Let’s cut to the chase: Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise are the Hollywood couple sparking endless debates in 2025. From helicopter rides to hand-holding in Vermont, their relationship has been playing out like a rom-com directed by Christopher McQuarrie. But the real drama isn’t just about their 26-year age gap or their globe-trotting dates, it’s about one loaded question: Is Ana de Armas becoming a Scientologist?
For months, tabloids and fans have been dissecting every clue. Cruise, a high-profile Scientologist for decades, has a well-documented history of relationships where the Church played a pivotal role. His ex-wives—Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes—both reportedly clashed with Scientology’s influence, and Holmes famously left the marriage (and the Church) to protect their daughter, Suri. Now, with Ana in the picture, the speculation is louder than ever. Is she just casually dating Cruise, or is she diving headfirst into his world of OT levels and e-meters? Let’s break it down.

The Scientology Factor: What We Know So Far
First, the basics: Ana de Armas was raised Catholic in Cuba, and her family’s faith is a big part of her identity. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise isn’t just a Scientologist; he’s one of its most powerful figures, often described as the “face” of the Church. According to insiders, the two have already had “discussions” about how Scientology might fit into their relationship. One source even claimed, “His Scientologist beliefs are not a dealbreaker for Ana. She is her own woman.”
But here’s where it gets tricky. Scientology has strict rules about relationships. While the Church technically allows members to marry non-Scientologists (as long as they’re not “Suppressive Persons”), Cruise’s past suggests he prefers partners who are all-in. Mimi Rogers introduced him to Scientology, Kidman and Holmes studied it during their marriages, and both relationships reportedly ended over tensions with the Church. So, if Ana and Tom are serious, the pressure to convert, or at least participate, could be real.

Rumors hit a fever pitch in July 2025 when the couple was spotted in Vermont, looking cozy and very much not like two people just discussing script notes for their upcoming film Deeper. Critics immediately zeroed in on the Scientology angle, with one Twitter user bluntly stating, “She’s definitely going to join Scientology, after all, Tom has a fortune.” Others pointed out that Cruise’s past suggests he wouldn’t be in a long-term relationship with someone who doesn’t at least tolerate his beliefs.
The Bigger Picture: Ana’s Choices and the Hollywood Machine
Ana de Armas isn’t new to controversy. She dated Ben Affleck during the pandemic (and faced paparazzi chaos), then later sparked backlash for her relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba’s authoritarian president. Now, with Cruise, she’s navigating a different kind of scrutiny. Some fans worry she’s walking into a trap, given Scientology’s reputation for isolating members from critics and family. Others argue she’s a grown woman making her own decisions, even if those decisions involve gold bracelets from Tom and impromptu helicopter rides.
What’s clear is that Ana hasn’t publicly addressed the Scientology rumors. She’s praised Cruise professionally, calling his support for her film Ballerina “surreal,” but she’s stayed silent on the personal side. Meanwhile, Cruise’s camp has pushed back against claims that their relationship is a PR stunt for Mission: Impossible or Deeper.

So, where does that leave us? As of late July 2025, there’s no confirmation that Ana’s taken any Scientology courses or met with David Miscavige. But if history repeats itself, the next few months could be telling. Will she follow in Kidman and Holmes’ footsteps, or will she become the latest star to embrace Cruise’s world? One thing’s for sure: this saga isn’t ending with a quiet yacht trip to Menorca. Stay tuned.
