For months, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been quietly fueling the kind of Hollywood speculations that turn whispers into a wildfire. From quiet meetups to mysteriously timed outings, the two stars have sparked endless chatter without saying a word. Their chemistry is always palpable, driving an unstoppable buzz. And just when fans thought they had seen it all, the duo turned heads once again — this time in a way that left the internet gasping and gossiping louder than ever.

An X page titled Oscar Race shared photos of Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas holding hands during an outing, calling it their first public appearance as a couple. While the Mission: Impossible star wore classic blue jeans and a matching tee, the Ballerina actress looked radiant in a white T-shirt and black jeans. But it was not their outfits that sparked buzz — it was the finger-intertwined PDA, which sent fans spiraling over what it could mean.

Notably, TMZ shared the same snaps of the pair, too, billing it as an ostentatious confirmation of their romance. The outing comes following the pair attending an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium recently, with the outlet reporting the two did a lot of other things to confirm their romantic involvement, including driving through the national park, shopping together, and stopping for ice cream. Fans could not keep calm over the information overdrive and headed straight to X to demand answers.

Regardless of the humor, the general consensus was not any different from how good the two look together.

The alternative narrative on the news, though, warned Ana de Armas about Tom Cruise, with one X user even asking her to run in the opposite direction from the star. Some comments also pointed out how Cruise overshadows her in terms of looks.
