Who wants a Cuban politician when you can have the biggest movie star? That's what those who make up stories about the lives of celebrities seem to think when they see "suspicious" photos of two celebrities. Although, to tell the truth, in the case of Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise, the rumors that they could be having a romance are not entirely far-fetched.
They weren't seen kissing. They weren't holding hands either. That needs to be said. However, they did have dinner together and were surprisingly dressed in a similar way, in blue trousers, jeans for her, and dress pants for him. They were also both wearing black blazers.
It was also odd that they took a taxi, considering that they are both public figures and he usually travels with bodyguards and in private cars. However, that's not what sparked the rumors of a budding romance either.
Rumors of a new love
What sparked the talk that we might be witnessing the beginning of what could be one of the most media-covered relationships in Hollywood was the date of this meeting. De Armas and Cruise went out to dinner alone on none other than Valentine's Day. Yes, the photos were taken on February 14, Valentine's Day.
That people can go out to dinner with a colleague from the same industry without having anything, even if it is such a symbolic day, yes. That two luminaries of the cinema walk alone through London on the night of love. Well, if they are not together, they want the public to think so, because if they wanted to hide, they would simply leave through the back door of the restaurant or go to a more private place.

But this is not the first time. Fans saw Cruise dropping Anne off at London's Chiltern Firehouse hotel this week. It may all be fake or even a smokescreen to cover up the real personal stories, but if so, it is very well orchestrated.
There are suspicions
Beyond the obvious age difference—Ana de Armas is 36, compared to Tom Cruise's 62 — there is also the fact that a few weeks ago the actor and producer was seen in a romantic mood with his agent, Maha Dakhil.
The Cuban actress, for her part, was captured by photographers and even denounced in Madrid after she was seen kissing Cuban politician Manuel Anido in the street. The romance was widely criticized because she was with the stepson and political advisor of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Time will tell if this is a publicity stunt or an April-December love affair. What we do know is that De Armas is like Becky G: le gustan mayores (Ben Affleck). On the other hand, he loves Latinas (Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz).
