Tom Cruise and Ana De Armas to Attend David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Bash
Hollywood icon Tom Cruise, 62, is reportedly planning to take his rumoured girlfriend Ana De Armas to David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday bash on Friday night, according to the Daily Mail. The pair appeared to confirm their love affair is real as they flew into London together this week, just days before her 37th birthday.
In exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Tom, who has been linked to Ana, 36, since Valentine’s Day this year, looked giddy as he piloted a helicopter into the UK capital with the brunette actress by his side. And while they are in the UK, they are planning to make a VIP appearance at the Beckham party, which is being held at Michelin-star restaurant Core in London.
The Daily Mail reports that David’s big birthday bash is expected to be a huge affair with friends and family in attendance. A source told the publication: "Tom and Ana’s path crossed years back but they’ve grown closer in recent months. They are talking about working together on a new film and have been spending time together — both just the two of them, as well as with friends."
The source added: "Tom seems really keen to impress her and flew Ana to Madrid over the Easter weekend. They are having a lot of fun together." The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Ana and Tom for comment.
A Close Friendship with the Beckhams
Tom, who forged a close friendship with power couple David and Victoria in the early 2000s, made an appearance at Victoria’s milestone 50th birthday last year. The Daily Mail has learned that Tom will also be taking Ana to the 78th Cannes Film Festival in a fortnight, where 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 Ana will walk the red carpet with Tom. However, the pair’s relationship appears to be getting serious, with one of Tom’s A-list exes even granting approval for the unlikely romance. The Daily Mail reports that Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, who dated Tom from 2001 to 2004, is "happy" that her ex-boyfriend has found new love.
Approval from Penelope Cruz
An insider told the Daily Mail: "Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves. They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while." The insider added: "Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her. 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, Ana dropped over $7million for a sprawling six-bed home in the Green Mountain State. The source explained: "She loves being away from the crazy. 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."
A Relationship that’s "Taking it Day by Day"
Friends believe the relationship could last, with the insider pointing to the fact that Ana does "not like to party", preferring quiet nights at home like her decades-older boyfriend. However, another source stressed that the pair are "taking it day by day" and that Ana "does not give her heart away easy."
The Daily Mail reports that Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding, with the actress not shying away from being affectionate with Tom in public. In February, the pair were first spotted enjoying a dinner together in London on Valentine’s Day, sparking rumours of a romance.
A Previous Relationship
In November last year, Ana was linked to the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, with the pair stepping out for a loved-up stroll in Madrid the following month. Despite receiving massive backlash over the relationship, the actress did not shy away from engaging in some PDA with him. However, the relationship appears to have ended as swiftly as it began, with Tom soon emerging on the scene.
The Daily Mail’s exclusive photos of Tom and Ana’s helicopter trip to London have sparked widespread interest in the rumoured couple. With their appearance at David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash, the pair will undoubtedly be in the spotlight once again.
