Tom Cruise is no stranger to the spotlight, but his recent rumored romance with singer Victoria Canal has everyone buzzing. The “Mission: Impossible” star, 62, and the talented 25-year-old singer first crossed paths at the Glastonbury Festival in June. Since then, their close friendship has sparked speculation about a potential romantic relationship. Here’s the inside scoop on what’s really happening between Cruise and Canal.
Victoria Canal Sets the Record Straight
On Monday, Victoria Canal took to Instagram to address the swirling romance rumors head-on. “Guys, this is literally bonkers, but apparently the tabloids think I am dating Tom Cruise. I’m deceased.💀” she wrote. “Let’s just stop this in its tracks – I’m sorry to bum u out but I am not dating the man, albeit a lovely person & artist. lol never thought I would have to clarify that out loud in my life. Y’all. If you’re gonna write me up @pagesix use a better picture damn 🥲 (huge perk: first time I’m Spanish-American singer Victoria Canal and not one-armed pianist whose name remains unmentioned!!!! there’s always a win somewhere, thanks Tom.)”
A Respectful Mentor and Friend
Victoria continued, emphasizing the platonic nature of her relationship with Cruise. “In all seriousness guys, Tom has been nothing but a respectful and encouraging person and mentor, much like Chris Martin, my dad, my music teachers, and other wise people that have learned a lot from living. And again, I am friends with all kinds of people who are very different from me. You learn a lot if you’re open to life bringing you those teachers.”
Glastonbury Meeting and Growing Friendship
Tom Cruise was spotted in the VIP section as Victoria Canal joined Coldplay for their set at the Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. A source told Page Six that their friendship turned romantic recently after their initial meeting at Glastonbury. Cruise reportedly invited Canal to the set of “Mission: Impossible 8,” currently filming in Oxfordshire. An insider shared with The Sun, “Tom invited Victoria to watch him film for the whole day and that is just not something he does for his random friends. It might have seemed unlikely that they would become anything more than friends, but they are pretty much inseparable.”
Flying High Together
Their friendship hit new heights—literally—when Victoria hitched a ride with Tom in his helicopter for the London premiere of “Twisters,” starring his “Maverick” co-star Glen Powell. She posted on Instagram, “Not Tom Cruise flying me & my brother in a heli to the @twistersmovie premiere !!!! lolol.”
Concert Companions
Tom and Victoria also attended Bruce Springsteen’s concert together last week. She posted a backstage photo, captioning it, “I should promote my song (California Sober) coming out at midnight but I’m too busy watching Bruce with the most random friend I’ve ever made! xxxx.”
