The rumours about Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas's relationship have been doing the rounds of social media ever since they were seen leaving a party a few weeks ago. While neither Hollywood star has officially confirmed their relationship, Tom has now commented on Ana's upcoming film, the John Wick spinoff Ballerina at the London premiere of his own film Mission Impossible- The Final Reckoning.

At the premiere, Tom was seen with popular social media influencer Javier Ibarreche. During the interaction, when Tom was asked about Ballerina, he said, “I just saw the movie – it kicks a**. Its right in that tone. I am so excited about that."

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been spotted together multiple times this year- notably enjoying a cozy Valentine’s Day dinner. This fueled romance rumours despite sources claiming their meetings are strictly professional.

About Ballerina

Ana de Armas plays the lead in Ballerina, a new film set in the John Wick universe. The new film is set in the high-stakes world of assassins.
