Samantha Armytage address Tom Cruise romance rumours

The Sunrise host cosied up to Tom Cruise on set.

Is Samantha Armytage preparing to marry Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise and become the next queen of Scientology?

In short, no.

The Sunrise host took to social media to slam a report by Women’s Day that claimed the pair had been canoodling on secret late-night dates since meeting on the breakfast show last week.

The Women’s Day cover story about Armytage and Cruise.

Cruise appeared on Sunrise last week to promote his new movie and seemed to have a grand old time chatting to Armytage and co-host Kochie, even sharing the exclusive news that he will begin shooting Top Gun 2 later this year.

It appears Women’s Day wrote their story about the pair’s date nights without a shred of proof and failed to name any so-called sources either.

It’s not the first time the magazine has been accused of concocting stories about Sam and other celebrities.

In a media landscape riddled with accusations of fake news, readers have shown their frustration at publication, with readership declining by 13.5 per cent over 2015-16, according to Mumbrella

This morning, Armytage spoke out about the rumours of her relationship with Cruise again, laughing it off as Kochie gave her a grilling over the accusations.

Do you still buy weekly gossip magazines? Do you think they have changed over the years?
