Katie Holmes stirs online buzz with subtle nod to Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas’ romance
Before it disappeared, Katie Holmes' apparent "like" on an Instagram post about her ex, Tom Cruise’s new relationship with Ana de Armas, sent fans into a frenzy.
The post, originally shared by the Daily Mail, detailed Cruise and de Armas confirming their romance and also mentioned Penelope Cruz’s reported approval of the relationship.
Holmes’ “like” was quickly noticed by eagle-eyed users online.
One commented directly under the post, “Did anyone else notice that Katie Holmes liked this post?”
Another chimed in with, "Katie Holmes liked this post 😱."
Reactions also poured in on the portal’s website, with many speculating on Holmes’ possible intentions.
“She’s glad to get him off her case,” one reader wrote.
"YAY!! He's someone else's problem!!" another said.
A third joked, "Argh. We’ve all been there. A friend sends you something and says ‘don’t like it’ and you accidentally do! Lol poor Katie."
Despite the attention, Holmes, 45, has not publicly commented on the incident, and her team has not issued a statement. Representatives for Cruise and de Armas have also declined to respond.
Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37, were first romantically linked earlier this year after being spotted during what was described as a business dinner in London. By April, the two were seen celebrating de Armas' birthday at London’s upscale KOL restaurant.
In May, an insider claimed Cruise was "super smitten" with the actress, adding that while things were still early, the relationship was becoming more serious.
A look back at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ whirlwind romance and split
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise began dating in 2005 and welcomed their daughter, Suri, in April 2006. They were married that November in an elaborate Scientology ceremony at a 15-century Italian castle, with Scientology leader David Miscavige serving as best man.
In June 2012, Holmes filed for divorce, which was finalized the following month. Cruise later stated that part of Holmes’ decision to leave stemmed from wanting to protect Suri from Scientology.
He had also agreed to pay $400,000 annually in child support to Holmes until Suri’s 18th birthday, which has now passed.
Since parting ways with Cruise, Holmes has been in several public relationships, including with Jamie Foxx, chef Emilio Vitolo Jr, and musician Bobby Wooten III. Cruise, meanwhile, has largely kept his personal life private, making the recent public displays with de Armas even more noteworthy to fans.
