Singer Victoria Canal has denied she is in a relationship with Tom Cruise.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter took to Instagram to shut down the rumours.
“guys, this is literally bonkers,” she wrote. “but apparently the tabloids think i am dating tom cruise. i’m deceased. i’m sorry to bum u out but i am not dating the man, albeit a lovely person & artist. lol never thought I would have to clarify that out loud in my life.”
The rumours started when Tom watched Victoria perform at Glastonbury festival earlier this year. The singer, who has been working closely with Chris Martin since 2022, joined Coldplay on stage for a set, and the actor was seen watching from the VIP area.
In July, the Swan Song singer posted a photo of her with Tom and Bruce Springsteen, writing, “i should promote my song (california sober) coming out at midnight but i’m too busy watching bruce with the most random friend i’ve ever made ! xxxx”
In her denial, she joked about the fact that the press weren’t mentioning the fact she only has one arm – a condition she was born with due to Amniotic Band Syndrome. She admitted she was thrilled to be known as “Spanish-American singer Victoria Canal and not one-armed pianist whose name remains unmentioned!!!! there’s always a win somewhere, thanks Tom.”
She finished her post by confirming the pair are friends, writing, “in all seriousness guys, tom has been nothing but a respectful and encouraging person and mentor, much like chris martin, my dad, my music teachers and other wise people that have learned a lot from living. and again, i am friends with all kinds of people who are very different to me. you learn a lot if you’re open to life bringing you those teachers.”
