**Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas Split After Eight-Month Romance**

After an eight-month whirlwind romance, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have gone their separate ways. Insiders revealed to RadarOnline.com that the split was due to the pair being unable to “figure it out as a couple.”
Instead of forcing their May-December relationship to work after nearly a year of dating, Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37, “ended up realizing that they should keep it professional.”
### Details of the Split
Sources noted that while the former couple weren’t a romantic match, “they wanted to save the future of their friendship and their movie.” Since being romantically linked in February, many critics speculated that their relationship was merely a PR stunt.
Cruise was reportedly “showering Ana with gifts,” and the pair were frequently seen at high-profile events, including David Beckham’s 50th birthday party and the recent Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium. Despite Cruise’s grand gestures, the romance ultimately couldn’t last.
Although their relationship didn’t reach the one-year mark, insiders insist the romance was genuine. One source explained, “They got together to see if they would be able to work together, and that developed into something more, which neither of them expected. Like any good movie, it all comes to an end, and that was the case for Tom and Ana.”
### Cruise’s Dating History and Relationship Challenges
Insiders also pointed out that Cruise’s dating history has often been complicated, as “people either fall in love with him or jump off the train because it’s too hard to keep up.” According to sources, the 37-year-old de Armas was no different and found the action star “hard to resist.”
Unlike some of Cruise’s past breakups, insiders claim there has been “no pettiness” this time around, as both realized their future together would be best kept to friendship. While the split is said to be amicable, insiders did not consider a reconciliation likely, noting that the Top Gun star “usually doesn’t go back to the well.”
### Scientology and the Relationship
Throughout their romance, many critics suggested that Cruise’s strict Scientology beliefs would complicate matters. RadarOnline.com previously reported that de Armas had started to explore the Church of Scientology, where Cruise has been a prominent member for decades.
An insider revealed, “Tom has always been upfront that Scientology comes first in his life, and Ana hasn’t pushed back – she’s welcomed it. She’s been sitting down with leading members of the church and taking a real interest. For Tom, that means the world. He feels he’s finally with someone who won’t just tolerate his beliefs, but actually embrace them.”
However, when asked if Scientology played a role in the breakup, a separate source dismissed this idea. The insider stated the religion did not impact their decision to part ways, explaining the couple “didn’t go deep enough or last long enough for Scientology to make or break their relationship.”
