Ana de Armas actually brought Tom Cruise to her estate in Vermont

Correction…. I wrongly gave credit to Tom Cruise for planning what I thought was a romantic weekend in Vermont with his new girlfriend Ana de Armas. As it turns out, it’s more than likely that Ana planned the getaway and that she invited Tom to spend some time at her Vermont estate. Before now, I had no idea that Ana even has a home in Vermont, but she talked about her 30-acre property last year! Imagine being born and raised in Cuba and coming to America to work and live, and then deciding “you know what, I’m going to buy a place in Vermont!” Plenty of people have second homes or vacation homes in Vermont, I’m not saying it’s weird. I’m just saying that it’s an interesting choice for Ana specifically. Anyway, it sounds like Ana really wanted to show Tom her favorite places in Vermont:

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas recently got a taste of Vermont life together. After photos of the Mission: Impossible star, 63, and Knives Out actress, 37, holding hands while out and about on a weekend getaway in the state surfaced, a source says the two have “become incredibly close.”

De Armas owns a home in Vermont. “Ana loves Vermont. It’s her place to rest and recharge,” the insider tells PEOPLE. “She was excited to host Tom and show him around. She took him to all her favorite spots.”

One of those spots was Billings Farm & Museum, which executive vice president Frances McLaughlin calls “a joyful place” and “wonderful way to spend a few hours.” She recalls that the two Oscar nominees “were out and about, like our other visitors, visiting the garden.” Guests at the farm have the chance to see farm animals, including sheep and dairy cows, adds McLaughlin.

“You get to pick maybe some herbs, make some butter, visit with an amazing quilt show with tons of just beautiful quilts made by Vermonters,” she says. “There’s ice cream, maple syrup and our own cheese to try.”

Cruise was also de Armas’ guest at a favorite bookstore in Woodstock, Vt. The Blonde star “really enjoys spending time with him,” says the source. “They’ve become incredibly close and Tom continues to be a huge support — both personally and professionally.”

A source confirmed to PEOPLE earlier this month that the Cuban actress is no longer dating Manuel Anido Cuesta as she focuses on collaborating with Cruise on their Doug Liman-directed thriller Deeper.

They went to a farm/museum and made butter??? The quilts though…in Tom’s place, I would have blown through the Mission: Impossible paycheck buying up all of the Vermont quilts. That sounds amazing, honestly. Anyway, Ana has spent enough time with Tom to understand what he’s all about. The fact that she brought him to Vermont makes it seem like she’s pursuing him too. Which might have always been the case – I still sort of believe that she really pursued his professional mentorship as well. The thought just occurred to me… does Ana think she can “fix” him?

  1. Vermont is where I was born and raised. It’s a beautiful state and I can see why she liked it so much but let’s leave the cult follower out of this state. If she is with him she is probably being recruited for the cult. Some people have said she is smart and wouldn’t do that but if you are with him you’re being recruited and that’s my opinion. He doesn’t seem to be with anyone who isn’t involved or wants to be involved with the cult. He isn’t even part of his biological daughters life and that’s because she is not part of the cult.

      I love Vermont. I drive over every year. My niece just literally built her home north of Brattleboro. Keep the cult leader out of New England completely. We don’t want him anywhere near us.

    • @susancollins …This is good to hear, I’ve always wanted to visit Vermont, and I think I might romanticize it a little bit, I always think of Diane Keaton in that movie ‘Baby Boom’. haha

      • I’m from the Burlington area which is right on Lake Champlain. It’s also not far from Stowe and the mountains and it’s beautiful in the fall months for their foliage!! There is lots to do and a wonderful museum in Shelburne. It’s a famous museum with Electra Havemyer Webbs collection of Americana. If you get a chance do visit Vermont I dont think you will be disappointed!

      I lived in Southern VT for 15 years and moved to NH 8 years ago – I can’t wait to go back to VT.

      VT wants Tom Cruise about as much as they wanted Alec Baldwin and his brood. There are a number of celebs that quietly live there (Treat Williams lived there when he was alive – his wife still lives in Dorset – he was the nicest, most low-key man). If Tom takes up with her, he won’t be ‘quiet’ about it and the locals won’t love it.

    She has bad taste in men, imo. However, she seems to make it out okay at least on the surface.

  3. MY3CENTS says:

    She’s 37? I thought she was so much younger. Well at least she’s old enough to have heard about him.

  4. Peanut Butter says:

    Vermont is gorgeous, and I can easily see the upside of having a place there.

    As for Ana de Armas, she appeals to me about as little as Sydney Sweeney does.

  5. CheekImplant says:

    She might be stupid enough to be a fixer. After all, she dated Ben Affleck, which is something no intelligent or rational woman should be doing at this point in his life.
    Like a commenter above stated, I’m about as interested in AdA as I am in Sidney Sweeney. AdA and SS are very pretty and both are talented but I’m so uninterested.
    Give me Jenna Ortega, Anna Suwai and lots of other talented young actresses.

  6. lucy2 says:

    I think Ana is beautiful and has star quality, but wow does her taste in men leave a lot to be desired.
    I was once a fan of Cruise’s. But now I know about him, the dangerous cult he’s high up in, how he treated his youngest child and most recent ex-wife. I wouldn’t want anything to do with him.

    The only other thought I had was “oh of course, they’re doing a film together” and I think both are on board with (fake) romances for publicity.

  7. j.ferber says:

    lucy2, What you say makes sense. I don’t think this is romantic and I hope to God she keeps her reason and does NOT say yes to the cult, no matter what Tom has or will do for her. She would never be free of it (or Tom either). Run, Ana!

  8. therese says:

    Yes, how did that go for Katie Holmes, if she did marry him for her career? I would say it ruined her career. Ana is a grown up, but I would hope she extricates herself as soon as possible after the movie and follow-up is over. She can have a much better career on her own. Without Cruise. He just seems so fake. The actress that was with Cruise in the last Mission Impossible slipped away after, and good for her.
