In photos published by the Daily Mail, de Armas, 36, looked effortlessly chic in a black blazer paired with blue jeans and gold ballet flats, while Cruise, 62, kept it dapper in a navy blazer with matching pants and a beige button-down shirt. The Blade Runner 2049 actress was seen carrying a takeout bag as they left the restaurant, and both stars took time to chat and snap photos with excited fans before hopping into a cab together.
Here’s where it gets interesting: neither star is currently working on any projects together, though both have major action films dropping this summer. Cruise is gearing up for his final appearance as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning on May 23, while de Armas is set to kick some serious butt in the John Wick spinoff Ballerina on June 6.
This isn’t the first time de Armas has had Cruise on her mind. In 2023, while discussing her own stunt work for the film Ghosted, she actually gave the action star a glowing review. “I’m not at a Tom Cruise level yet,” she told USA Today. “But I can appreciate what he does 100 percent now, and I totally get why he does it. He’s so mind-blowing.”
Both stars have been linked to other people in recent months. De Armas was recently photographed kissing Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, in Madrid in November 2024. Before that, she dated Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis in 2023 and had a highly publicized relationship with Ben Affleck from 2020 to 2021.
The attention from her relationship with Affleck actually influenced de Armas to make some major life changes. “Going through it [myself] confirmed my thoughts about, ‘This is not the place for me to be,'” she revealed to Elle in July 2022, explaining why she left Los Angeles for a home in Vermont. “It became a little bit too much. There’s no escape. There’s no way out.”
While both Cruise and de Armas are keeping mysteriously quiet about the nature of their relationship, we can’t help but wonder if Hollywood’s newest maybe-couple is cooking up something more than just dinner plans—only time will tell.
