Singer Victoria Canal has shut down a ‘bonkers’ rumour she is dating a certain A-lister.
After much speculation, the 25-year-old has made it loud and clear she is not romantically involved with Hollywood star Tom Cruise, who she said is merely a “mentor”.
“Guys, this is literally bonkers, but apparently the tabloids think i am dating tom cruise. i’m deceased.💀,” she wrote to Instagram in a lengthy post.

Canal screenshotted and posted several articles speculating she was dating Cruise, 62.
“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,” she continued, expressing her disbelief at the situation.
Canal posted her first picture with Cruise in June after the pair met at Glastonbury.
After some follow-up public appearances together, the rumour mill went into overdrive.
The singer did seem to find a positive to the dating rumours, admitting it was a “huge perk” to be named in full as opposed to being solely identified as a “one-armed pianist”.

The 25-year-old songwriter was born with a condition called amniotic band syndrome which left her without a right forearm.
In the latter part of the message, Canal made it clear Cruise was just a mentor figure.

“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,” she said.
“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.”

Canal finished off her post by making the most of the situation and promoting her recent music release and upcoming tour.
After connecting at Glastonbury festival, Cruise appeared on Canal’s Instagram feed again weeks later when he flew her and her brother to the Twisters premiere.
On July 26, Canal shared a backstage photo of her and Cruise with Bruce Springsteen, shouting out the Mission Impossible star as the “most random friend I’ve ever made”.
