Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise Spotted Sailing Together in Menorca: The Mystery of Manuel Anido

Renowned Cuban actress Ana de Armas and Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise have been photographed sailing together off the coast of Menorca. This sighting has sparked further speculation about their relationship, which has been the subject of rumors since February. On June 30th, the duo was seen aboard a sailboat on the western coast of the Balearic island, between Cala’n Bosh and Cap D’Andratx, in a scene that seemed right out of a movie but was entirely candid.

Dressed in relaxed and casual attire—she in a white Ibiza-style dress, he in a light blue sweater and Panama hat—they appeared to be enjoying each other's company while basking in the Mediterranean sun and sea, as exclusively reported by ¡Hola! magazine. Accompanying them was Salsa, one of Ana's dogs, indicating that Cruise has become part of the actress's inner circle.

A notable photograph shows Ana barefoot, comfortably placing her foot on Tom's hammock while reading "Annie Bot," the popular novel by Sierra Greer. This image suggests a shared everyday life that goes beyond mere friendship or professional collaboration. Their Mediterranean adventure seems to herald a new chapter in their shared story, following months of speculation fueled by their frequent appearances together and undeniable chemistry both on and off set.

The first public sign of their closeness came on February 14th, when they were spotted dining together in London on Valentine's Day. Since then, sightings have multiplied, with reports of them staying at the same hotels, appearing on film sets together, and even sharing rides on Cruise's private helicopter. Despite this, both have refrained from confirming any romantic involvement.

In a May interview promoting "Ballerina," Ana de Armas mentioned on television that she and Cruise were working on "many things, not just one, but several projects," adding that frequent Cruise collaborators Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie were also involved. The media frenzy intensified in late April when they both attended David Beckham's 50th birthday party in London. Following this, the British press began referring to Ana as "Tom Cruise's girlfriend," a label neither has acknowledged.

After this turning point, they opted to maintain a lower profile, coinciding with promotional campaigns for their respective projects: "Ballerina" for Ana, and the highly anticipated "Top Gun" sequel for Cruise. However, the allure of summer, sunshine, and vacation has brought them together once more, away from the red carpets and work commitments.

There is speculation that Cruise might consider Ana for leading roles in upcoming projects, including potential sequels to "Days of Thunder" or new films like "Judy" and "Pressure." In a recent interview with Italy's F Magazine, Ana de Armas expressed, "I would like to have children and a family. Ideally, soon. But it's not entirely up to me. As we know, love is unpredictable…”

This resurfacing of images from Menorca has reignited another question circulating on social media: what happened to Manuel Anido, the stepson of Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel, with whom Ana was reportedly involved late last year?

Until a few months ago, Ana and Manuel were seen together at social events in Madrid and on getaways to the Andalusian coast. However, since March 2025, there have been no new images or public appearances, leading to speculation about a gradual distancing or discreet breakup. Neither Ana nor Manuel has commented on the matter.
