The revelation comes as the seething superstar — overheard blasting staff for on-set Covid breaches — today shuts down filming for an early festive break.

He and Hayley, 20 years his junior at 38, have grown close while shooting scenes in Rome and the UK.

Tom has not had a long-term partner since splitting from ex-wife Katie Holmes. 

The pair have grown close on the set of latest movie, Mission Impossible 7, working both here and in Rome.

Last night a production source said: “Tom and Hayley hit it off from day one. 

“Lockdown, and all the difficulties that came with it, brought them even closer and they’ve become fairly inseparable. 

“They’ve been meeting up after hours, and she’s been to his London pad. They get on brilliantly, and both seem very happy.”

One scene in the new film sees Hayley handcuffed to Tom’s character, Ethan Hunt.

Paparazzi pictures showed them holding hands between takes in the Italian capital. 

In 2013, scientologist Tom was linked to Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon, and last year was said to have got close to Handmaid's Tale star Elizabeth Moss. 

The Top Gun actor has three kids - Isabella and Connor from his marriage to Nicole Kidman, and Suri, 14, from his relationship with actress, Katie.
