Katie Holmes found herself at the center of social media chatter after fans noticed her verified Instagram account allegedly “liked” a post showing ex-husband Tom Cruise with actress Ana de Armas. The post, shared by the Daily Mail in May 2025, featured the rumored couple in casual snapshots, and Holmes’ interaction—intentional or not—set off a wave of speculation online.

Though Holmes, 46, and Cruise, 63, divorced over a decade ago, their past still captures public interest. Some online users thought the like was a mistake, while others suggested it was a subtle message. Social media was quick to react—with some users drawing comparisons between Holmes and de Armas, while others defended Holmes, pointing out her long separation from Cruise and focus on her own life.

Redditors joked about the awkwardness of accidentally liking a post about an ex, with one commenting, “Imagine liking your ex’s post and ending up in the Daily Mail 💀.” Despite the stir, neither Holmes nor Cruise has addressed the incident. Their only ongoing link remains their daughter, Suri, now in her late teens.

Meanwhile, Cruise also stirred attention for revisiting his relationship with ex-wife Nicole Kidman. In a rare interview, he credited her for their joint film “Eyes Wide Shut,” sparking backlash from fans who questioned his motives. As both stars move forward, the public remains fascinated by the echoes of their shared past.
