Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas continue to spark dating rumors with multiple public sightings

Rumors surrounding their relationship began in February, when the two stars were seen out together in London.

Since then, they have been spotted walking together on Ana's birthday and arriving in London via helicopter on March 14, accompanied by Doug Liman.



 

Most recently, Ana and Cruise were seen in a car together while leaving David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration in London on May 3 by the Daily Mail. 

A source recently confirmed to Us Weekly that “it’s low-key, still new and in the early stages” regarding their relationship. “Their romance is definitely on the down low.”

The source said the two met through Hollywood circles over the years and that Penelope Cruz “raved” about the Cuban-born actress.



 

“Penelope put in a good word for her both personally and professionally,” said the insider.

“They’ve gone out on some dates and it’s very low-key,” the source added. “It’s in the early stages and he’s been courting her.”

The insider continued, “He’s really into her,” noting the feeling is mutual, but Ana is being “more cautious.”

“She isn’t looking for anything to move too fast, she’s taking it really slow,” the source said.

The source also explained, “It’s very private,” and said they are “protecting themselves from the intense media scrutiny.”

Ana is hesitant because of her discomfort with public attention, which was also an issue in her previous relationship with Ben Affleck.
