana de Armas!’ 

While de Armas made no mention of the outing, she liked Cruise’s post about his night out. 

He shared a solo snap with the Sinners movie poster, writing: ‘Congratulations Ryan [Coogler], Michael [B. Jordan], and to the entire cast and crew. Must see in a cinema and stay through the end credits!’ 

De Armas was previously linked to Cuesta in late November, with the pair stepping out for a loved-up stroll in Madrid the following month.

Despite receiving massive backlash over the relationship, the actress, who fled communist Cuba at age 18, did not shy away from engaging in some PDA with him. Before that she dated Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis.

Cruise and de Armas’ low-key outing comes after Cruise and de Armas were mobbed by fans during their Valentine’s evening out. 

At the time a source told DailyMail.com that they are not romantically involved. The insider insisted that the dates were strictly business as the actor was eyeing up Ana for future projects.

‘Everything with Tom and Ana is innocent. They are hanging out to talk about future movies that they could do together,’ the insider said.

‘One of those ideas is the Days of Thunder sequel that Tom wants to get off the ground. It is currently in its infancy.’

Both stars have big summer movies this year: Cruise’s upcoming Mission: Impossible movie hits theaters on May 23, and de Armas’ Ballerina, a continuation of the John Wick franchise, is in theaters June 6.

Cruise was last linked to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, who is the ex-wife of oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov, in December 2023, but the pair were said to have called it quits in February last year.
