TomAna wants in

The shipping paid off – PEOPLE reported on Tuesday that Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are indeed dating as their relationship turned romantic after working on The Naked Gun together, so that was two Canadians joining the celebrity summer of love 2025 yesterday. 

I guess Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas wanted to crash the party because they’ve been photographed holding hands for the first time after months of speculation about their relationship.  TMZ has the full set here. 

Does this really count as a summer of love entry though? As noted, we’ve been watching these two on their helicopter rides in London since March. Once her dogs entered the chat, it was pretty obvious that they were hanging out on off-work time and that this wasn’t just business. The timing is interesting though… 

Please note that Tom and Ana were photographed in Vermont, not exactly bustling with paparazzi. These photos have been distributed by an agency that often gets exclusives that smell like they’ve been set up. So if that really is the case, why the soft launch this week? 

Just a couple of days ago, Ana made headlines on social media when she liked an old post that disparaged Nicole Kidman’s appearance. If you want to give her the benefit of the doubt, it could have been a thumb slip, or her social media manager f-cked up. Still, there’s no denying that someone with access to her account was scrolling and creeping. And that her algorithm is telling on her. But now no one is talking about this because we have new photos of her with Tom and they’re holding hands. Coincidence or conspiracy?
