Actress Ana de Armas is facing backlash after fans noticed she “liked” an Instagram post that mocked fellow actress Nicole Kidman’s appearance. The controversy sparked debates online, especially because Kidman is the former wife of de Armas’ rumored boyfriend, Tom Cruise.
The Controversial Post
The viral post, originally shared by the Instagram account @celebmess on February 6, showed a red carpet photo of Nicole Kidman, who is now 58 years old and an Oscar winner. The post appeared to mock Kidman for allegedly using facial fillers. It included a sarcastic meme that used the phrase “Sure, Jan,” a popular internet expression meant to express disbelief. The post also referenced a past interview where Kidman insisted she was “completely natural” and had never used Botox. Additionally, a dermal filler brand was tagged in the image, intensifying the criticism.
Public Reaction to Ana’s “Like”
Once fans saw that Ana de Armas had liked the post, many voiced strong disapproval across social media platforms like Instagram and Reddit. Some called the action “nasty,” while others questioned her motives.
One Instagram user asked, “Why did Ana de Armas like this?” Another user commented, “Tom Cruise is NK’s ex-husband, but from 20 years ago. So it is nuts she cares.” A third added, “That’s kind of nasty actually.”
Speculation also grew that Ana’s apparent support for the post might be related to her rumored romantic relationship with Tom Cruise, who was once married to Kidman.

Ana and Tom Cruise have been surrounded by dating rumors since February. The two are working on upcoming thriller films directed by Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie. Off the set, their growing closeness has caught the media’s attention.
A report by Daily Mail revealed that Cruise has been spoiling Ana with gifts, including designer jewelry, books, flowers, and even organizing surprise international getaways. One insider claimed that Cruise spent £4,000 (around $5,369) to arrange a private helicopter ride to Heathrow Airport, ensuring de Armas didn’t miss her flight to New York City.
