Liam Neeson—Pamela Anderson, Katy Perry—Justin Trudeau and Tom Cruise—Ana De Armas: Hollywood's romances are heating up

Hindustan Times3 days ago
Romance rumours in Hollywood aren't new, but this latest wave of high-profile pairings has sparked more curiosity than usual. Maybe it's the way they show up together—casually, confidently, and often with just enough ambiguity to keep everyone guessing. Some met on set. Others were spotted mid-vacation. And while a few haven't said a word, others have offered just enough of a quote to fan the flames without confirming a thing. PAmela Anderson and Liam Neeson; Ana De Armas and Tom Cruise
There's no hard-launching or red carpet declarations here—just a mix of shared glances, offhand comments, and a handful of candid moments that have led fans to wonder: is this just friendship, or something more?
Here are five Hollywood pairings that have caught the spotlight.
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson
While promoting their upcoming film The Naked Gun, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have drawn attention for their natural rapport. From red carpet antics and flirtatious interviews to Pamela reportedly baking cookies and sourdough for Liam, the pairing has fans speculating. The rumours picked up pace at the New York City premiere on Wednesday, where the two arrived with their respective children. During an Entertainment Tonight interview, they pretended to kiss. The next morning, on Today, after the host asked directly about the rumours, the pair responded with jokes, before Liam said, 'We discovered a lovely, budding chemistry, as two actors... Let's just allow it to unfold.' Earlier in May, Pamela had called their relationship as'professionally romantic.'
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau
Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were seen having dinner at Le Violon in Montreal, Canada. According to TMZ, it wasn't a quiet table in the back—rather, a visible two-hour meal with aides present. Those nearby said the atmosphere didn't feel like business. Katy leaned in throughout, and Justin appeared fully engaged. The two ended the evening by stepping into the kitchen to personally thank the chefs.
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas
Hollywood star Tom Cruise and actor Ana de Armas were recently spotted walking hand-in-hand through Woodstock, Vermont on Wednesday. The pair were seen enjoying ice cream, shopping, and even taking a drive through a national park—with no attempts to go unnoticed. While, they've been seen together since February at dinners, events, and a helicopter ride, which was initially chalked up to work-related meetings, with no announced project between them, their latest public outing has seemingly confirmed the dating rumours.
Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez
Jessica Alba and Captain America: Brave New World actor Danny Ramirez were seen sharing a kiss in public, as captured by TMZ. It's the most direct sign yet of a new relationship. Earlier this month, they were photographed returning from a Cancún getaway and later dining together in West Hollywood. Jessica, 44, and Danny, 32, had already sparked rumours, but the kiss has all but confirmed them.
Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis
Friends star Jennifer Aniston has been linked to wellness coach and 'master hypnotist' Jim Curtis. The two were first spotted in June at a hotel in California (US), where, according to Page Six, they were seen 'cuddling' during dinner. They were later seen together in Mallorca (Spain) over the Fourth of July weekend. Neither has commented, but the nature of their sightings has led to growing speculation about a possible new romance.
Whether these connections blossom into long-term relationships or simply remain meaningful moments in the spotlight, each of these pairings offers a glimpse into the more personal side of Hollywood. Some have leaned into the attention, others have stayed quiet—but all have sparked conversation. In an industry where everything is public, it's the unspoken gestures, shared glances, and in-between moments that continue to keep us guessing.

Meghan Markle's ex-best friend Jessica Mulroney splits from Ben Mulroney after 16 years of marriage

Jessica Mulroney, once the closest confidante of Meghan Markle, was hit by a wave of personal and professional setbacks after reportedly being 'cut off' by Meghan Markle in 2020. Mulroney, a Canadian fashion stylist, was part of Meghan's inner circle since 2011 when the Duchess was still an actor on Suits. Jessica Mulroney reportedly splits from her husband, Ben Mulroney.(Instagram/jessicamulroney) Mulroney and Markle's friendship seemed to be unbreakable, with the former styling the Duchess for her engagement photos, Jessica's children were part of the 2018 royal wedding, and she hosted Meghan's 2019 New York baby shower. However, a racism scandal involving Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter, the bond that once placed Mulroney at the peak of Toronto's elite society, seemingly unraveled almost overnight, as per Express. From BFFs to persona non grata In 2020, Exeter accused Mulroney of threatening her career after a disagreement over Black Lives Matter. The incident sparked widespread backlash, with Jessica apologising publicly and citing her friendship with Meghan as a 'deeply educational' experience about race. An Express report quoted sources claiming that Meghan felt her friend attempted to make a career out of their friendship and therefore distanced herself. The report added that Meghan had effectively 'ghosted' Mulroney. After the fallout, Mulroney lost her role as a fashion contributor on Good Morning America and had her Canadian TV show I Do, Redo, canceled. She also stepped away from several charity roles and reportedly became a 'toxic socialite'.

The Page Six report added that Jessica was recently seen without her wedding band and revealed the split at a high-profile Toronto wedding attended by celebrities like Drake and LeBron James. Meanwhile, the report stated that the separation happened 'some time ago' and while Jessica seemed emotional, she apparently was relieved to have clarity. Ben had stepped down from his TV hosting duties in 2020 to support Jessica during the fallout. However, despite their united front at the time, insiders believe that the strain revealed deeper issues in their marriage. Mental health struggles behind the scenes Friends revealed that after the PR scandal, Jessica faced intense depression and was put on heavy antidepressants. According to Page Six's report, her mother had to step in to care for Mulroney since she could not talk without crying. Ben, the report added, told friends he feared for her well-being during the period. Jessica later opened up about her journey. She credited sobriety and therapy for helping her recover. 'There is hope,' she had written in a post in 2021, and said, 'My life is happy again.' FAQs Q: Why did Meghan Markle end her friendship with Jessica Mulroney? A: Following a racism-related controversy in 2020, Meghan reportedly distanced herself, believing Jessica tried to capitalize on their friendship. Q: What happened to Jessica Mulroney after the scandal? A: She lost TV jobs, stepped down from charitable roles, became socially isolated, and has since split from her husband.

A: They share three children: twin boys Brian and John, and a daughter, Ivy.

Royal Wedding Soon: Peter Phillips, Queen Elizabeth's 'Favourite', Engaged To UK Nurse

Peter Phillips, Queen Elizabeth II's eldest grandchild, is engaged to pediatric nurse Harriet Sperling. Peter Phillips, the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the only son of Princess Anne, announced his engagement to Harriet Sperling, a pediatric nurse with the UK's National Health Service. The couple confirmed the news in a statement following a year of dating. 'Mr. Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, and Ms. Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr. Rupert Sanders and Mrs. Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement," a statement issued by the couple's spokesperson said. 'Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed," it added. No date has yet been set for the wedding. The couple made their public debut in May 2024 at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire. Since then, Harriet Sperling has been seen at royal events including Royal Ascot, often alongside Princess Anne and Queen Camilla. Harriet Sperling, who also works as a freelance writer, has one daughter named Georgia. In past writings, she has spoken about her experience living with a chronic neurological condition and balancing that with motherhood and faith.

The two wed at St. George's Chapel in Windsor in 2008 and share two daughters- Savannah (14) and Isla (13).

Following his divorce, Peter Phillips was in a three-year relationship with Lindsay Wallace, appearing with her at several royal functions including the Platinum Jubilee and the Coronation Concert for King Charles. Who Is Peter Phillips? Peter Phillips is the eldest child of Princess Anne and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips. Born in 1977, he holds no royal title at the request of his parents, who wanted their children to lead more private lives. Despite that, Peter Phillips has remained active in public life and royal events. He is currently 18th in line to the British throne and is known for his close relationship with his cousins, including Prince William and Prince Harry. How Many Grandchildren Did Queen Elizabeth II Have? Queen Elizabeth II had eight grandchildren: Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, the children of Princess Anne; Prince William and Prince Harry, the sons of King Charles III; Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, the daughters of Prince Andrew; and Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, the children of Prince Edward.
