Tom Cruise reportedly wants Ben Affleck, the former boyfriend of his rumored girlfriend Ana de Armas, to stay away and respect boundaries. According to a source cited by RadarOnline, Ben Affleck’s attempts to reach out to Ana de Armas have caused tension, and Cruise is not comfortable with Affleck’s efforts to reconnect. This situation has created unease between the actors involved.
Ben Affleck’s Efforts to Reconnect with Ana de Armas and the Source of Friction
The source revealed that although Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas ended their relationship amicably, Affleck has been contacting her recently, attempting to maintain some connection.
“Ben and Ana ended things as friends and vowed they would stay that way,”
the insider said. However, Ben has been trying to see what Ana is up to and has expressed interest in hanging out when they are in the same city.
Despite Affleck’s apparently casual approach, the source explained that
“the truth is he never had closure after they split.”
The former couple’s dynamic seems complicated, as Ben desires a relationship with Ana similar to the openness he maintains with his ex-wife, Jen Garner. This effort to stay in contact is viewed by Tom Cruise as unacceptable.
“For Cruise, though, that’s crossing the line,”
the source added.
Tom Cruise’s Distrust and Firm Boundaries Regarding Ben Affleck
The insider also described Cruise’s feelings regarding Ben Affleck’s involvement, emphasizing Cruise’s distrust.
“He still doesn’t like the idea of Ben being in the picture at all,”
the person remarked.
“Let’s put it this way – Tom trusts Ana, but he doesn’t trust Ben farther than he can throw him.”
The source made it clear that Tom Cruise expects Affleck to respect the boundaries set around Ana de Armas.
“As far as Tom is concerned, Ben ought to respect boundaries,”
they added. This lack of trust is fueling the ongoing discord between the parties.
