Cuban-American actress Ana de Armas became a household name after the release of the 2019 film «Knives Out», - in which she played a sweet maid who was accused of murdering a wealthy old patriarch she cared for as a home nurse. With fame, of course, comes increased interest from fans in her personal life, especially true for Ana. Of course, dating an A-list actor like Ben Affleck did nothing to stop the press from being interested in her personal life.
Now that her romance with Ben has long ended, Ana’s personal life has become more private. Currently, she is dating the CEO of a technology company who invented the video-sharing app Wheel, which was later acquired by Tinder. Even before her entrepreneurial boyfriend and Ben, Ana dated several other successful men — and was even married. Keep reading to learn about Ana de Armas' romantic history, including her rumored relationship with Tom Cruise.
Ana and Tom first sparked romance rumors in February 2025 and further after they were spotted at several seemingly friendly gatherings together. After months of dodging questions and playing cat and mouse, Tom and Ana were seen on a discreet date in Vermont, holding hands, as seen in photos published by TMZ.
Ana de Armas and the Tinder executive dated from 2021 to 2024. «Paul and Ana were introduced to each other through friends», - a source told Page Six at the time. «He is based in Austin, but splits his time between Texas and Santa Monica. He spent a lot of time with Ana before she left the US to film her new movie». The insider also claimed that by that time, Paul had introduced Ana to some members of his family, and their relationship had been developing for several months.
The couple lived together in New York, according to Elle. One of the reported factors contributing to Ana and Ben’s breakup was that she did not want to be tied down to Los Angeles, especially after their relationship was so publicly discussed. Explaining her decision to leave the City of Angels, she previously told Elle: «Going through [it] myself, I confirmed my thoughts that 'this is not the place for me.' It became a bit too much. No way out. No way to leave». She added: «Always feeling like you’re missing something, something is missing. It’s a city that makes you feel anxious».
Very little is known about Paul, as he does not have Instagram and his Twitter account is private. As for his professional life, Paul became a vice president at Tinder after the popular dating app acquired Wheel. According to his LinkedIn account, he studied at Loyola Marymount University. He grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and graduated from Bishop Kelley High School, according to his 2016 interview with Entrepreneur.
Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas met while filming the movie «Deep Water», - which was released in March 2021. They started dating in early 2020 and officially became a couple by March of the same year, when they went on a romantic trip to Cuba. At the time, a person who met them in Cuba claimed that the duo was definitely dating. «They were glowing», - an observer told Page Six. «I saw Ana take Ben’s hand when they walked out together, they looked happy — she’s absolutely stunning! I’m absolutely sure they’re dating».
After that, the cute couple was spotted in Los Angeles during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, whether it was taking a stroll in Hollywood, full of hugs, or shopping with Ben’s children, whom he shares with his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner. They were also seen on the coast during a vacation in Costa Rica shortly after their trip to Cuba.
Speaking of Ben’s children, a source close to the hot new couple told HollywoodLife exclusively in June 2020 that Ben introduced Ana to his children with Jennifer Garner’s approval. «He definitely didn’t just blindly introduce them and, of course, discussed it with Jen before doing so. They really co-parent very well together»
