Spanish-American singer Victoria Canal, known for her recent performance with Coldplay, has discredited rumors surrounding her relationship status with Hollywood megastar, Tom Cruise. Victoria used Instagram, the popular social media platform, to clarify the rumors, dismissing them as ‘bonkers.’
Rumor Mill in Action
Rumblings about a possible romance between Cruise and Canal began to circulate after the pair was spotted together at the Glastonbury music festival. It was rumored that their friendship had rapidly progressed into a romantic relationship, due to several public outings together. Consequently, various media outlets indulged in speculative journalism surrounding their relationship status.
Victoria Douses the Romance Fire
Proactively addressing the brew of speculations, Canal posted on Instagram negating dating rumors. In her post, she emphasized that while Cruise is indeed a lovely person and artist, there were no romantic undertones to their relationship. She mentioned that Cruise, akin to Chris Martin, her dad, and her music teachers, has been a role model and reinforcement. She holds all these people in high regard, and they have played pivotal roles in her growth as an artist.
A Jibe at Page Six
Canal didn’t shy away from addressing Page Six, a key player in pumping the rumor mill. She remarked on the choice of the photo they used in publishing the rumors. Despite the controversy, Canal felt elated that for the first time, her identity was not tied to the amniotic band syndrome, a condition responsible for her right forearm absence.
Turning down the limelight
Cruise and Canal have indeed shared several moments together. They’ve been seen together at the Glastonbury festival, a Bruce Springsteen concert, and even the premiere of Twisters – a film that Cruise flew Canal out to see. Recently, Canal was reportedly invited to visit the filming set of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part II, an unlikely gesture from Cruise to a “random friend.”
Making the unlikely seem likely
An anonymous source, as reported by The Sun, pointed out that while it may have seemed unlikely that the pair could become more than friends, they were actually pretty much inseparable. When Cruise and Canal initially met at Glastonbury, they reportedly got along famously. Cruise’s split from Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova may have further fueled rumors of a budding relationship with Canal.
To wrap up
In the end, while the media buzzed with speculations, the reality is quite to the contrary. Victoria Canal has made clear in no uncertain terms that she’s not dating Tom Cruise. The pair seem to enjoy a deep bond of friendship, strengthened by their shared love of music and mutual respect for each other.
