Past & Current Relationships

Tom Cruise is one of the most famous and successful actors in Hollywood, known for his iconic roles in movies like Top Gun, Mission: Impossible, and Jerry Maguire.
But he is also famous for his romantic history, which has been the subject of much speculation and media attention over the years.
We will take a look at Tom Cruise’s past and current relationships, from his high school sweetheart to his rumored girlfriend.
Tom Cruise’s first known relationship was with Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls on the NBC series Little House on the Prairie.
They dated in the early 1980s when Tom was still using his birth name, Tom Mapother.
Gilbert said they made out but did not have sex, and that she bought him his first set of dishes.
Tom Cruise also had a brief encounter with Heather Locklear, who later starred in Melrose Place.
They went dancing together after auditioning for something in the early ’80s, but Locklear was not impressed by Tom’s moves.
She said he did the splits like he did in Risky Business, and she did not know what to do.
Tom Cruise’s first serious relationship was with Rebecca De Mornay, who co-starred with him in Risky Business.
They dated for about three years, from 1983 to 1986. De Mornay said Tom was very passionate and intense, but also very ambitious and focused on his career.
Tom Cruise married his first wife, Mimi Rogers, in 1987. She was an actress and a Scientologist who introduced Tom to the controversial religion.
They divorced in 1990, citing irreconcilable differences. Rogers said Tom wanted to be celibate to maintain his purity for Scientology.
Tom Cruise met his second wife, Nicole Kidman, on the set of the movie Days of Thunder in 1990.
They fell in love and got married later that year. They adopted two children, Isabella and Connor, and starred in several movies together, including Eyes Wide Shut.
They divorced in 2001, after 11 years of marriage. The reasons for their split are unclear, but some sources say it was because of Tom’s devotion to Scientology and Nicole’s desire to have biological children.
Tom Cruise took a break from married life and started dating Penélope Cruz, whom he met on the set of the movie Vanilla Sky in 2000.
They enjoyed a three-year relationship, which ended amicably in 2003.
Cruz said they remained friends and that she respected Tom as a person and an actor.
Tom Cruise had a brief fling with Sofia Vergara, the Colombian actress who later became famous for her role in Modern Family.
They dated for a few months in 2005 but reportedly broke up because Vergara did not want to convert to Scientology.
Tom Cruise married actress Katie Holmes for the third and final time.
The couple began dating in 2005 and were quickly dubbed “TomKat.”
The actor famously declared his love for Katie in a viral interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which he jumped on her talk show’s couch.
After two months of dating, they got engaged, and their daughter Suri was born in 2006.
They got married later that year in a lavish ceremony in Italy.
They divorced in 2012, after six years of marriage. The details of their divorce are confidential, but some sources say it was because of Tom’s strict control over Katie and Suri’s lives and his involvement with Scientology.
Tom Cruise has been very private about his love life since his divorce from Katie Holmes.
He has been linked to several women over the years, but none of them have been confirmed as his girlfriends.
Some of the rumored names include Yolanda Pecoraro, Olga Kurylenko, Laura Prepon, Emily Thomas, Vanessa Kirby, and Elisabeth Moss.
The latest rumor is that Tom Cruise is dating his co-star from Mission: Impossible 7, Hayley Atwell.
The two have been spotted holding hands and getting cozy on the set of the movie, which has been filming amid the pandemic.
A source said they got along well from their first meeting and have a lot of chemistry.
However, another source said they are just friends and colleagues who enjoy working together.
Neither Tom nor Hayley have confirmed or denied their relationship status.
