Ana de Armas’ love life has become international news.

The “Knives Out” star first raised eyebrows back in November when she was spotted looking romantic with Manuel Anido Cuesta in Madrid.

The 27-year-old lawyer’s mother, Lis Cuesta Peraza, is married to Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the first leader outside the Castro family to govern the country in decades.

But three months later, de Armas, who is also from Cuba, was photographed leaving a London eatery with someone completely new and mega famous. That would be Tom Cruise, and they were looking pretty cozy, too.

On Friday, this unlikely pair was seen yet again in the British capital arriving at a heliport. So what’s going on?

According to People magazine, not that much.

Cruise, 62, and de Armas, 36, weren’t alone during their initial meal together (agents were in tow), and the reason they are hanging out is business related. The “friends” are “discussing potential collaborations down the line,” a source told the outlet.

Come to think of it, we could totally see the “Deep Water” star as a force to be reckoned with in a future “Mission Impossible” flick. The eighth installment in the action series, “The Final Reckoning,” hits theaters in May 23, and with Cruise’s stamina, you know he’ll be making these flicks until he’s in the nursing home.

That said, we have every reason to believe that de Armas is still with Anido Cuesta. Despite attempting to go incognito, they’ve been out and about since the February story about her and Cruise went viral, and we await another sighting with bated breath.

Don’t look for her Instagram for a relationship status or clues. The Oscar nominee’s latest post pays homage to her “precious little boy” who just turned 17. Elvis, by the way, is a Maltese.
