Tom Cruise may be moving on from the Ana de Armas romance rumors after reports surfaced linking the actor to Pamela Anderson.
According to a Daily Mail report published May 16, Anderson is “making room for love in her life” after spending the past few years focused on her Hollywood comeback. The report claimed there was “definitely a spark” between the “Baywatch” icon and Cruise after he allegedly admired her performance in “The Last Showgirl.”
Neither Cruise nor Anderson has publicly confirmed the relationship rumors.
The speculation comes months after Cruise was linked to de Armas and shortly after Anderson addressed her brief romance with Liam Neeson.
Pamela Anderson Relationship Rumors Follow Hollywood Comeback
Anderson, 58, reportedly caught Cruise’s attention following her critically acclaimed role in “The Last Showgirl.”
A source told the Daily Mail that Anderson is open to romance again after focusing heavily on work.
“There was definitely a spark,” the insider claimed. “People have noticed it and mentioned it to Tom.”
Representatives for both stars have not publicly commented on the rumors.
Anderson has spent the past year back in headlines thanks to several high-profile projects and candid interviews about her personal life.
Earlier this year, she opened up to People magazine about her brief romance with “The Naked Gun” co-star Liam Neeson.
“If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,” Anderson said.
The actress described what she called an “intimate week” spent together in upstate New York.
“We were having fun,” she said. “I always was laughing when people thought, ‘Oh, that’s a publicity stunt.’ I’m like, ‘A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings.’”
Despite the romance, Anderson said the pair ultimately decided they were “better friends.”
“I adore Liam,” she added, “but we are better friends, in full honesty.”
Tom Cruise Has Been Linked to Several Stars Since Katie Holmes Divorce
Cruise’s personal life has remained a topic of public fascination since his 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes.
The actor famously began dating Holmes in 2005 during the height of what became known as “TomKat.” The couple married in Italy in 2006, after welcoming their daughter, Suri Cruise.
Before the Anderson rumors surfaced, Cruise was most recently linked to de Armas.
The pair fueled dating speculation throughout 2025 after they were repeatedly photographed together, including trips aboard Cruise’s helicopter.
Reports at the time claimed Cruise and the “Blonde” actress were spending increasing amounts of time together, though neither publicly confirmed a relationship.
The romance rumors appeared to cool by late 2025, although de Armas later confirmed plans to collaborate with Cruise on a future project.
Prior to that, Cruise faced years of speculation surrounding his relationship with “Mission: Impossible” co-star Hayley Atwell. However, Atwell firmly denied the rumors in an interview with The Independent.
“I see Tom as an uncle,” Atwell said at the time, calling the speculation “dirty.”
Cruise was also linked to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova in late 2023 before reports claimed the relationship ended in early 2024.
