Crisis for Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas? Friends say that Hollywood's most kept secret has created an intimate dead end in love

He is the most eligible Hollywood single and largest movie star. It is a Cuban brown beauty and a relatively small actress 25 years her junior.

What started as an improbable pairing for Tom Cruise, 62, and Ana de Armas, 37, has since become a global romance, but it seems that the couple is already confronted with obstacles only a few months in their flowering relationship.

The main obstacle? Their opposite beliefs.

It is a secret that is not so well kept in Tinseltown that A -Lister Cruise – whose curriculum vitae includes the successful franchises Top Gun and Mission: impossible – has reached the highest ranks of the Church of Scientology, and continues to be an active member of the controversial organization.

From Armas, on the other hand, has been raised in a Catholic family devoted to the house in Cuba, learning Christian values ​​that she keeps to date.

That said, an intimate dinner date on Valentine's Day this year, a throw between London and Madrid, and even just escaping swarms from Paparazzi outside David Beckham's 50th anniversary on Saturday, the couple is clearly willing to give their budding romance a chance.

Tom, 62, would have taken Ana to Madrid for her birthday, before touching London before David Beckham's 50th anniversary

The exit marked the last of a series of public appearances for the rumor couple, which has been linked since February 2025

But, if they continue to sweep the problem of religion under the carpet, it will only be a matter of time before his friends and family decide to intervene, according to sources.

“Ana is seduced by Tom, but his friends are torn apart, and his family also has concerns,” said an initiate in the Daily Mail, before emphasizing: “His scientological beliefs are not a break for Ana. She knows that her family would not approve, but she is her own wife.

Before she made herself as Bond's daughter, the 37-year-old actress was desperate to leave the Breeze-Block apartments of her family in a street dressed in rubble in Cuba.

His mother, also appointed Ana, worked in human resources while her father, Ramon, had various jobs as bank director, teacher, director of the school and deputy mayor of a city.

As a teenager, De Armas fled the humble apartment in the city of Santa Cruz del Norte distillery – an hour's drive east of the capital, Havana – to follow his seemingly impossible dream to escape the economy suffering from Cuba through the theater.

De Armas signed up for the Teatro Escuela Nacional, the National Theater School, in 2002, when she was only 14 years old. But she resigned before completing the course after having won her first role as an actor in a Spanish television series, El Interado.

Leaving Cuba and moving to Madrid at the age of 18, she lived with her Spanish grandparents.

However, the sources indicate exclusively to the Daily Mail that the family and the friends of Ana have concerns “concerning their relationship – in particular Tom's link with the Church of Scientology

“ My grandparents were Spanish, so I had a double passport-it was the only way I had to go out '', she recalls Vanity in 2016.

She finally made her debut to me in a 2006 Spanish film, Una Rosa de Francia, before doing the successful crossover in Hollywood with a tour in films like Knock Knock in 2015 and Blade Runner 2049 in 2017.

However, the 2019 Whodunnit film knives marked its role as an escape, finally opening the door to a multitude of tubes at the box office, especially no time to die and blond – the latter earned him an nomination for the best actress for her representation of Marilyn Monroe.

Such an impressive curriculum vitae has surely triggered a feeling of pride for her otherly humble family at home in Cuba.

She remains close to her loved ones today; His mother still lives in Cuba while his father died in early 2020.

De Armas also has a brother artist, Javier, who now lives in New York.

Despite her laundry list of ex undoubtedly much more controversial (she has received massive reactions for her recent relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the head of Cuba), Cruise and his unconventional beliefs would have left Armas concerned about her family's concern.

“Ana was raised in a Catholic church devout in Cuba and his family is a religious,” continued the source. “She knows that her family would not accept Tom because of her beliefs. Ana and Tom discussed it.

After sharing a Valentine's Day meal together earlier this year, their relationship has evolved quickly.

In April, Cruise took her to Madrid.

Last weekend, they were spotted by landing the Cruise helicopter at a London airport in exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail.

The couple danced later at night outside the 50th starry birthday from Beckham to the Notting Hill restaurant on Saturday evening.

Although the couple made an effort to hide their relationship, with a solo cruise, they were seen to leave the place together in the early hours bordered by umbrellas before establishing themselves behind the car seats when they were seated together at the back of a vehicle.

“They spend so much time together and Tom has feelings for her. It is the type of Tom '', added our source.

They seem ready to spend even more time together later this month, the Daily Mail previously revealing Cruise's plans to take the starlet as the date at the 78th Cannes Festival.

His new Mission film: Impossible – The Final Recking is planned for a first on May 14 at the Grand Tea Lumière, but it is not yet clear if they walk the red carpet together.

The couple was back in April, attacking a brief getaway to the old house of Ana in Madrid, Spain,

Ana and Tom did their best to hide when they were seen by leaving David Beckham's 50th anniversary on Saturday evening at the Notting Hill Hill Hill restaurant on Saturday night

As for the couple's plans for the future, their age gap of a quarter of a century could prove to be an even larger road barrage for pair than their faced religious beliefs.

When the actress called this left with the former friend friend and Ben Affleck in 2021, a source said on page six that De Armas had dropped the father of three because he would not commit to more children “- something she considers a dealbreaker.

However, if Ana seeks to start a family, she might not find what she is looking for with the father of three children, aged three, Tom.

After all, he is known for his complicated relationship with his distant daughter Suri, which he shares with the ex-wife Katie Holmes.

Suri was only six years old when his parents' marriage collapsed in 2012. The actor was previously married to actress Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, before knotting the knot with Nicole Kidman the same year. They separated in 2001.

There was a lot of feverish fascination for the role that Tom's dedication to Scientology had played in the dissolution of his marriage to Katie, and quickly followed questions concerning if Suri would continue to follow Tom's faith.

However, these qWe responded to the Uesitions when Katie received the exclusive custody of their daughter … and obviously showed that she did not intend to allow Suri to be taken in the world of Scientology.

Since then, the film star has been almost exiled in the life of her youngest child for more than a decade.

Last year, the teenager abandoned her father's famous family name and adopted the nickname Suri Noelle, a tribute to the second name of her mother.

Indeed, Tom's controversial past would make any potential lover increase a red flag.

But as the initiate revealed to the Daily Mail, those who are closest to Ana 'would not be surprised if she took the Scientology' if it meant continued a relationship with Tom.

Only time will tell us if the improbable couple goes to the distance, in turn, proving to opponents that love really conquers everything.
