Rumours had been swirling that Tom Cruise was going to take the next step in his romance with Ana de Armas and bring her to David Beckham’s 50th birthday party with some of his close pals.

And while Tom Cruise, 62, had seemingly arrived on his own at the swanky celebrations at Notting Hill’s Core restaurant on Saturday night, hours later the facade dropped as he was spotted leaving in a car with the actress, 37.

The couple made an effort to hide their relationship as they left the venue in the early hours shielded by umbrellas, before ducking behind the car seats as they sat together in the back of the vehicle.

While they were trying to conceal their appearance together, bleary-eyed Tom appeared to find the whole thing quite amusing as he was spotted laughing and smiling as their sneaky moment was caught on camera.

Ana, who was wearing an elegant strappy black dress, meanwhile kept her head down as she avoided being pH๏τographed with Tom, following their earlier best efforts to keep their joint attendance quiet.

Earlier in the evening, Tom made a low-key arrival at the celebration, following a series of reports that his girlfriend Ana was also invited to the star-studded event.

Instead, Tom appeared to arrive solo, spotted sitting in the back of a black cab as he pulled up to the exclusive venue.

She had joined Tom in London earlier this week as they both jetted into the capital ahead of Ana’s own birthday on April 30.

For the Beckham party, Tom looked dapper in a crisp white tuxedo jacket, paired with black trousers and a classic black bow tie.

The Hollywood legend briefly chatted with security before being ushered inside, as staff attempted to shield the entrance of the event with large black umbrellas.

Top Gun actor Tom forged a close friendship with power couple David and Victoria in the early 2000s. He made an appearance at Victoria’s milestone 50th birthday last year.

Tom and Ana have been linked together since Valentine’s Day this year.

They appeared to confirm their love affair is real as they flew into London together this week, just days before her 37th birthday.

In exclusive pH๏τos obtained by the Daily Mail, Hollywood icon Tom looked giddy as he piloted a helicopter into the UK capital with the brunette actress by his side.

Also spotted leaving the party was fellow Hollywood star Eva Longoria and her husband José Bastón.

David has already celebrated with a black tie pre-birthday bash in Miami, a family gathering at his £10 million home in the Cotswolds and a day out with his brood in France on Friday.

But the celebrations continued with an intimate dinner party at Core by Clare Smyth, which has no less than three Michelin stars – with flowers and music equipment arriving at the venue earlier in the day.

Eva was seen leaving the A-list event in an incredible plunging blue satin gown, while Jose looked smart in a black tuxedo.

Elsewhere, Gordon Ramsay cut a dapper figure in a white tuxedo, while his wife Tana wowed in a pale blue satin dress as they left the party.

Wife Victoria was by his side at the star-studded event, alongside their kids, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper. Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriends Kim Turnbull, 24, and Jackie Apostel, 29, also attended the party.

It was exclusively revealed in a Mail+ article that Brooklyn, 26, and his actress wife Nicola Peltz , 30, didn’t attend the party.

Katie Hind revealed that the famously-close Beckhams have been torn apart by a rift with Brooklyn no longer speaking to the family – and his wife Nicola is seemingly at the heart of the feud.

Brooklyn was a no show at all of David’s event this week, all the more surprising because Brooklyn and Nicola have been in London since last week, having jetted in from their Los Angeles home.

They had been invited to all three parties and up to the last hours on each occasion, the family had hoped they would attend. But, says one source, ‘each time Brooklyn left his parents hanging’.

The latest dinner they missed was a posh seven-course menu at the restaurant starts from £420 per person, including wine pairing.

Earlier in the day, David and his family were seen arriving back in London after an overnight stay in Paris to mark the star’s 50th.

The former footballer was inundated with love from Victoria and his children Romeo and Cruz as they took social media to wish the star a happy birthday on Friday.

The family marked the milestone with a luxury trip to the French capital as they flew off in their £40million private jet.

The family flew out of Oxford on the Friday for a wine-soaked stop in Bordeaux, before heading to Paris for a swanky dinner to toast the big 50.

They were also joined by staff and seen hauling off bags packed with Dior suits, designer gear, and enough premium whisky and rum to stock a Chelsea cocktail bar.

David even made sure to tip ground staff at Luton Airport with £20 each as a thank-you before the group headed back to London ahead of the next set of celebrations.

The star’s Rolls Royce picked them up from the runway, while Romeo headed off in his own Defender.

Earlier this week David’s 50th celebrations kicked off early with a huge wild family party at his lavish £10m Cotswolds home.
