Ana de Armas, a 37-year-old Cuban actress, was seen in the company of Brazilian businessman Marcelo Valente in Los Angeles, in the United States, in early November 2025. The meeting took place shortly after the end of her relationship with actor Tom Cruise, announced in October of the same year. Valente, 39 years old and born in Salvador, Bahia, has lived in the Californian city for a decade and works in the technology and biotechnology investment sector.
Photographs released show the couple on a casual walk through the city streets and at a concert by singer Dua Lipa. The images captured the two in moments of lively conversation, although without public displays of intense affection. To date, neither Ana de Armas nor Marcelo Valente have issued official statements about the nature of the relationship, which has generated speculation in entertainment outlets.
Professional trajectory of Marcelo Valente
Marcelo Valente founded the company Shepherd, based in Los Angeles, in 2017, focused on the connection between entertainment and technology. The company serves clients such as actress Cleo Pires, presenter Sergio Marone and fighter Anderson Silva, promoting partnerships between artists and startups.
As a partner at Babel Ventures, a biotechnology venture capital company, Valente attracts investors for innovative projects. His work facilitates the expansion of Brazilian brands in American markets, with an emphasis on international collaborations.
His routine in Los Angeles allows him to attend artistic events, which explains his proximity to Hollywood figures.
Passado amoroso no Brasil
Valente manteve relacionamentos com personalidades brasileiras antes de se estabelecer nos Estados Unidos. Em 2005, ele namorou a cantora Ivete Sangalo, quando tinha 19 anos e ela 33.
Outros affairs incluem a apresentadora Daniella Cicarelli e a empresária Fernanda Rolim, ambos no início dos anos 2010. Esses episódios ocorreram durante visitas frequentes ao país natal.
A discrição em sua vida pessoal persiste, com perfil privado no Instagram, que conta com cerca de 16 mil seguidores.
Contexto do término com Tom Cruise
O romance entre Ana de Armas e Tom Cruise durou cerca de nove meses em 2025, iniciando em fevereiro. Os dois foram flagrados em compromissos p�public as of July, but close sources indicate incompatibilities as a factor in the separation.
Cruise, 63 years old, prioritized filming films such as “Mission: Impossible – The Final Hit”, released in May 2025. Ana, in turn, promoted the spin-off “Bailarina”, in June, which required constant travel.
The decision to break up came from the actress, who was looking for a better balance between career and private life.
