Ana de Armas is keeping fans intrigued as reports of a romance with Hollywood legend Tom Cruise continue to circulate.
But prior to being spotted with the Mission: Impossible actor, 63, Cuban actress Ana, 37, reportedly purchased a $7 million home in Vermont to shield her from the spotlight.
In 2023, the star gushed about her quieter life away from Hollywood, deciding to live "off-grid" on the East Coast to E! News. "I feel like nowadays, we all want to go away from the craziness of the world," she explained.

It's always the feeling of something that you don't have, something missing. It's a city that keeps you anxious."

The house sale comes amid Ana's recent comments about her future baby plans. "I would like to have children and a family, soon if possible," Ana told Italian publication F Magazine. "But it doesn't just depend on me. As we know, love is unpredictable; you never know when true love will come. Relationships can't be controlled. Life is not a movie."
