Ana De Armas and Tom Cruise’s whirlwind romance has officially come to a screeching halt after just eight months, leaving the world buzzing with speculation about the next chapter for the stunning Cuban actress. Meanwhile, her ex, Ben Affleck, is reportedly seizing the opportunity to reignite their past flame, raising eyebrows and hopes for a potential reunion.
According to a source close to the situation, Affleck is feeling optimistic now that De Armas is back on the market. “He’s planning to test the waters and see what his chances are for a reunion,” the insider revealed to Globe of the Alistister. Their history is laden with undeniable chemistry, having initially sparked a romance on the set of their 2020 erotic thriller “Deep Water.” However, their relationship crumbled in January 2021, largely due to the chaos of the pandemic and Affleck’s personal struggles, including his battle with alcohol addiction.
Despite moving on with Jennifer Lopez, Affleck has not been able to shake off his feelings for De Armas. “He would bring her up to friends and talk about how great she is,” the source added, indicating that the Oscar winner has kept her memory alive even as he navigated his two-year marriage to Lopez. The timing might not have been right back then, but now, with both stars seemingly in a better place, Affleck is ready to explore the possibility of rekindling their romance.
“Ben is much more grounded these days,” the source explained, suggesting that his recent personal growth could pave the way for a healthier relationship. “Plus, Ana’s had a ton of success since they broke up, and that only makes Ben more attracted to her.” With De Armas’s rising star power and Affleck’s newfound stability, the stage seems set for a potential second act.
As the dust settles on her breakup with Cruise, De Armas’s next moves are being closely watched. The actress has been on an impressive trajectory, garnering acclaim for her performances and solidifying her status as a Hollywood A-lister. Whether she feels the same spark for Affleck remains to be seen, but the actor is willing to take the risk. “Who knows if she will feel the same, but he’s willing to take the risk,” the source noted, encapsulating the uncertainty that defines love in the spotlight.
With both stars now navigating their respective paths, fans are left to wonder: will romance blossom anew, or will this be yet another chapter in their complicated love story? As the entertainment world holds its breath, one thing is for certain—this is a story that promises to keep unfolding.
