The Mission: Impossible star and the Oscar-nominated actress first sparked dating rumors in February, when they were photographed during a night out in London. When de Armas and Cruise were first spotted together, a source told PEOPLE that they were at dinner with their agents "discussing potential collaborations down the line" and noted at the time that the actors "appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends." They were photographed together again several times over the following weeks, including as they left David Beckham's 50th birthday party in London on May 3 and on a park walk in the U.K. capital on de Armas' 37th birthday days earlier. Over the summer, outings for the pair have included a trip aboard a yacht in Spain and, more recently, an Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium over the weekend. Cruise and de Armas were spotted taking in the band's performance together in the background of English producer and DJ Goldie's Instagram video he shared from the show. Goldie, 59, also shared a selfie he took with Cruise from the concert. In May, de Armas confirmed that she was working on multiple projects with Cruise — one of which has been confirmed to be the upcoming Doug Liman-directed supernatural ocean thriller Deeper. The two actors "have a special work relationship," a source told PEOPLE earlier this month, adding that de Armas has "prepped" all summer for Deeper, their first project together. "Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime," the insider said, adding in part, "Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him." Cruise was previously married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, and is dad to three children: daughter Isabella, 32, and son Connor, 30, with Kidman, 58, as well as 19-year-old daughter Suri with Holmes, 46. Meanwhile, de Armas was most recently linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. The Knives Out actress previously dated Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis. Before that, de Armas was in a relationship with her Deep Water costar Ben Affleck from March 2020 until their "completely amicable" split in January 2021, as a source told PEOPLE at that time.
