Tom Cruise isn’t about to let Ana de Armas be the one who got away. Their romance is moving at the kind of speed only he could pull off. Handholding strolls in Vermont, talks of marriage and babies, and it all sounds very fairy-tale-ish. But, behind the smiles and romance, there’s a detail that’s not sitting well with Tom.
That detail just so happens to be Ana de Armas’ ex Ben Affleck. Needless to say that Tom Cruise’s jealousy has kicked into high gear. So what is the deal with Ben? Ana de Armas and Affleck dated for about a year back in 2020.
Things didn’t work out for some reason (Jennifer Lopez), but they ended things as friends. They promised to stay in touch, but apparently, Ben Affleck took that pact a little too literally. According to recent reports, insiders claim he’s been checking in with Ana on the regular. And Tom isn’t exactly thrilled about his girlfriend’s ex lingering around the edges.
The whole thing gives off Tom Cruise a suspicious vibe. Ben Affleck may be playing it off as harmless, but Tom feels this isn’t just casual “friendly ex” territory. He believes Ben may have another agenda, and he is not about to stand by and watch it play out.
Sources say Tom fully believes Ana is faithful, but his issue is Ben. He reportedly thinks Affleck is “creeping around” where he doesn’t belong, and honestly, can you blame him for side-eyeing the situation?
Ben Affleck’s Friendly Check-Ins Are Raising Eyebrows For Tom Cruise
Cruise is already protective by nature, and with this romance blazing forward at lightning speed, he doesn’t have patience for surprise drama from Ana’s past. As far as he’s concerned, Affleck needs to back off and fast.
“Tom doesn’t trust Ben, and he doesn’t like the idea of him creeping around. As far as Tom is concerned, Ben ought to respect boundaries and not poke his nose where it doesn’t belong,” the source states.
Still, Ana seems completely wrapped up in Tom’s grand gestures. The couple is already planning to merge their lives, with Vermont as their cozy hideaway and that big, sweeping estate in the U.K. on the horizon. Insiders say Ana’s charmed, impressed, and very much on board with Tom’s fast-paced love story.
But while she may be dazzled, Tom’s keeping one eye firmly on the shadows. Namely, the one shaped like Ben Affleck.
For now, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are going full speed ahead, but the suspicious timing of Ben Affleck’s renewed “friendship” with Ana isn’t exactly blending seamlessly into their fairytale. Tom’s not buying it.
