Ana de Armas may be keeping busy with work and red carpets, but friends say the actress is quietly struggling after her breakup with Tom Cruise. In the beginning, the actress had hoped their relationship would mark a bright new chapter in her life. Instead, she’s been left feeling disappointed and emotionally drained. But also somewhat relieved, and lucky.
Sources close to Ana de Armas tell the Daily Mail that the actress is in a bit of a funk. After all, she did just split from Tom Cruise, and everyone thought they had what it takes to go the distance. However, many believe that even though Ana is feeling a little down, she came out a winner on this one.
For now, she’s doing her best to stay strong and keep her focus on her thriving career. Her action hit Ballerina, and ongoing Estée Lauder campaigns have helped her stay grounded, but the heartbreak hasn’t been easy to shake.
While Ana has stayed graceful in public, insiders claim there’s more to the story than “mutual differences.” The romance began with a fairytale romance and endless affection. But things quickly went south once Tom Cruise’s controlling ways surfaced.
According to whispers from friends of the former couple, Tom’s need to manage every detail of his personal life became too much. And in a twist that probably won’t shock anyone familiar with Cruise’s romantic history, his ex-wife Katie Holmes allegedly tried to warn Ana early on.
Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise’s Relationship Collapsed Under Tom’s Control
Whether Ana de Armas took that advice to heart or not remains unclear. But in the end, sources say, instead of giving in to Tom’s controlling ways, she decided to walk away. Ana is not the only one feeling the sting of a broken relationship.
As previously reported, Tom Cruise is taking the breakup harder than he’s letting on. Sources claim he’s been telling friends he ended things, spinning the narrative to protect his pride. But behind closed doors, he’s said to be shocked that Ana didn’t want to continue the relationship. Especially since he believed she was “the one.”
“You’ve certainly dodged a bullet by ending that relationship. Now run and be free,” one commenter writes.
“Lucky escape for her!” another adds.
“Go back to Ben,” one more suggests.
Now 62, the Mission: Impossible star’s ego is feeling deflated. He can’t understand why he still hasn’t found the woman to build a new future with. Some insiders are even suggesting that it may be karma catching up with him.
Maybe this breakup will finally teach him that not every woman wants to live by his script. Because while Ana de Armas may be “in a funk” right now, she’s already on her way out of it. Tom Cruise is left wondering if he could be doomed to spend the rest of his life alone.
