Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell split up once again - just weeks after it was suggested their romance was rekindled.

However, this time, the relationship is terminated forever, as Holliywood stars have realized that they are better as friends than lovers.

Initially, it was reported that 59-year-old Tom and 40-year-old Hayley had a romance in 2020 after they worked together on the filming of "Mission Impossible 7".

But the romance ended last summer - as speculation erupted last month that they had reunited after Hayley appeared alongside Tom at the premiere of "Top Gun: Maverick" in London.

"Tom and Hayley's relationship was real.

"Despite some rumors to the contrary, it has never been just for the cameras, unfortunately it has not worked for them," a source told The Sun on Sunday (June 12th).

"They are having a great time and have fantastic chemistry, so they quietly decided to give the relationship another try earlier this year," the source told the

Mirror.

The source went on to suggest that the fact that their rekindled romance had been made public scared the couple and made them split up again, adding: "Now they have decided they are better as friends."

Doubts about the reunion arose in mid-May when Hayley joined Tom at a royal premiere of the sequel to "Top Gun in London."

"Hayley's last-minute decision to attend the star-studded event in London's Leicester Square shows how close she and Tom have become again after the split last year," the source said at the time.

While both Tom and Hayley have been close about their reported romance, a source claimed last September that work commitments caused their first split.

"It was a very intense period of filming together.

They went really well - and obviously both are Hollywood stars, so it became a good match.

"But while the last film is over, they have decided to return to friends," said a relative of the former couple.

"Their shooting schedules are very busy, and Tom has a number of other engagements coming up and he's always shooting around by private helicopter and plane, so he did it himself," said the same source.
