Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise Enjoy ‘Great’ Vermont Getaway Ahead of New Movie Project

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas recently took a well-deserved break from their busy schedules with a cozy getaway in Vermont — and according to an exclusive source, the two had a “great” time together.

The Mission: Impossible star and the Blonde actress, who is 37 and 63 respectively, spent quality time in the Green Mountain State where de Armas owns a home. The insider told PEOPLE that Ana “enjoyed being the host” and “loves spending time with Tom.” The couple explored some of her favorite local spots, including a charming bookstore in Woodstock and the scenic Billings Farm & Museum, where they were spotted casually enjoying the gardens like many other visitors.

“Ana loves Vermont. It’s her place to rest and recharge,” the source explained. “She was excited to host Tom and show him around.”

Their Vermont retreat comes ahead of their collaboration on the upcoming film Deeper, a supernatural ocean thriller directed by Doug Liman. According to the source, both actors are “very focused on kicking off their new project together.” Despite the intense shooting schedule that lies ahead, they are ready to dive in.

For Ana de Armas, Deeper marks her first time working with Cruise, and she is both “excited and nervous” about the opportunity. “She knows Tom has high standards on set, but she’s ready for the challenge,” the insider revealed. Their budding professional partnership also seems to be flourishing personally. Another source shared that the pair “have become incredibly close” and that Tom continues to be “a huge support — both personally and professionally.”

The two actors first sparked dating rumors earlier this year after being seen together in London, though at the time they were said to share “no romantic connection, just friends.” Since then, sightings of the duo have multiplied: sharing helicopter rides in England, enjoying a boat outing in Spain, and attending a concert in London, fueling speculation about their relationship.

Though neither Cruise nor de Armas have publicly commented on their personal relationship, their mutual admiration is clear. At the Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premiere in New York City this past May, Cruise praised de Armas’s talent, calling her “an actress that has dramatic chops, someone who’s comedic, very, very talented.” He also recently praised her work in Ballerina on Instagram, saying the film “kicks ass.”

As they prepare to collaborate on Deeper, it’s evident that Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas share not only professional respect but also a deepening personal bond — and fans can look forward to seeing their chemistry on and off the screen in the near future.
