Rumours had been swirling that Tom Cruise was going to take the next step in his romance with Ana de Armas and bring her to David Beckham’s 50th birthday party with some of his close pals.

And while Tom Cruise, 62, had seemingly arrived on his own at the swanky celebrations at Notting Hill’s Core restaurant on Saturday night, hours later the facade dropped as he was spotted leaving in a car with the actress, 37.

The couple made an effort to hide their relationship as they left the venue in the early hours shielded by umbrellas, before ducking behind the car seats as they sat together in the back of the vehicle before heading off.

While they were trying to conceal their appearance together, bleary-eyed Tom appeared to find the whole thing quite amusing as he was spotted laughing and smiling as their sneaky moment was caught on camera.

Ana, who was wearing an elegant strappy black dress, meanwhile kept her head down as she avoided being photographed with Tom, following their earlier best efforts to keep their joint attendance quiet.

Earlier in the evening, Tom made a low-key arrival at the celebration, following a series of reports that his girlfriend Ana was also invited to the star-studded event.

Instead, Tom appeared to arrive solo, spotted sitting in the back of a black cab as he pulled up to the exclusive venue.

She had joined Tom in London earlier this week as they both jetted into the capital ahead of Ana’s own birthday on April 30.

For the Beckham party, Tom looked dapper in a crisp white tuxedo jacket, paired with black trousers and a classic black bow tie.

The Hollywood legend briefly chatted with security before being ushered inside, as staff attempted to shield the entrance of the event with large black umbrellas.

Top Gun actor Tom forged a close friendship with power couple David and Victoria in the early 2000s. He made an appearance at Victoria’s milestone 50th birthday last year.

Tom and Ana have been linked together since Valentine’s Day this year.

They appeared to confirm their love affair is real as they flew into London together this week, just days before her 37th birthday.

In exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Hollywood icon Tom looked giddy as he piloted a helicopter into the UK capital with the brunette actress by his side.
