Tom Cruise’s professional life may be remarkable, but he continues to struggle in his personal life, unable to find lasting love following his reported breakup with Ana de Armas.

According to a recent report by RadarOnline, the 63-year-old actor and film producer has realised that while his career continues to rise, his love life has taken a backseat.

"Tom's work will always come first, regardless of who he's dating," an insider told the outlet.

The source added, "That's been a major issue over the years. He puts on a brave face but he’s clearly lonely right now."

Cruise’s tendency to impress his partners with extravagant and expensive gestures during the early stages of a relationship has reportedly worked against him. The pattern has been seen in his relationships with de Armas and his former wife, Katie Holmes.

"He's so hyper-intense with the women he's dating," the tipster explained. "The way he jumps into everything can be a turn-off."

Perhaps this is because the Mission: Impossible star often appears more focused on impressing than on building a deeper connection.

The confidant further noted that his behaviour can be seen as "high-end love bombing," adding, "Tom's the master of grand gestures, he loves to whisk women away in his private jet and treat them like princesses."

The insider shared that once the initial excitement fades or relationships begin to deepen, Cruise tends to lose interest.

"Tom's better at the big, grand gestures than he is at day-to-day intimacy," the source said. "That's his Achilles' heel."

The report comes a few months after his alleged split from de Armas, following reports that the two had been romantically involved for nearly nine months.
