Heartbroken Tom Cruise reportedly feels “used” by Ana de Armas and fears he may never find love again after their short-lived romance.
Tom Cruise is reportedly reeling from heartbreak following his split from actress Ana de Armas, with insiders claiming the Mission: Impossible star feels “used” and “humiliated” after their whirlwind romance came to an emotional end.
The 63-year-old actor, who had been quietly dating the Knives Out star earlier this year, allegedly believed she could be his “forever love” — and was even considering proposing before things fell apart.
According to sources cited by the National Enquirer, Cruise had “high hopes” for the relationship and thought Ana might become his fourth wife. The two reportedly bonded over their shared passion for film and spent months together between projects. But while the connection started off strong, friends say things took a turn once Cruise’s trademark intensity began to surface.
“He gives 100 percent in everything he does — even in love,” one insider shared. “But for Ana, it quickly became too much. She started to feel controlled and suffocated.”
De Armas, 37, who previously dated Ben Affleck, was initially “swept off her feet” by Cruise’s charm and larger-than-life presence. However, when the excitement faded, she reportedly pulled away, asking for space just as Cruise was preparing to take the next step.
Sources say the actor was blindsided by the breakup, especially as public attention around their relationship began to grow.
Following the split, Cruise has allegedly been left feeling that De Armas benefited more from their time together — particularly as reports about his “micromanaging” behavior circulated online. “He feels she’s tarnished his image a bit,” a friend said, adding that Cruise believes he was genuine in his feelings and is now paying the emotional price.
This heartbreak, insiders note, feels all too familiar for Cruise, who has been married three times — to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. “He’s been through this cycle before — intense passion followed by disappointment,” said a close source. “Now he fears he may never find lasting love.”
While Cruise has thrown himself back into work, friends admit his confidence has taken a hit. Meanwhile, De Armas is said to be focusing on her career and personal growth, insisting there’s “no bad blood” between them.
For now, both stars appear ready to move forward — separately — as Cruise once again finds himself searching for love amid the spotlight.
