Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are grabbing attention after being seen together in Vermont. The 63-year-old ‘Mission Impossible’ actor and the 37-year-old ‘Ballerina’ star were spotted holding hands during a casual day out, sparking fresh dating rumours.The two were seen enjoying a drive through a National Park, doing some shopping, and grabbing ice cream. Their outing quickly made headlines, with many wondering if they are quietly making their relationship public, a classic soft launch move. Cruise, who has kept his private life low-key since his 2012 split from Katie Holmes, surprised many with this public display of affection.
Netizens question their 26-year age gap
The outing also brought up talk about their 26-year age difference. Some people on the internet couldn’t stop commenting on it. One person wrote, “So you mean when Tom was 25 years old, Ana hasn’t being born yet. Crazy”.Another user joked, “Did someone forget to tell Tom the rule is half your age plus 7? Or did the rule change and he hasn’t told everyone else yet?”Someone else pointed out, “Fun Fact: When the first Mission Impossible was released, Ana de Armas was 8 years of age.”These reactions have caused a lot of debate online, with some focused on the age gap more than the relationship itself.
Fans rush to support the rumoured couple
Not everyone sees the age gap as a problem. Many users on X came forward to defend the actors. One user said, “Honestly, if he is in shape I see nothing wrong with this.”Another wrote, “Tom Cruise looking healthier, younger and better than most 37 year old men is the only headline that makes bringing their ages up relevant.”A different fan added, “That guy is in absolutely amazing shape for 63-years old! Not sure how he does it, but kuddos.”Others simply called it a private matter, with one person saying, “Tom Cruise is a grown man. Ana de Armas is a grown woman. Their age difference is nobody’s business.”
Spotted together earlier this year
This isn’t the first time they’ve been seen together. Back in February, the pair were spotted in London, carrying takeaway bags after what was believed to be a dinner meeting with their agents.As reported by People magazine, the meeting was to talk about “possible collaborations in the future,” and that they “seemed to have no romantic link, just friends.” At the time, no romantic connection was assumed. But now, with the Vermont outing, fans are starting to connect the dots.
