Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have yet to publicly confirm their relationship, keeping fans guessing. Despite their silence, their frequent appearances together have fueled speculation that the two have been romantically involved for quite a while now. Observers have noted the undeniable chemistry they display whenever they are out and about, leaving little doubt about their connection. However, experts are now weighing in on the pair, suggesting that their 26-year age gap raises compatibility red flags that could challenge the bond over time.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas's secret romance dazzles fans, but experts caution that their age difference may pose a challenge eventually.

Daily Mail recently consulted several relationship experts, who suggested that the more than two-decade age gap between Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise could pose considerable compatibility challenges. While Dr. Wendy Walsh, an expert at Dating Advice dot com, said relationships with two Hollywood A-listers often experience a lack of "emotional intimacy" despite understanding each other’s career demands, Sara Sloan, a licensed marriage and family therapist, warned that large age differences can create a "parent/child dynamic," causing tension during conflict.

Amber Lee, CEO of Select Date Society, meanwhile, told the aforementioned outlet that long-term differences in energy, life goals, and family planning could challenge the couple. At 37, Ana de Armas may face pressure regarding motherhood, while Tom Cruise’s lifestyle could diverge the same as they age. Public scrutiny also acts as a challenge, with Sara Sloan explaining that societal criticism of large age-gap couples often stems from truth in stereotypes. For those not in the loop, rumors of a romance between Cruise and Armas have circulated since at least February of this year.
