Hollywood action icon Tom Cruise is reportedly devastated following his breakup with actress Ana de Armas, with sources claiming the actor now fears he may be 'undateable'.

Insiders close to the Mission: Impossible star shared that the 63-year-old actor had 'high hopes' for his relationship with the Knives Out actress. Cruise was apparently considering the 37-year-old star as a potential fourth wife.

But after what sources describe as a 'messy split', Cruise is said to be left embarrassed and heartbroken.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas' Short-Lived Relationship

Dating earlier this year, insiders told the National Enquirer that De Armas was quickly swept off her feet by the allure of Cruise's star power. Going from Batman actor Ben Affleck to a huge movie star was an 'excitement' for the actress, especially as her friends earlier described Cruise as 'charming and attentive'.

Sources say 'everything seemed perfect' for De Armas, but things reportedly changed once the initial thrill faded.

Eventually, Cruise's intensity and desire for control began to strain the relationship, making De Armas feel 'suffocated' and 'micromanaged'.

Reports also suggested that Cruise had been preparing to ask for the Cuban actress' hand and eventually announce what would be a high-profile engagement before things took a turn. Just as he was ready to take the next step, De Armas allegedly asked for space.

Friends close to the couple said Cruise felt blindsided, especially since the relationship has brought massive public attention to both stars. Even De Armas herself was not safe from online sleuths, who assumed that things were getting serious between the two after she was caught liking a shady post about Cruise's ex-wife, Nicole Kidman.

Tom Cruise Feels Used by Ana de Armas After Split

Despite going silent after the split, insiders are saying the Mission Impossible actor believes that De Armas may have benefited more from their relationship than he did, following the actress' comment about his 'micromanaging' ways.

While there have been no official statements from the actress, comments revealed by her close friends are reportedly adding fuel to the fire, and may shape up for a 'messy split'.

Those close to the actor say this heartbreak feels eerily familiar. For Cruise, who has been divorced three times, from Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes, he fears he may not find love again. 'He's been through this cycle before, intense passion followed by emotional burnout', said one insider. In response to the 'controlling' narrative, insiders say that Cruise only gives his all in relationships, an intensity that may become too much for his partners.

As for reconciliation, reports are saying the two are keeping things strictly casual in case their upcoming movie resumes. Cruise continued to throw himself into upcoming film projects, but friends admit that his confidence may have taken a hit.

Meanwhile, sources close to Ana De Armas say she's chosen to focus on her career and personal growth. Fresh off her latest projects, the actress is still putting a hold on her love life, and has no 'bad blood' with Tom Cruise.
