Ana de Armas Sparks Backlash With Shady Move on Nicole Kidman Post Amid Tom Cruise Romance Buzz
Ana de Armas has found herself in the middle of a growing Hollywood storm after eagle eyed fans spotted her liking a controversial Instagram post about Nicole Kidman. The seemingly small action has now triggered waves of speculation, as it comes during ongoing rumors of a romance between de Armas and Kidman’s famous ex husband, Tom Cruise.
The Instagram post in question was originally shared in February by the celebrity gossip page @celebmess. It compared old photos of Nicole Kidman from 1996 with a more recent image, all while casting doubt on the actress’s claims about never having had cosmetic procedures.
The caption quoted a 2007 interview Kidman gave to Marie Claire, where she insisted she was completely natural. “To be honest, I am completely natural,” Kidman said in the article. “I take good care of myself. I wear sunscreen and I do not smoke.”
However, the meme added a sarcastic edge. It featured the iconic line “Sure, Jan” and played the Spice Girls song “Denying” in the background, suggesting that Kidman’s claims may not be entirely believable. That tone did not sit well with many fans of the Oscar winning actress.
When Ana de Armas’s official Instagram account was found among the list of likes on that post, fans immediately took notice. Reactions came swiftly, with some accusing the Cuban born star of throwing subtle shade at Kidman.
“She liked that? Really?” one shocked fan wrote. “This is messy and totally unnecessary.” Another added, “Even if she agrees, why interact with something that tears another woman down? Especially one who paved the way for so many.”
Supporters of Nicole Kidman rushed to defend her, pointing out that the comparison photos were manipulated. “They had to edit Nicole Kidman to even give the illusion she could have aged badly,” one user noted. “Nicole is still stunning and aging with grace.”
While Ana de Armas has yet to comment publicly on the situation, her subtle online move has only added fuel to the rumors swirling around her and Tom Cruise. The two actors are currently working together on an upcoming thriller, and have been spotted out in public several times.
In one viral moment, the two were photographed holding hands as they exited an Oasis concert. Though neither has confirmed a romance, the internet has been buzzing with talk of a possible off screen connection between the two stars.

Still, Ana addressed the speculation in a May interview on Good Morning America. She called working with Cruise “so much fun” and emphasized that their relationship is purely professional. “It is the opportunity of a lifetime,” she said of the film project.
Sources close to the actress have echoed that sentiment. An insider told People magazine that Ana sees Cruise as a mentor and role model. “She has nothing but admiration for him,” the source shared. “He has been supportive and kind, but there is nothing romantic going on.”
Even so, her like on a post targeting Cruise’s ex wife raises eyebrows about where she really stands. Was it just a harmless scroll through social media, or a subtle sign of deeper feelings?
Some fans are convinced it was no accident. “Celebrities know exactly what they’re doing on social media,” one commenter posted. “They know every like is watched. This was intentional.”
Others argue that the backlash is overblown. “People need to relax,” one supporter wrote. “Liking a post does not mean she hates Nicole Kidman.”
Whether accidental or deliberate, Ana de Armas’s online activity has managed to draw even more attention to a rumored romance that has Hollywood talking.
As the spotlight grows on Ana, Tom, and Nicole’s tangled triangle, only time will tell whether this Instagram drama was a one time mistake or the first sign of something far more complicated.
