Victoria Canal Says Tabloid Rumors Of Romance With Tom Cruise Are ‘Bonkers’
LOS ANGELES, CA – Victoria Canal took to Instagram on Monday to shut down rumors of a romance with Tom Cruise.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter said the tabloid stories linking her romantically to the 62-year-old actor are “bonkers,” and he’s just a mentor.
“guys, this is literally bonkers, but apparently the tabloids think i am dating tom cruise. i’m deceased,” she wrote alongside a carousel of screenshots of tabloid headlines about her.
“let’s just stop this in its tracks – 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,” Canal wrote.
One “huge perk” of the false rumors, however, is that she was described in the articles as “Spanish-American singer Victoria Canal” for the “first time,” instead of “one-armed pianist whose name remains unmentioned.”
“there’s always a win somewhere, thanks Tom,” she wrote.
“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,” she wrote.
Canal also used the opportunity to let newcomers to her page know that she has two new singles out, “California Sober” and “June Baby.” Canal is kicking off a world tour with a performance at the Lowlands Festival in The Netherlands on Aug. 17.
