Ana de Armas opens up about motherhood dreams amid growing romance rumors with Tom Cruise

Hollywood actress Ana de Armas is making headlines not just for her film projects but also for her candid revelations about wanting to become a mother. In a recent interview with F Magazine, Ana shared her hopes for starting a family in the near future. “Yes, I would like to have children and a family, soon if possible,” she said.

However, Ana acknowledged that such life decisions are not entirely within her control. “But it doesn't just depend on me. As we know, love is unpredictable, you never know when true love will come. Relationships can't be controlled: life is not a movie.”

The Ballerina star also spoke about her natural instinct to care for children, saying, “I feel an immense instinct to protect children, because they are defenseless and innocent beings who need adults to feel safe.” Her remarks have reignited speculation about her personal life, particularly her rumored romance with Tom Cruise.

Romance Rumors Intensify with Tom Cruise

While neither Ana de Armas nor Tom Cruise has officially confirmed their relationship, the two have been spotted together on several occasions since February. Their public appearances, which include a helicopter ride and dining out in London ahead of Ana’s 37th birthday, have fueled rumors of a budding romance. The timing of Ana’s comments about motherhood has only added to the speculation, with fans and media alike eager to know if Cruise is part of her plans for the future.

Tom Cruise’s Experience with Parenthood

Tom Cruise is no stranger to fatherhood. He shares adopted children Bella and Connor with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and has a biological daughter, Suri, from his marriage to Katie Holmes. However, his relationship with Suri has been strained, and he has reportedly been estranged from her since his split from Holmes in 2012. Cruise’s experience as a parent and his high-profile personal life have often been the subject of public scrutiny, making any potential new chapter with Ana de Armas particularly newsworthy.

Ana de Armas’ Relationship History

Ana de Armas, on the other hand, has not yet had children. She was previously married to Spanish actor Marc Clotet from 2011 to 2013 and later dated Hollywood star Ben Affleck in 2020. In 2024, Ana was briefly linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba’s president. Despite her high-profile relationships, Ana has kept her personal aspirations, especially regarding motherhood, largely private until now.

Professional Collaboration Fuels Speculation

Adding another layer to the rumors, Ana and Tom are reportedly working together on multiple film projects. On Good Morning America, Ana teased, “It’s so much fun. We're definitely working on a lot of things. It's not just one, but a few projects — with [directors] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.” Their professional partnership has only intensified public interest in their off-screen relationship.

Tom Cruise, known for championing his co-stars, has praised Ana’s talent and dedication. Speaking to the Associated Press, he said, “[Ana] is very, very talented. [The film is] gonna crush.” Ana, who performed her own stunts in the action film, told USA Today, “I totally get why he does it. It’s demanding and painful and your body is hurting everywhere, but it’s also very rewarding as I saw myself getting better at it. Besides, it’s fun. And if I just go say my lines and someone else does the stunts, I’m missing that fun.”

Family, Films, and the Future

As Ana de Armas continues to shine in Hollywood and take on challenging new roles, her openness about wanting to start a family has struck a chord with fans. Whether her dreams of motherhood will unfold alongside Tom Cruise remains to be seen, but the pair’s growing closeness—both on and off screen—continues to capture the public’s imagination. For now, Ana is focused on her career and personal growth, embracing both the unpredictability of love and the excitement of new beginnings.
