Tom Cruise and his new girlfriend, Anna de Armas, are making bold plans together — even as a minor issue complicates their fast-moving romance in a way Jennifer Lopez may understand.
A Seemingly Perfect Romance
Earlier this year, rumors spread that the Hollywood star had found love after his divorce from Katie Holmes.
Cruise has dated other actresses, but none of them have lasted. The couple downplayed rumors for months before confirming with a photo shoot, showing them holding hands in New York.
Sources close to Cruise and de Armas told PEOPLE magazine they are officially together.
The relationship is reportedly moving so fast that Tom Cruise is ready to spend several million dollars to purchase a home in the UK for himself and Anna de Armas so they can progress with their romance.
According to a source via Yahoo, “Tom Cruise really likes it there. But he wants something grander in the U.K., maybe a country estate, something that feels expansive and permanent. It’s only been a few months, but Tom Cruise moves fast. He sees no reason to wait to live together, and he’s clearly convinced Ana of the same thing.”
The source also claimed, “He’s totally swept her off her feet with the grand romantic gestures. She’s in awe of him. They are definitely thinking long-term.”
The Minor Hiccup
One minor hiccup: Cruise is jealous because de Armas still keeps in touch with her ex, Ben Affleck. Cruise is unhappy, thinking there is no reason for them to be friendly since they share no children, property, or business. He is baffled that Affleck moved on, married Jennifer Lopez, divorced, and is now back in touch with de Armas.
The insider said, “To Tom, Ben should respect boundaries and stay out.”
A Baffling Connection
Cruise wants de Armas to set boundaries so Affleck is “erased from the photo.” While Cruise trusts de Armas, he feels uneasy about Affleck’s involvement.
However, there is one odd aspect to all of this: Ben Affleck has reportedly refused to answer Jennifer Lopez’s text messages and ignored her birthday messages.
He rarely gives her the time of day, yet he has found a way to keep in touch with his ex-girlfriend, Anna de Armas. It must be a strange and painful contradiction for Jennifer Lopez.
Some observers say that Affleck has a habit of staying in touch with his exes. He is on very good terms with Jennifer Garner.
