Tom Cruise and on/off again girlfriend Hayley Atwell have reportedly separated once more.The Mission: Impossible co-stars were rumoured to have split in September last year but were to ‘continue working together’, before supposedly reuniting.However, their romance doesn’t seem to have worked out, with the Top Gun actor, 59, and Captain America star, 40, deciding they’re better off as pals.The news comes just weeks after the pair attended the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in May, which insiders now say was purely for ‘support’.‘Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out for them.

They have now decided they are better as friends,’ a source told The Sun.‘They get on really well, and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year.‘But what was working behind closed doors didn’t work out so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again.‘They have now decided they are better as friends’.The source also clarified to the outlet that their romance was never a stunt or purely for the cameras, adding that their relationship was ‘genuine’.‘In spite of some rumours to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras,’ they assured.The former couple first got together in 2020 after meeting on the set of Mission: Impossible 7, a film slated for release next year after the pandemic halted production on several occasions.Tom, who plays Ethan Hunt in the action franchise, and Hayley, who plays Grace, got to know each other after filming took them to various locations, such as Rome, Venice, and Norway, as well as the UK – remember when they took over a Birmingham shopping centre?The actors have never explicitly confirmed a romance between them,.
