Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas recently surprised locals in Vermont with a quiet and cozy getaway. Known for their high-profile careers and global fame, the pair opted for a more relaxed and private escape, away from the spotlight of Los Angeles or international film sets.
An Unexpected Duo in a Peaceful Setting
While they’re not currently working on a film together, Cruise and de Armas were spotted spending time in Vermont, sparking curiosity about their relationship. An insider told People that the trip wasn’t romantic, but rather “a friendly getaway between two colleagues who share a strong bond.” The source added, “They’ve known each other for a while through the industry. They’re both very private people, so this kind of peaceful trip is exactly what they enjoy.”
A Break from the Spotlight
Both actors have had incredibly busy years. Tom Cruise, 62, has been promoting his latest Mission: Impossible installment and working on several upcoming projects. Ana de Armas, 36, has been in demand since her Oscar-nominated performance as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde, and she’s currently filming new roles in both action and drama genres. The Vermont getaway gave them both a chance to unplug and enjoy a slower pace. According to the insider, they stayed in a secluded luxury cabin surrounded by nature, far from crowds and paparazzi.
“They hiked, cooked meals together, and mostly just enjoyed being offline,” the source revealed.
What Locals Saw
Despite their attempt to keep things low-key, a few locals did spot the pair at nearby cafes and boutique shops. One shop owner noted that they were “incredibly polite and humble,” and that they didn’t attract much attention until someone recognized Cruise.
“Tom was wearing a hat and sunglasses, but his voice gave him away,” the shopkeeper said with a laugh. “Still, they didn’t make a scene—they just came in, browsed a bit, and left quietly.”
No Romance, Just Respect and Friendship
Though fans have speculated about a possible romance between Cruise and de Armas, sources close to both actors have shut down those rumors. According to insiders, the connection is based on mutual respect and shared values, especially when it comes to privacy and work ethic.
“They admire each other professionally. Ana looks up to Tom’s discipline and passion for filmmaking, while Tom enjoys her talent and grounded nature,” the insider explained.
A Possible Collaboration Ahead?
While there’s no official confirmation, some insiders believe this Vermont trip may have involved early talks about a future project. Both actors are known for choosing their roles carefully, and the idea of them working together has fans excited.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if something comes out of this friendship in terms of a collaboration,” said the source. “They’re both powerhouses in the industry.”
Enjoying the Quiet Before the Next Big Move
As both Cruise and de Armas gear up for more major projects, this quiet escape seems to have been exactly what they needed—a reset before diving back into the chaos of Hollywood. Whether it leads to a new film or simply strengthens a professional friendship, their Vermont trip gave fans a rare look at the human side of two global stars.
