Fans’ eyes were wide open as they watched Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas out together in London.
The Mission: Impossible actor and Blade Runner 2049 actress were photographed walking in the Soho neighborhood, with her carrying what appeared to be a carryout bag from a restaurant. Both stopped to chat and take photos with fans, as seen in pics posted by the Daily Mail. According to People, the outing took place Feb. 13, a day before Valentine’s Day.
De Armas, 36, wore a black blazer, a matching top, blue jeans and gold ballet flats. Cruise, 62, sported a navy blazer, matching pants and a beige button-down shirt.
E! News has reached out to the actors’ reps for comment and has not heard back.
Neither star has spoken about their night out, the nature of their relationship or how they met, and they are not attached to any mutual acting projects.

De Armas had complimented the actor in a 2023 interview while speaking about pushing herself physically for her role in the movie Ghosted. The actress told USA Today that she’s “not at a Tom Cruise level yet.”
“But I can appreciate what he does 100 percent now, and I totally get why he does it,” she said. “He’s so mind-blowing.”
Cruise and de Armas’ outing comes months before the release of their latest films, both action flicks. The actor reprises his role of spy Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, the last of the hit spy series, which was filmed partially in London and is due to hit theaters May 23.
De Armas recently filmed the movie Ballerina, a John Wick spinoff, in which she plays an assassin. The film is set for release June 6.

Cruise and De Armas’ London outing also comes almost three months after the actress were photographed kissing Manuel Anido Cuesta, stepson of Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel, in Madrid. The Knives Out actress was previously linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis in 2023 and dated Ben Affleck from 2020 to 2021.
A year later, she noted that the attention she received over her romance with the Accountant star was “one of the reasons” why she left Los Angeles.
“Going through it [myself] confirmed my thoughts about, ‘This is not the place for me to be,’” she Ana told Elle in an interview published in July 2022, months before she bought a home in Vermont. “It became a little bit too much. There’s no escape. There’s no way out.”
The following September, she opened up more about her decision. “I feel like nowadays, we all want to go away from the craziness of the world,” de Armas told E! News’ Francesca Amiker at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept. 7. “We all want to have the chance to build your own safe space.”
