Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas’ eight-month romance reportedly fizzled out because they “weren’t able to figure it out as a couple.”
“They ended up realizing that they should keep it professional,” a source told the Daily Mail Thursday, adding that the pair “wanted to save the future of their friendship and their movie.”
Cruise and de Armas, who were first linked in February, star in the forthcoming supernatural thriller “Deeper.”
“They got together to see if they would be able to work together, and that developed into something more, which neither of them expected,” the source said.
But “like any good movie,” the source continued, “it all comes to an end, and that was the case for Tom and Ana.”
The source described Cruise, 63, as polarizing, saying that “people either fall in love with him or jump off the train because it’s too hard to keep up.”
De Armas, 37, fell into that first category, as she reportedly found him “hard to resist.”
While there “is no pettiness” over how the duo’s relationship ended, the source noted that a reconciliation is unlikely because Cruise “usually doesn’t go back to the well.”
As for whether his longstanding involvement with the controversial Church of Scientology played a factor in their split, the source claimed the romance “didn’t go deep enough or last long enough for Scientology to make or break their relationship.”
The Sun reported Wednesday that the actor and the actress “aren’t dating anymore,” with a source explaining that the two no longer felt a “spark” and “realized they weren’t going to go the distance.”
The source stressed that Cruise and de Armas have “both been really adult” about the breakup and “still love each other’s company.”
“Tom and Ana had a good time together, but their time as a couple has run its course,” the source shared, insisting that they “are better off as mates” and will “remain good friends.”
The last time Cruise and de Armas were seen out together was in late July when they were photographed holding hands in Vermont during a low-key getaway.
Reps for the stars have not yet responded to Page Six’s repeated requests for comment.
