Ana de Armas took Tom Cruise home to Vermont with her last weekend. The two stars were photographed holding hands, fueling more dating rumors. A source told People this week that Cruise and de Armas’s relationship has changed, although the insider did not say whether it has become truly romantic.

De Armas “really enjoys spending time with him,” the source said. “They’ve become incredibly close, and Tom continues to be a huge support—both personally and professionally.”

The actress, who is working with Cruise on the thriller Deeper, wanted to take him to Woodstock, Vermont, where she owns a $7 million house. “Ana loves Vermont,” the source explained. “It’s her place to rest and recharge. She was excited to host Tom and show him around. She took him to all her favorite spots.”

A source told People on July 18 that de Armas was single. That same day, an insider detailed de Armas’s connection with Cruise to the outlet.

“[They] have a special work relationship,” the source said. “Tom is crazy hardworking, and she’s very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime.”

Deeper begins filming this month. The source added that, as she has been preparing, Cruise has been “an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.”

For Cruise, the sentiment may go a little deeper. On May 14, a source told Us Weekly that Cruise was “super smitten” with de Armas and had “developed” feelings for her.

“They’ve gone out on some dates, and it’s very low-key,” the source claimed. “It’s in the early stages, and he’s been courting her.”
