Tom Cruise absolutely gushed over his girlfriend Ana de Armas’ new film From the World of John Wick: Ballerina.

The Top Gun star, 62, made a comment to reporters at the premiere of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning in London.

‘I saw the movie, it kicks a**,’ Cruise said. ‘Oh, man, it’s right in that tone. It’s right in that big world, and you’re gonna love it.’  Tom and Ana, 37, have been linked to each other since earlier this year though neither have spoken out about their relationship – until now.

Ana appeared on GMA earlier this week and excitedly talked about her upcoming action film, praising Keanu Reeves, 60, and revealing the intense stunts she performed as well as her relationship with Cruise.

‘I was like, “I hope I can just do it as best as I can — maybe as good as [Reeves] does it.:’

But when host Michael Strahan brought up her connection to Cruise, she didn’t shy away.

‘You’re working with another big star, Tom Cruise, on another project that will lead you to do more crazy stunts,’ Strahan said.

‘It’s so much fun,’ Ana replied. ‘We’re definitely working on a lot of things.’

She added: ‘It’s not just one, but a few projects—with [directors] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom.’

Flashing a big smile, she added, ‘And I’m so excited.’

Armas and Cruise have been getting serious in recent weeks, the Daily Mail has learned, with one of his A-list exes even granting approval for the unlikely romance.

It is understood Spanish actress Penelope Cruz – who dated Cruise from 2001 to 2004 – is ‘happy’ that her ex-boyfriend has found new love.

Cruz, 51, and Armas have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie WASP Network.

The first day we got on the mat and started rehearsing the choreo, I was just looking at him,’ de Armas recalled to BroBible of training with Reeves

‘Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves,’ an insider told the Daily Mail. ‘They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.

Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her,’ the insider added. ‘She was flipped out by the fans and stalkers when living in Venice Beach [Los Angeles] so she moved to a remote part of Vermont.’

In 2022, Armas dropped over $7 million for a sprawling six-bed home in the Green Mountain State.

‘She loves being away from the crazy,’ the source explained. ‘She has been traveling with Tom to busy cities like London, but he always makes her feel safe because he is thoughtful and he has a ton of security. He never puts her at risk, she is completely taken care of when she is in his company.’

Friends believe the relationship could last, with our insider pointing to the fact that Armas does ‘not like to party’, prefering quiet nights at home like her decades-older boyfriend.

Though another source stressed that the pair are ‘taking it day by day’ and that Armas ‘does not give her heart away easy.’

‘Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding. Being affectionate with someone is not something that Ana would do for a role,’ the second source added.

In November last year, Armas was linked to the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, with the pair stepping out for a loved-up stroll in Madrid the following month.

Despite receiving massive backlash over the relationship, the actress, who fled communist Cuba age 18, did not shy away from engaging in some PDA with him.

She also previously dated Ben Affleck from November 2019 to January 2021 after meeting on the set of the 2022 thrilled Deep Water.
