Tom Cruise continued to fuel romance rumors with his agent Maha Dakhil (pictured in March) this week when the pair were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner.
The occasion marked their second outing together in a week after the actor was previously seen dropping her off at Chiltern fire station in London. So who is Maha Dakhil?
What does she do for work?
Along with Tom, Maha also represents big stars such as Dakota Johnson, Madonna and Natalie Portman.
Until last year he worked on the internal board of CAA (Creative Artists Agency), arguably the most powerful agency in Hollywood.
She starred in the 10-part documentary series What Happens In Hollywood in 2021, which “examines Hollywood’s role in formulating society’s overall view of sex and sexuality,” according to IMDb.
In October 2023, he resigned from his position at the agency after sharing the inflammatory post on Instagram amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Despite resigning, he continued to manage Tom and also works as an agent for Madonna, Anne Hathaway and Steven Spielberg, and hired former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground production company.
The agent, who is half-Libyan, shared a post on her Instagram Stories from an account called FreePalestine and shared her thoughts on the October 7 attacks on Israel. The post read in part: “You are learning who supports genocide.”
“That’s my line,” Maha captioned the post.
‘What is more heartbreaking than witnessing a genocide? “I am a witness to the denial that a genocide is occurring,” he wrote in a second Instagram post.

A source said The anklet that Maha attempted to arrange a meeting with some of his Jewish colleagues to explain further and apologize, but several of the co-workers were so furious that they refused to attend, an accusation that has since been refuted.
The agency confirmed that she also resigned from her position as co-head of the film department. Since then, however, she has been promoted to CEO of the agency.
Maha deleted the messages shortly after posting them and apologized in a statement to Variety, saying, “I made a mistake by reposting on my Instagram Story, which used hurtful language.”
‘Like many of us, I have felt distressed. I am proud to be on the side of humanity and peace.
‘I am very grateful to Jewish friends and colleagues who pointed out the implications to me and educated me further. I immediately deleted the post. I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused.’
But the posts had made their way into the Hollywood community, Variety reported, and many of his colleagues at CAA were “offended and saddened.”
Maha re-addressed her comments on Instagram and wrote: ‘The choice of words is important. Dialogue is healing. As each excruciating day passes, I listen and learn more from my friends. Thank you.
‘I have all of our families in my prayers… I am grieving for everyone who is suffering right now. I continue to mourn all the innocent lives. My mission is peace.’
