The grass may be greener for Ana de Armas on Tom Cruise's side!

The actress is reportedly still determined to become a mother, despite the uncertain nature of romantic relationships and the unpredictability of true love.

Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise have been fanning the flames of romance with a nearly three-decade age difference between them. Rumors began swirling about a possible relationship between the duo earlier in the year.

The Cuban-Spanish actress clarified that her overwhelming desire to have a child is also reliant on the readiness of her significant other; basically, it takes two to tango.

De Armas acknowledged that relationships cannot be "controlled," and one never knows "when true love will arrive." The actress revealed during an interview that she carried an intense desire to protect defenseless and innocent kids who need adults to look after them.

De Armas is very aware of how unpredictable life can get, and it spills over to relationships. "As we know, love is unpredictable; you never know when true love will arrive. Relationships can't be controlled: life isn't a movie," she continued.

Well, Armas's protective instincts end right at the point of parenting. When it comes to being in a relationship, she is quite the package, and men cannot help but marvel at her passionate ways. According to her:

"Many men have told me I have puppy dog ​​eyes. I give the impression of being a sweet and innocent creature, but then they're surprised, because deep down...pure and wild passion governs my choices."

Most importantly, the actress noted that she has no intention of living her life quietly; in her words, as per The Daily Mail, "I want to live every moment to the fullest." Cruise is definitely in for a ride with this one!

De Armas is not the only passionate one. In May, The Blast shared that Cruise had glamorous things to say about her performance in the movie. He raved about it during an interview at the London premiere of his "Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning" movie.

"I saw the movie. It just kicks -ss. Oh, man, it's right in that tone. It's right in that big world. You're going to love it," the actor noted. While the duo has not confirmed their status as partners at the time, sources close to them have revealed that their romance is picking up pace, although it is still in its early days.

Regarding how they met, the source clarified that Penelope Cruz set them up by speaking highly of them, both professionally and personally.

The actress immediately took cruise, and it morphed into profound feelings for De Armas. They have also gone on quiet dates, and the legendary actor has taken courting her very seriously.

The 37-year-old is taking a different approach to her relationship with Cruise by taking things one day at a time and not looking forward to things moving too fast.

De Armas was pictured engaging in a public display of affection with the step-son of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermúdez in 2024. The romance was unfortunately short-lived and has shaped De Armas' decision to keep her relationship with Cruise private.

She also went through the same routine of the public constantly having things to say about her relationship with Ben Affleck, which was one of the things she disliked about their relationship.

De Armas' preference for shielding the things she loves from the media's scrutiny has been one of the highlights of her persona for Cruise. The Hollywood figures sparked speculations of a relationship in the second month of the year, after a night out together in London.

They were also spotted by the paparazzi at a London heliport, where they emerged via helicopter for an outing. The pair reportedly kept things very casual and friendly for the March 15 event.

In 2021, PEOPLE reported that sources close to Affleck and De Armas confirmed that they decided to head in separate directions in their personal lives.

The relationship, which lasted for nearly a year, was ended by the actress due to some issues that could not be overlooked, including where to reside. "She broke it off. Their relationship was complicated. Ana doesn't want to be Los Angeles-based based and Ben has to since his kids live in Los Angeles," the source affirmed.

Additionally, the insider shared that De Armas' desire to have kids also played a role in the split, as Affleck was not willing to compromise and have more kids. The actress, in her 30s, reportedly viewed this as a "deal breaker."

The source continued that the split was done in an understanding manner with loads of "deep love and respect." They also acknowledged they were at different points in their lives, with Affleck focusing on fixing his life.

"He has three jobs lined up, and he's a solid father at home. They are both happy with where they are in their lives," the insider concluded.

De Armas and Affleck spent quality time together during their relationship, with the actress moving into his Los Angeles home after she listed her Venice, California, residence for sale.

The star's talent continues to earn her praise from the appropriate quarters. Three years ago, the estate of Monroe threw their full weight behind De Armas' back following her portrayal of the actress in the Netflix biopic "Blonde."

As reported by The Blast, Marc Rosen, the President of Entertainment at Authentic Brands Group (ABG), the owners of Marilyn Monroe Estate, released a statement to that effect:

"Marilyn Monroe is a singular Hollywood and pop culture icon that transcends generations and history. Any actor who steps into that role knows they have big shoes to fill."

Rosen praised the choice of De Armas to fill these shoes, describing it as great casting and an excellent way to capture "Marilyn's glamour, humanity, and vulnerability. "

He noted that Monroe has served as an iconic figure of influence through generations, and her legacy will very much continue. Rosen concluded that there are no rules on how any artist or creative should decide to honor her sterling legacy.
