How Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise's ‘Working Relationship' Turned to ‘Flirty Attraction'
Rumors that Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas might be dating swirled for months after they were seen together in London and then on a yacht off the coast of Spain. Sources maintained that the pair were simply working on various projects together, but at the end of July they were photographed holding hands.
A source speaking to Entertainment Tonight this week says that there was truth to the story that Cruise and de Armas shared a 'working relationship,' however 'their connection grew stronger.'
'Over time, it became clear that what they have goes beyond just friendship or a working relationship,' the source explained, saying they were working on projects together, especially the upcoming thriller, Deeper. Spending time together led to something more.
'Tom thinks she's incredibly smart and beautiful. Ana has always enjoyed their time together and the flirty attraction between them,' the insider added.
Other sources have hinted at a deepening relationship leading up to their hand holding reveal.
On May 14, a source told Us Weekly that Cruise was 'super smitten' with de Armas and had 'developed' feelings for her.
'They've gone out on some dates, and it's very low-key,' the source claimed. 'It's in the early stages, and he's been courting her.'
A source told People on July 18 that de Armas was single, though it had been rumored that she was dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. That same day, another insider described de Armas's connection with Cruise.
'[They] have a special work relationship,' the source said. 'Tom is crazy hardworking, and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime.'
The source added that as she has been preparing for Deeper, Cruise has been 'an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.'

Unearthed Story From James Bond Creator Will Shock Longtime Fans
If you're browsing the magazine section at your local bookstore, you should 100 percent grab a copy of the latest print edition of Men's Journal. And, after that, if you're ready to totally rethink your assumptions about James Bond creator Ian Fleming, you pick up an issue of the mystery magazine The Strand. In it, you'll find a recently rediscovered story penned by Fleming, which will make even his biggest fans think differently about his writing and reputation. Here's why this newly rediscovered Fleming short story is so cool, where to read it, and what it means for the legacy of James Bond. What is the new Ian Fleming short story? In the current issue of The Strand magazine, the long-time mystery and thriller publication has recently unearthed stories from both Ian Fleming and Graham Greene. The Fleming story in The Strand is titled "The Shameful Dream," and it's not about a spy or an assassin at all. Instead, the story is about an editor of a literary magazine who is 100 percent certain he's going to get fired from his job, because he's been ominously summoned to a meeting with his very rich boss. With a good amount of humor, but also self-deprecation, the narrator goes into all sorts of hypothetical situations in his mind, but also recalls the ways in which many of his other colleagues were fired or maneuvered into quitting outright. The stakes are oddly low, but the psychological realism and wit are compelling and gripping. This is a story that represents what Fleming might have been like had he not become a thriller writer, but instead, a writer of odd short stories. Fleming was very good friends with the author Kingsley Amis in real life. This story has more of a touch of that kind of writing, a sort of short story version of Lucky Jim with smart observations about social class and money. It may not be the greatest Fleming work of all time, but it is a revelation. Before he invented James Bond, Fleming's older brother, Peter Fleming, was a well-known writer and considered a true literary talent. In some ways, "The Shameful Dream" represents a road not taken for Ian Fleming, a style of writing that may have put him in the same class as his there more lost Ian Fleming Stories? The newest unearthed Ian Fleming short story in The Strand is not the only bit of new lost Fleming writing out there. It's actually an excerpt from a new book called Talk of the Devil, which was published in May in the U.S. by Harper Collins. Talk of the Devil includes this new short story, as well as several unpublished essays and various travelogues, which Fleming was famous for. While we're waiting for more news about the next James Bond film, The Strand's new excerpt and Talk of the Devil are great ways to dive deep into the universe of James Bond, and into unexplored artistic territories, charted by the man who started it Story From James Bond Creator Will Shock Longtime Fans first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 24, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
