All three of Tom Cruise's marriages ended when wife was 33

Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes and Mimi Rogers were all 33 when their marriages to Cruise ended.

Soon after news broke about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' plans to divorce , fans noted a weird coincidence. All of Cruise's three marriages broke up when his wife at the time was 33, and ended when she was 34.

Cruise's first wife was Mimi Rogers, who was 31 when she wed 24-year-old Cruise in May 1987 and 33 when they broke up in 1990.

Cruise then married Nicole Kidman, 23, in December of 1990, and then separated in 2001, when Kidman was 33.

Holmes, 28, and Cruise wed in 2006, seven months after daughter Suri was born. And when word came Friday that Holmes had filed for divorce, those with a sense of Cruise history noted that Holmes was also 33.

Divorces, in each case, came when the woman in question had turned 34 (or so we assume with Holmes, who will turn 34 in December).

The coincidence didn't go unnoticed on social media, where no weird fact is too small to escape notice.

"How weird is it that Tom Cruise's three failed marriages have all ended while the women were 34?" tweeted Karen D'Souza. Others tried to find a connection between the number 33 and Cruise's well-publicized Scientology faith.

And others had fun with a different numerical aspect of the Cruise-Holmes marriage. Wrote Adolf McGough, "Shoutout to Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Your marriage lasted 28.47 Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries marriages."

Mimi Rogers

Tom’s first marriage was to  Mimi Rogers  in 1987. The actor had experienced early success in his career with  Risky Business  and  Top Gun , before he married the actress. Mimi, 66, has starred in a number of beloved movies like Lost In Space  or the first  Austin Powers  film. While the marriage was short-lived, Mimi did have a major impact on Tom, being the one who introduced him to Scientology, according to the book The Passion of Tom Cruise , via  Radar .  Her dad had been an original member of the church, via  The Hollywood Reporter .

Tom had said that the pair met at a dinner party in a 1986 profile by  Rolling Stone . In another profile , he later gushed about Mimi. “I care about my wife more than anything in the world. She’s my best friend. I just really like being with her, you know? I love her,” he said.

Unfortunately, the couple later split and broke up in 1990. In the years since the divorce, Mimi has said that she regularly gets questioned about her marriage to the  Top Gun  star, but she doesn’t really comment much. ““Any time anything happens with him I get a call: ’What do you think of Katie? What do think about this?’ … ’Yeah, he’s having a kid. Of course I think it’s great. What do you want me to say?’ ’Do you think he’ll be a good father?’ ’How do I know any more than I would know what kind of parent you would be,” she explained to  Today  in 2006.

Meanwhile, Mimi keeps her fans up to date on her latest moves via Instagram . Her last post celebrated another season of working on the hit TV show Bosch Legacy.

Nicole Kidman

After the split from Mimi, Tom starred alongside his future wife  Nicole Kidman in  Days of Thunder,  and the pair got married in December 1990. The couple adopted two kids: a daughter Isabella,   29, and a son Connor,  27, in the 90s. During their 11-year marriage, Tom and Nicole also starred in the 1999 film  Eyes Wide Shut  together, which Nicole, 54, looked back on fondly in a 2020 New York Times   interview. “We were happily married through that. We would go go-kart racing after those scenes. We’d rent out a place and go racing at 3 in the morning,” she said.

After 11 years together, the couple broke up, and Tom filed for divorce in February 2001. In the years after the split, Nicole said the breakup was a “major shock” in a 2006 interview with  Ladies Home Journal,  per  Today .  “I knew I was going to get hit with something. But I think a divorce, and the demise of what your family is, is a little death in itself,” she said. Shortly after the split, there had been reports that Nicole had suffered a miscarriage at the end of their relationship, but she set the record straight in a 2007 interview with  Marie Claire . She said that it was “wrongly reported,” and clarified, “I had an ectopic pregnancy at the beginning of [my marriage].”

Nicole went on to marry country music singer Keith Urban in 2006. The gorgeous actress shares hilarious videos of their daily life together in Australia via her Instagram . Check out the cute couple hilariously chasing a native brush tail possum away from their deck here !

Katie Holmes

Tom’s third and most recent marriage was to actress Katie Holmes .  The pair started dating in 2005, and they were quickly nicknamed “TomKat.” The actor famously declared his love for Katie in a viral interview with  Oprah Winfrey,  where he jumped on the couch on her talk show. A year after going public with their romance, Katie, 43, had their first daughter   Suri ,  16, together in April 2006. The couple got married that November. The wedding was an extravagant affair, with tons of high profile guests like  Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey,  and many more, per  USA Today.   Tom’s best man was the head of the Church of Scientology  David Miscavige,  according to the   BBC .

After six years of marriage, the couple divorced in 2012. Katie announced that she was filing for divorce, and the split was quickly resolved due to a prenup arranged by the actress’s dad, according to  Vanity Fair . After the split, Katie moved to New York with Suri. Although she doesn’t often share snaps of her mini-me daughter to her Instagram , Katie does give fans a peek at her life in the Big Apple.

She reflected on the time after the divorce in an April 2020 interview with   InStyle . “That time was intense. It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn’t know became my friends and helped us out, and that’s what I love about the city,” she said.

All of Tom Cruise’s wives and girlfriends in order, chronologically

The ones you remember, and the ones you don't!

tom cruise second wife name

There’s nobody like Tom Cruise . He’s charismatic, he’s eccentric, he’s controversial, and he’s everybody’s beloved. He has made some of the most quotable films of all time yet has dedicated the last decade of his career to performing some of the most dangerous stunts ever. His unpredictability is arguably his greatest weapon, and we struggle to find a more perfect word to describe his love life.

Cruise has been world-famous since the 1980s, and in that time, he’s been linked to several different women. The interesting thing to note here, especially given Cruise’s desire for privacy, is that nearly all the women he’s dated are celebrities. Apparently, the Mission: Impossible actor likes to fraternize with other actors. Cruise’s latest girlfriend is literally his Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One co-star! However, before we jump ahead too quickly, let’s step back and begin at the very start.

Melissa Gilbert

Melissa Gilbert speaks at The Paley Center For Media hosts "The Beauty That Remains: The Legacy Of Anne FranK"

Cruise’s relationship with Melissa Gilbert predates the name Cruise! Gilbert appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live in 2014, and she revealed that the actor was still going by his birth name when they first met. “I was maybe 16 or 17,” she recalled. “Actually, when I dated him, he was still Tom Mapother.”

Both Cruise and Gilbert were actors in 1981, but their situations could not have been more different. The former had just made his film debut in Endless Love (1981), and the latter was one of the cast members on the hit show Little House on the Prairie (1974-83). “He was like a struggling, starving actor, and I was working,” Gilbert added. “I actually bought him his first set of dishes.” They broke up within a few months.

Patti Scialfa

There are claims that Cruise romanced Heather Locklear and Rebecca de Mornay during the early 80s, but neither relationship has been confirmed by the people involved, so we felt like they shouldn’t warrant their own entry. However, what has been confirmed is the brief romance between Cruise and Patti Scialfa in 1985.

In a 1988 profile on Scialfa, People Magazine revealed that she dated Cruise before moving on to her future husband (and fellow E Street Band member) Bruce Springsteen. “Patti was hardly a nun before she met Bruce,” a source told People. “She doesn’t go out with accountants.” Scialfa and Springsteen have been married since 1991.

Tom Cruise and Cher dating already seems like the epitome of 80s pop culture, but it gets even better when you consider where they met: the 1985 wedding of Sean Penn and Madonna. These circumstances are so bizarre and hilarious that they sound made up. We digress. Cruise and Cher dated for a year, and while things didn’t last between them, there didn’t appear to be any hard feelings. Cher even listed Cruise as one of her top five lovers on a 2013 Watch What Happens Live episode.

Cher also marked the last time Cruise dated someone more famous than he was. Cher was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet and had just earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Mask (1985). Cruise released Top Gun the following year, and things were never the same.

Mimi Rogers

tom cruise second wife name

Cruise married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987. They were together for three years, and BBC News theorized that Rogers was actually the person who introduced Cruise to the Church of Scientology. Either way, their romance was not built to last. Rogers cited intimacy issues, and then there were discrepancies in their respective careers.

Rogers’ career ran parallel with Cruise’s. She also made her film debut in 1981 and earned critical praise for her performances in Gung Ho (1986), Someone to Watch Over Me , and Street Smart (both 1987), but Cruise’s megastardom led to her being overlooked in the media. “No matter what the article is, it’s ‘Tom Cruise‘s wife’,” Rogers told People . She received a $4 million settlement from the divorce.

Nicole Kidman

tom cruise second wife name

Cruise quickly rebounded from the Rogers marriage and started dating Nicole Kidman. The two had met during the making of Days of Thunder (1990) and were already two years into their marriage by the time they made Far and Away (1992). Cruise and Kidman were one of the premiere celebrity couples of the decade, and their third collaboration, Eyes Wide Shut (1999), drew attention for its scandalous depiction of a marriage on the rocks.

Eventually, the issues bled into real life. Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001 and released a joint statement citing “difficulties inherent in divergent careers.” They remain co-parents to their adopted children, Isabella Jane and Connor Antony.

Penelope Cruz

tom cruise second wife name

Cruise likes to rebound quickly, and he did it again while making Vanilla Sky (2001). He started dating co-star Penelope Cruz, who played his love interest in the film, and despite their shared fame, they maintained a relatively low profile. They dated until 2004 when their amicable split was chalked up to scheduling conflicts and a general acceptance that things had run their course.

At the time, Lee Anne DeVette, Cruise’s sister and publicist, told People : “They broke up at the end of January, and it’s amicable.” Cruz’s publicist, Robert Garlock, went as far as to state that the actors stayed in touch after splitting. “They remain good friends and still talk often,” he assured fans. “There is no other person involved.”

Katie Holmes

tom cruise second wife name

We wonder if you need a refresher on this one. Cruise went on The Oprah Winfrey Show to jump on the host’s couch and declare his love for Katie Holmes in one of the most cringe-inducing interviews ever. That being said, the couch jumping worked, and Cruise and Holmes were wed in 2005. They had a daughter named Suri the following year and remained steady tabloid fodder until their divorce in 2012.

Holmes told In Style that the attention of being married to Cruise was often overwhelming. “That time was intense,” she admitted. “It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public.”

Hayley Atwell

Cruise’s love life has slowed down, but things picked up with Hayley Atwell during the making of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One . The Sun reports that Cruise and Atwell started dating in 2020, when Dead Reckoning Part One was going into production, and remained a couple until their split in May 2022.

While a reason for their official split was not given, Cruise and Atwell appear to be friendly with one another during the press junkets. Atwell even attended the premiere of Cruise’s film Top Gun: Maverick (2022) to show her support. Both are currently single.

Tom Cruise Has Tried Matrimony Three Times – Meet His Ex-wives

Jonathan Dez

Tom Cruise has been married three times but sadly, they all ended in divorce. His first marriage was to Miriam ‘Mimi’ Rogers from 1987 – 1990, his second was to Nicole Mary Kidman from 1990 – 2001, and his third was to Kate Noelle Holmes from 2006 to 2012. 

Tom Cruise is easily one of the most popular actors the world has ever seen. The famous American actor and filmmaker is well-known for several reasons that range from his superior talent on the screen to his involvement with the Scientology religion as well as his romantic relationships and failed marriages.

Being a globally celebrated figure who is handsome and successful, it is only natural that many women are attracted to the actor and wouldn’t think twice about having him as a romantic partner.

Since his career took off in the 1980s, the “Mission Impossible” actor has been with some of the finest and popular women in showbiz. His first lover known to the public was actress Melissa Gilbert; she reportedly dated the man now regarded as one of the highest-paid actors in the world while he was struggling to establish his career.

After Melissa, Tom had a very brief romance with actress Heather Locklear before his relationship with Rebecca De Mornay began on the set of 1983’s “Risky Business”.

Before Cruise settled down for his first marriage with actress Mimi Rogers, he had something with the Goddess of Pop, Cher. Cruise is currently not married but he has been a husband to three women; he has had three marriages in a span of about 30 years.

Meet Tom Cruise’s First Wife, Mimi Rogers

  • Full Name: Miriam Rogers (née Spickler)
  • Date of Birth:  January 27, 1956
  • Age: 68 Years Old
  • Occupation:  Actress and Producer
  • Duration of Marriage:  1987 – 1990
  • No of Children With Tom:  Nil

Tom Cruise And Mimi Rogers

Cruise’s first wife was Mimi Rogers, an American film and television actress, producer, as well as a competitive poker player. Born in Coral Gables, Florida to a civil engineer named Philip C. Spickler and his wife Kathy Talent, Mimi caught the entertainment bug from her mother who was involved in drama and dancing.

Although she was born in Florida, Mimi would live in places like England, Michigan, Arizona, and Virginia before her family made Los Angeles their permanent home. Before her acting career took off in 1981, Mimi Rogers worked as a social worker and in a hospital.

It was after her first marriage to James Rogers whom she married in 1976 and assumed his surname ended in 1980 that Mimi decided to pursue a career in acting.

It was pretty easy for Mimi Roger to become a part of the acting industry as in 1981, she pulled off two roles as Sandra Pauley and Corrina Girard in several episodes of “Hill Street Blues” and “Quincy M.E.”, respectively.

She has remained active in the industry since then and has come to be admired for the characters she portrayed in productions like “The Rapture”, “Gung Ho”, “Someone to Watch Over Me”, “Desperate Hours”, and “Bosch”.

Within the first ten years of being an actress, Mimi had become very famous. Given that, it is pretty easy to see why it was a big deal when it emerged that she was in a relationship with Tom Cruise.

Mimi Rogers and Tom Cruise Met and Began Dating In 1985

Half a decade after Mimi parted ways with her first husband, she began dating Tom Cruise who was about six years younger than her. According to the actress , they were introduced to each other by mutual friends at a dinner party who knew they were both single and wanted to see if they’d be interested in dating each other.

Mimi and Tom agreed to give it a try and it quickly became a serious relationship. While Tom was famous then, he was not as famous as he is now as it was before “Top Gun” was released.

Within a year of dating, the former couple was already discussing marriage which they codenamed “The Project” so that they can comfortably discuss it without worrying someone would get hold of their plans and disclose it to the media. Tom had become a megastar at this point and they need to keep the media and prying eyes of the public away from their lives.

The actor remembers how he met and began dating Mimi Rogers quite differently. In a 1986 interview , he admitted that his relationship with Mimi began in 1985 after they met at a dinner party. Adding that he was working on Top Gun at that point, Tom divulged that Mimi was dating a friend and hinted that he went ahead to woo her despite that because he found her to be “extremely bright”.

In another interview with Rolling Stone, the actor asserted that he had never been in love before he began seeing Mimi. He said she had opened him up and had helped him become a better actor.

They Had a Private Wedding In 1987 But The Marriage Packed Up In 1989

There is no doubt that Mimi Rogers had a huge influence on Tom. Among other things, she was the one that introduced him to Scientology. The actress was raised in the religion as her father was a member of the church before she was born. In 1987, precisely on the 9th of May, Tom and Mimi executed “The Project”.

It was a small, secret wedding that was held in New York. Witnessed by only a handful of family members and friends, it was said that even Tom’s publicist didn’t know about the wedding. As a married couple, Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers could only endure a few years together.

They announced in January 1990 that they would be abandoning the marriage, leaving the public to wonder what went wrong with them. In a joint statement, the former couple pointed out that there were positive aspects to their union, but that some issues they were unable to resolve even after working on them made them decide to part ways.

With that, people assumed their separation was a mutual decision and it was. From what has circulated, Tom Cruise filed for divorce on the 9th of December 1989. The divorce was finalized in 1990 and in a 1993 interview with Playboy, Mimi reinforced the sentiment that her separation from Tom was an amicable decision.

She joked that Tom was bent on becoming a monk to “maintain the purity of his instrument” whereas hers’ “needed tuning”. She later retracted the statement and would not comment further.

The same year their marriage ended, both Tom and Mimi moved on with other partners. For Mimi Rogers, it was Christopher Ciaffa, a producer to whom she has been married since 2003. The same can’t be said about Cruise as the end of his marriage to Mimi marked the beginning of another union with Nicole Kidman which eventually failed like his first.

Nicole Kidman Was Tom Cruise’s Second Wife

  • Full Name: Nicole Mary Kidman
  • Date of Birth:  June 20, 1967
  • Age: 56 Years Olds
  • Occupation:  Actress, Singer, and Producer
  • Duration of Marriage:  1990 – 2001
  • No of Children With Tom:  2 (Isabella Jane and Connor Antony Cruise)
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nicole Kidman (@nicolekidman)

Nicole Kidman is probably the most popular wife of the actor and definitely one of the finest and accomplished Hollywood actors from Australia. She has won the most coveted awards in the industry including an Academy Award, multiple Golden Globes, and Primetime Emmy Awards.

Nicole has been named among the highest-paid actresses of the world several times and twice (in 2004 and 2008), Time magazine listed her among the 100 most influential people on earth.

Widely considered to be one of the best actors of the 21st century, Nicole was appointed Companion of the Order of Australia in 2006. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S., the actress is also a citizen of the States but her parents are originally from Australia and she has held on to her roots despite her colossal attainments in Hollywood.

When Nicole was four years old, her family moved back to Australia where she schooled at North Sydney Girl’s High School. Her career in the entertainment industry has been traced to when she was a kid as she took ballet classes at the age of three and participated in school plays in her primary and high school years.

She would later polish her acting skills at the influential Phillip Street Theatre and the Australian Theatre for Young People both located in Sydney. It was in Australia that her acting career took off.

She was seen in several popular Australian productions like “BMX Bandits”, “Bush Christmas”, “Bangkok Hilton” and “Dead Calm” before she made her Hollywood debut, starring alongside Tom Cruise in the 1990 sports action drama film, “Days of Thunder”.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Met on The Set of Days of Thunder and Their Relationship Began On-screen

For reasons that were not far-fetched, the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman relationship was a big deal: Tom had become a dominant figure in the movie industry and Nicole was working her way up towards becoming an iconic figure thereof.

Given that, it was only natural that a massive number of people followed their relationship which began on the set of Day of Thunder, a 1990 movie directed by Tony Scott. Tom Cruise played a character named Cole Trickle, a race car driver striving to popularize his name in NASCAR. Nicole played a neurosurgeon named Dr. Claire Lewicki who would fall in love with Cole as the plot of the movie unravels.

The on-screen romance between Tom and Nicole soon began to manifest in real life and they subsequently became lovers. Speaking about how their relationship began, the “Risky Business” actor who met Nicole Kidman almost as soon as he separated from his first wife acknowledged that he became romantically involved with the Australian actress while they were filming Days of Thunder.

He described Nicole as his soul mate , proclaiming that she is very understanding and, that they had a special connection. Tom was elated about the relationship because it was as though “a whole new life had started” for him.

Nicole Kidman was also very fond of Tom as much as he fancied her. She said the actor swept her off her feet and made her fall madly and passionately in love with him. Based on what she related, Tom Cruise fitted into the plans she had for her life so she willingly allowed the love to consume her.

The actress was in a serious relationship but wasn’t thinking of getting married. This changed after she met Tom because he was an incredible man who never took her for granted. Adding that he was very romantic, the actress divulged that she soon realized she desired to have kids with the actor.

Nicole Kidman and Cruise

They Got Married In December 1990 and The Union Lasted Over a Decade

Like his first wedding, Tom’s second was a small, private event held in Telluride, Colorado, on the 24th of December 1990. The event was witnessed by a few friends and mostly family members. The marriage came roughly a year after the couple met and began dating.

Tom and Nicole had a happy union that saw them adopt two children together, a daughter named Isabella Jane (born in 1992) and a son named Connor Anthony (born in 1995).

After 11 years of marriage, precisely on the 5th of February 2001, their spokesperson announced to the surprise of many that the two were parting ways. The actor filed for divorce two days later citing irreconcilable differences and it was finalized in August that same year.

What led to the end of their marriage has remained a mystery but there are speculations that Tom’s Church of Scientology had a hand in it. It is no secret that Nicole never joined the church.

In a 2015 documentary film titled “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief”, Mark Rathbun, a former senior executive of the church, claimed he was appointed to facilitate a break-up between Tom and Nicole . Kidman has largely been quiet about what happened to the marriage but she once suggested that they were happy when Tom filed for divorce.

While they were married, Tom and Nicole co-starred in Ron Howard’s “Far and Away” (1992) and Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999). The latter is an erotic, psychological drama film with a recurrent theme of infidelity.

Following their separation, it was claimed in some quarters that the movie created tension in their marriage. Nicole Kidman dismissed this narrative in one of her interviews , asserting that they were happily married through the movie.

Everything she has said about her marriage to the actor suggests they were still in love when Tom pulled the plug on the union. If that’s the case, could it be that the Church of Scientology facilitated the end of the marriage because the Australian actress wouldn’t join the church?

Tom Cruise’s Third Marriage Was to Actress Katie Holmes

  • Full Name: Kate Noelle Holmes
  • Date of Birth: December 18, 1978
  • Age: 45 Years Olds
  • Duration of Marriage:  2006 – 2012
  • No of Children With Tom:  1 Daughter (Suri Cruise)

Also an actress, Katie Holmes rose to fame for portraying Joey Potter in the teen drama television series, “Dawson’s Creek” Born in Toledo, Ohio, she began acting in high school, performing various roles in musicals like “Damn Yankees” and “Hello, Dolly”.

Katie’s father Martin Joseph Holmes Sr. wanted her to become a doctor but she has always been drawn to pursuing a career in showbiz. Reports have it that she started attending a modeling school when she was 14 years old.

Through the modeling school, she got to participate in a competition held by the International Modeling and Talent Association in New York; this was in 1996. As fate would have it, she was signed to an agent that helped her package and send an audition tape to the casting director of the 1997 drama film directed by Ang Lee, “The Ice Storm”.

She landed the role of Libbets Casey which became her first professional role as an actress. Since her career took off in 1997, the Toledo native has featured in several small and big screen projects that have earned her nominations foR awards like MTV Movie Award, Teen Choice, and much more.

Also a producer, Katie co-produced the 2015 drama film, “Touched with Fire” wherein she played Carla. She also directed and produced “All We Had”, a 2016 movie that had her portray Rita Carmichael.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Met In April 2005 and Got Married In November 2006

Things happened very fast between Katie and Tom. The actress had had a crush on the actor since she was a kid; so she was very excited to date him. When their relationship started has been quite a mystery but it is said that they met in April 2005 for the first time.

Before the end of that month, it became apparent that the two were lovers: they appeared together in Rome where Tom Cruise was honored with a David di Donatello Award for lifetime achievement.

Almost as soon as they began dating, Katie Holmes abandoned Catholicism and embraced the Church of Scientology. Barely seven weeks after they met for the first time, Tom and Katie announced they were ready to take their relationship to the next phase.

It was reported that Tom proposed to the actress in a restaurant at the Eiffel Tower in Paris on the 16th of June 2005. The next significant moment for them was the birth of their daughter on the 18th of April 2006.

TomKat as they were fondly called got married on the 18th of November 2006. Unlike his first two weddings, Tom Cruise’s wedding to Katie Holmes wasn’t a secret or private affair. They had a lavish celebration at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy and it was witnessed by several celebrities like David Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith, Jim Carrey, and others.

The Actress Filed for Divorce In June 2012 For Uncertain Reasons

Until it emerged that the actress filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, there was no hint that the two were having problems in their marriage. When she made the move to get the union dissolved on the 29h of June, she had been married to the actor for five and a half years.

What led to the end of the marriage has been largely left to speculations but linked to Scientology religion. It was claimed that Katie couldn’t stand the intimidation of the church anymore and feared for the safety of her child.

Their divorce was finalized about ten days after Katie filed for it. Their attorneys divulged that they signed a divorce settlement; while details of what it entailed are not known to the public, it is no secret the Katie got custody of their daughter Suri.

How Many Children Does Tom Cruise Have From All Three Marriages?

From the foregoing, it is clear that the famous actor has a total of three children to show for his three marriages. Tom Cruise didn’t have any child with his first wife, Mimi Rogers. With Nicole Kidman, he didn’t have any biological child but they adopted two kids; a son and a daughter. His only biological child came from his marriage to Katie Holmes.

Connor Antony Cruise

Connor Cruise is the only son of the famous actor whom he adopted in February 1995 with his second wife, Nicole Kidman. While Connor has a good relationship with his father, the same can’t be said of his mother. He is not close to the actress and it is said that it’s because he attends the Church of Scientology with his father.

It is not known if Connor would continue to pursue a career in acting. Thus far he has only pulled off two roles: He played Young Ben in “Seven Pound” (2008) and Daryl Jenkins in “Red Dawn” (2012). Through his mother’s marriage to Keith Urban, he has two younger half-sisters named Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban.

In 1993, when Mimi posed nude for the cover of Playboy magazine, in her interview, she said that the real story behind their divorce was Tom’s wish to become a monk, however, she later retracted that comment, claiming that she’d been misinterpreted.

Inside Tom Cruise's Relationship With Nicole Kidman

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

They were the Hollywood "it" couple of the 1990s. When A-list actor Tom Cruise decided to make a movie about a race car driver called "Days of Thunder," the recently divorced star quickly fell in love with his little-known love interest, Australian actress Nicole Kidman. The year was 1990, and both the film and her newfound relationship with Cruise turned Kidman into an instant Hollywood starlet who eventually forged a career in her own right. But, before that, she was Cruise's loving wife and mother of his two adopted children.

By the time 1990 came to a close, Cruise and Kidman were married. This was 28-year-old Cruise's second marriage, as he had previously been wed to actress Mimi Rogers. It was 23-year-old Kidman's first marriage (via Parade ). For a time, Kidman even tried to become a Scientologist like her husband, but grew weary of it and even got her husband to leave the Church of Scientology briefly, according to The Daily Beast . 

However, their marriage wouldn't last much more than a decade, and there's still no real answer to why it suddenly ended.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman seemed like the perfect couple

During the time they were wed, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman fascinated Hollywood and dominated magazine covers. They even made two more acclaimed movies together: 1992's "Far and Away" and 1999's "Eyes Wide Shut" (via Parade ). In 2002, after their marriage had ended, Kidman described the beginning of her romance with Cruise to Vanity Fair . 

"He basically swept me off my feet. I fell madly, passionately in love," Kidman said. "And as happens when you fall in love, my whole plan in terms of what I wanted for my life — I was like, 'Forget it. This is it.' I was consumed by it, willingly. And I was desperate to have a baby with him. I didn't care if we were married. That's what I wish I'd done."

Although Kidman did marry this man who swept her off her feet, instead of having his babies, the pair chose to adopt. They added Isabella to their family in 1993 and Connor in 1995. 

"I was willing to give up everything," Kidman told Vanity Fair. "I now see that as part of me. I'm willing to do that — I do it when I do a movie too. I'm willing to go, 'Yeah, bring it on, consume me, intoxicate me.' I want to feel alive — I want to reel, basically. I was reeling with Tom and I loved it and I would have walked to the end of the earth."

Nicole Kidman describes one of the happiest times in her marriage to Tom Cruise

When Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman made "Eyes Wide Shut" with legendary director Stanley Kubrick, the couple and their two children moved to England and were there for two years, living in a trailer and making spaghetti dinners with Kubrick as their frequent guest. It was rumored that the problems in the marriage began when they shot that dark film, but, in 2020, Kidman told The New York Times that was the furthest thing from the truth, at least in her eyes.

"That fits the narrative that people came up with, but I definitely didn't see it like that," Kidman said. "We were happily married through that. We would go go-kart racing after those scenes. We'd rent out a place and go racing at 3 in the morning. I don't know what else to say. Maybe I don't have the ability to look back and dissect it. Or I'm not willing to."

Nicole Kidman was stunned when Tom Cruise filed for divorce

In 2001, Tom Cruise shocked the world and his wife when he suddenly filed for divorce. Later that year, Cruise wished Nicole Kidman well in an interview with Vanity Fair  but would not reveal why they split up.

"She knows why, and I know why," he said. "She's the mother of my children, and I wish her well. And I think that you just move on. And I don't say that lightly. I don't say that with anything. Things happen in life, and you do everything you can, and in every possible way, and there's a point at which you just sometimes have to face the brutal reality."

Kidman described that time in her life as tumultuous. She couldn't believe her marriage was over, and she wasn't sure what would happen next, telling Vanity Fair that she was so distraught that she was crying in the fetal position when her parents had to come over and convince her to move on with her life. "At the time, it felt like the work was going to be taken away from me," she said. "I had more things that I wanted to give, do, participate in." 

Luckily, her career has only flourished since then, with Kidman now having an Oscar win and three noms under her belt — as well as a happy 15-year marriage to Keith Urban.

Who is Tom Cruise dating? A timeline of the Mission Impossible star's romantic history

The mission impossible actor has been married three times, and has recently sparked romance rumors with hayley atwell and shakira.

Though Tom Cruise has certainly had his share of high-profile and intensely publicized romantic relationships , since his 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes , it has been over a decade since the star's love life has garnered attention in a significant way.

The Mission Impossible actor has not been publicly romantically linked to anyone – a fellow celebrity, normie, or otherwise – in a major way since his divorce 15 years ago. Though that seemed to be possibly changing after he was rumored to be dating Shakira , and his co-star Hayley Atwell , both rumors have since been shut down, particularly as the latter announced their engagement to music producer Ned Wolfgang Kelly in April 2023.

During an interview with The Independent , Hayley maintained she sees her Mission Impossible co-star as an "uncle" figure, as she questioned: "Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?"

Tom Cruise Is Intensely Private, But Here's What We Know About His Personal Life

tom cruise second wife name

Tom Cruise is truly larger than life (though a little below average in stature ) even by Hollywood standards. Any movie he stars in is virtually guaranteed to be a box office hit if not smash. In fact, taking in all box office numbers, foreign and domestic, you have to go back to the 1980s to find a movie that truly bombed.

Incredibly, Tom Cruise has made 18 films that have earned north of $100 million. The numbers are staggering, but what about the man behind the numbers? Let’s take a look, shall we?

How Tall Is Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise is often called out for being short, and while he’s not tall, he’s also not the shortest guy in Hollywood either. At 5’7" in height, he’s taller than a lot of famous actors, like Daniel Radcliffe (5’5”), Michael J. Fox (5’4”), Scott Caan (5’5”), and Richard Dreyfuss (5’5”).

How Old Is Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise was not born on the 4th of July, but he was born on the 3rd of July in Syracuse, NY in 1962, making him 56-years-old at the time of this writing. He's pretty fit for someone pushing sixty, too, and regularly still has shirtless scenes in movies.

Who Is Tom Cruise’s Wife?

Tom Cruise has been married three times. His first marriage was to Mimi Rogers, who introduced him to the Church of Scientology. They were married from 1987 to 1990 when he left her after meeting the woman that would become his second wife, Nicole Kidman .

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got married in 1990 after meeting on the set of Day Of Thunder . They stayed married through the '90s, but eventually divorced in 2001. Kidman is now married to fellow Aussie Keith Urban.

After Tom and Nicole divorced, he began dating his Vanilla Sky co-star, Penelope Cruz (Cruise and Cruz), before breaking up with her in 2004, and shortly after, he began dating his soon-to-be third wife, Katie Holmes .

Sixteen years his junior, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise stayed married for six years before Holmes filed for divorce in New York State. Their relationship was often splashed on the covers of the tabloids, sometimes because of Cruise’s involvement in the Church of Scientology or sometimes because he was jumping up and down on couches with Oprah .

It's worth noting that before Tom Cruise married Mimi Rogers in the '80s, he was linked to a number of actress, all older than the young Hollywood heartthrob was at the time. He dated his Risky Business co-star Rebecca De Mornay briefly. He had a relationship with Bruce Springsteen ’s now-wife Patti Scialfa (before she and The Boss got together) and he also was linked to Cher for a short time, who was 16 years his elder.

Is Tom Cruise A Scientologist?

He is. Tom Cruise is almost as famous for being a Scientologist as he is for his movies. The two adopted children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman are as well .

He first joined the Church in the mid-eighties and has since become a strong advocate on behalf of it. The leader of the church, David Miscavige, was the best man at Cruise’s wedding to Katie Holmes and Cruise has spoken publicly often about his faith in Scientology. Tom Cruise is such an important part of the Church, Miscavige invented an award to give him , called the Freedom Medal Of Valor.

In 2008, a video of an interview with Tom Cruise that was intended to be for Church use was leaked to the internet. In the video -- which was edited to have the Mission: Impossible theme playing under his talking -- the actor makes a lot of wild statements that the Church claimed were taken out of context and they sued YouTube and others to have the video removed. YouTube eventually removed it, but it can be found on the internet still.

Before he started acting as a young man, Tom Cruise also briefly attended Seminary hoping to become a Catholic priest, but the acting bug caught and he left for Hollywood.

What Is Tom Cruise’s Real Name?

When he was born, Tom Cruise was named Thomas Cruise Mapother IV. He was named after his father, who Cruise didn’t not get along with growing up. When Cruise was in 6th grade, while living in Ottawa, Canada, his mother divorced his father and moved back to The States. Later, she remarried when Cruise was 16. Thomas Cruise Mapother III died when Tom Cruise was 22, just as Cruise really broke big in Hollywood.

A cousin on his father’s side is actor William Mapother, who starred as Ethan on Lost and has appeared in three films with Cruise himself, Born On The Fourth Of July, Mission: Impossible 2 , and Minority Report.

Does Tom Cruise Have Kids?

Yep. Tom Cruise has three kids. Two were adopted during his marriage to Nicole Kidman. Allegedly, Nicole Kidman was pregnant when he filed for divorce in 2000, but tragically she miscarried. She also reportedly had a miscarriage early in their marriage as well.

Six years later, in 2006, his then-girlfriend Katie Holmes famously gave birth to their daughter Suri. The tabloids and gossip sites went crazy and the world buzzed with the announcement. Vanity Fair published the first pictures of their baby and circulation reportedly jumped 60% for the issue. It was a BIG deal. More recently, the news hasn't been as good though, as it's been reported that Tom Cruise doesn't have much contact, if any, with Suri.

What Are Tom Cruise’s Kids’ Names?

His two adopted children with Nicole Kidman are, Isabella Jane Cruise, both in 1992 and Connor Anthony Cruise, born in 1995. The most famous of his children though, is the one he had with Katie Holmes , whose name is Suri.

Why Did Tom Cruise Get Divorced?

As noted prior, his first marriage ended in divorce to Mimi Rogers because he met and started dating Nicole Kidman.

Neither Nicole Kidman nor Tom Cruise have ever spoken publicly very much about their divorce in 2001. All that is really known is that it was Cruise that filed for divorce, using the nebulous “irreconcilable differences” reason in California.

Like his divorce from Kidman, Cruise has never talked much about his divorce from Katie Holmes, nor has she . Holmes filed for divorce in New York State, which has very strict privacy laws when it comes to divorce and custody, so everything is speculation, really.

So, those are the public details of Tom Cruise’s private life. As someone who has been on the front page of newspapers for almost 40 years, surprisingly little is really known about him. He’s a huge name, but an intensely private person.

Of course, there have been times where the absolute opposite of all of that is true, like when his daughter Suri was born in 2006.

One thing is still for sure – he is still box office platinum . He is one of the rare few actors in Hollywood that basically guarantees a huge box office number. That probably won’t change in anytime soon with the releases of the Top Gun sequel Maverick in 2020 and then two more Mission: Impossible movies in 2021 and 2022.

List of all the women Tom Cruise has married and divorced

tom cruise second wife name

Who is Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise, born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, is an American actor best known for his role as secret agent Ethan Hunt in the “Mission Impossible” movie series. He is considered to be one of the biggest movie stars of his age in Hollywood.

Tom Cruise was born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York to his parents Mary and Thomas Mapother. His mother was an amateur actress while his father was an electrical engineer. His parents divorced when he was 11, and Tom, together with his siblings, all moved with their mother to Louisville, Kentucky, and then to Glen Ridge, New Jersey when she remarried.

The 59-year-old actor started his acting career at the age of 19 with a minor role in the movie “Endless Love.” Over the next few years, he featured in lots of supporting roles before bagging his first major role in the romantic comedy “Risky Business”. He rose to stardom after featuring in the movie “Mission Impossible” as secret agent Ethan Hunt.

Cruise has featured in several big-budget blockbusters including Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Vanilla Sky (2001), Minority Report (2002), The Last Samurai (2003), Collateral (2004), War of the Worlds (2005), Lion for Lambs (2007), Rock of Ages (2012), Jack Reacher (2012), Oblivion (2013), Mission Impossible- Rogue Nation (2015) and The Mummy (2017).

Tom Cruise’s marriage and wives

Tom Cruise has been married and divorced three times, as of March 2022.

According to information gathered by DNB Stories Africa , the actor is in a relationship with an undisclosed lady and they are likely to get married soon.

List of the women Tom Cruise has married and divorced

  • Mimi Rogers (first wife)
  • Nicole Kidman ( second wife)
  • Katie Holmes (third wife)

tom cruise second wife name

Tom Cruise’s marriage to first wife Mimi Rogers

Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers met at a party in 1987. Tom was 23 at the time of the meeting and Mimi was 31. After a year of dating, the couple decided to tie the knot in a secret ceremony on May 9, 1987, to avoid any interference from the public.

It was reported that the only two people that attended the ceremony were Cruise’s mother and his best man, Emilio Estevez.

Though Cruise and Mimi Rogers seemed like the perfect pair from the beginning and their union was thought to be a forever one, the reverse turned out to be the case eventually. The couple parted ways on February 4, 1990, after barely three years of marriage.

The speculations surrounding their divorce were as wild as anyone could imagine. It was speculated that Mimi Rogers was jealous of Tom Cruise’s success and didn’t like to be called his wife in press statements.

It was also reported that Mimi was the only one who encouraged Cruise’s interest in the Church of Scientology, as she was the ex-wife to James Rogers, a former Scientologist.

The speculations grew even wilder until Mimi stated in an interview with Playboy Magazine in 1993 that the reason for their divorce was based on Tom Cruise’s decision to become a monk.

Tom Cruise’s marriage to Mimi Rogers did not produce any children.

Tom Cruise’s second marriage to Nicole Kidman

After Cruise filed for divorce from ex-wife Mimi Rogers on December 9, 1989, he met Nicole Kidman on the production set of the movie “Days of Thunder” which had just begun two days after.

Cruise had described his connection with Nicole Kidman as instant lust. After a year together, Cruise and Kidman tied the knot in a private ceremony on the Christmas Eve (December 24) of 1990 in Telluride, Colorado.

Nicole Kidman, who was eager to start having kids for Cruise at the time, had an ectopic pregnancy that led to the miscarriage of their first child. This drove them to adopt two children named Isabella Jane (born 1992) and Connor Anthony (born 1995).

Kidman miscarried again in 2001. That same year, Cruise filed for divorce . Kidman revealed that the divorce came as a shock to her, and it was speculated that Cruise’s devotion to the Church of Scientology had played a part in their separation.

Tom Cruise’s third marriage to Katie Holmes

Cruise and actress Katie Holmes met in 2005. They became engaged some months after their meeting. Holmes was formerly engaged to Chris Klein when she stated in an interview that she used to think she was going to marry Tom Cruise.

Just two months after this statement, she broke off her engagement with American actor Chris Klein. After some months of dating Cruise, Holmes began exploring the Church of Scientology. Surprisingly, the Church assigned an assistant named Jessica Rodriguez who followed her everywhere. Though rumours have it that Katie Holmes never became a full member of the church.

Cruise and Holmes got engaged in June, eight months after their first meeting. As romantic as Cruise was, the actor proposed at the top of the Eiffel Tower where they dined at Le Jules Verne. Shortly after the proposal, Tom Cruise called for a press conference to announce the engagement.

A year after their engagement, Cruise and Katie Holmes tied the knot at a ceremony in Bracciano, Italy. Katie’s friends and celebrities such as Jenifer Lopez , Will Smith , and Jada Pinkett Smith as well as the Scientology officials were in attendance.

In early October 2005, the pair announced they were having a baby. In April 2006, their baby Suri was born.

In June 2012, Katie Holmes filed to divorce Tom Cruise. According to reports, Katie Holmes had thought Cruise was going to send their daughter, Suri to the Sea Org, a Scientologist organization where children are subjected to forced labour at sea.

Ten days later, they both reached an agreement that gave Katie Holmes custody of their daughter, Suri. The agreement prevented Suri from any involvement with the Scientology Church because Scientologists had to cut off family members who left the church.

Tom Cruise’s Children

As of the time of publishing this article, Tom Cruise has three children.

The first two children, Isabella Jane Cruise and Connor Anthony were both adopted through the Church of Scientology at the time of his marriage to his second wife, Nicole Kidman.

His third child, Suri Cruise who happens to be his first and only biological daughter, to date, came from his third wife, Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise’s Full Dating History Includes So Many ’90s Relationships

The life he’s lived!

preview for Tom Cruise’s Career From “Risky Business” to “Top Gun: Maverick”

1983: Rebecca De Mornay

1985: patti scialfa, 1987 to 1990: mimi rogers, 1990 to 2001: nicole kidman, 2001 to 2004: penélope cruz, 2005: sofía vergara, 2005 to 2012: katie holmes, 2020 to 2022: hayley atwell, 2023: shakira (maybe), 2023: sofía vergara (again...maybe), 1981: melissa gilbert.

Star of your mother’s favorite show Little House on the Prairie , Melissa Gilbert dated Tom Cruise back in the olden days—like, before he was famous. It was so long before he was famous, in fact, that he was going by a different name. (That is correct: CRUISE IS NOT THIS MAN’S REAL NAME.)

“Actually, when I dated him, he was Tom Mapother still,” Melissa revealed on Watch What Happens Liv e , adding that she was “16 maybe or 17” when they met.

Melissa also noted they kept things PG-13, saying she didn’t have sex with him. And yes, she said Tom was “a good kisser.” (Please be advised: much of this list is people complimenting Tom’s ~skills~.)

screening of "risky business"

According to Risky Business star Curtis Armstrong’s aptly titled tell-all Revenge of the Nerd , Tom Cruise and Rebecca had an “intense affair” on set of the film. But, like, neither Tom nor Rebecca appear to have confirmed that so...moving on!

ron galella archive file photos 2010

Yep, Tom used to date E Street Band member (and Bruce Springsteen’s wife) Patti! We know this thanks to an old People profile from 1988, which notes they dated “briefly” in 1985.

That is correct: Tom and Cher fully dated. They first met at the site of all great celeb romances: Sean Penn and Madonna’s wedding. But then they found themselves once again at the same place at the same time when they attended a casual event at the White House.

While they clearly didn’t last, Cher did call Tom one of her top five lovers ( Wow , tell us more, Cher) during an episode of Watch What Happens Live .

Meet Tom’s first wife, Mimi! Tom mused to Rolling Stone back in 1990 (ironically...right before their split) that she helped him become a better actor and he cared about her more than “anything in the world.” He also called Mimi his “best friend” and said, “I just really like being with her, you know? I love her.”

TBD why they split, but Mimi told People she had a hard time maintaining her individuality and “no matter what the article is, it’s ‘Tom Cruise’s wife...’”

tom cruise and nicole kidman in los angeles in 1992

Tom and Nicole met while they were filming Days of Thunder (a total classic) and he was...extremely into her! To put it very mildly! Tom said his first reaction to meeting Nicole was “pure lust,” and he described the early days of their relationship as “totally physical.” Honestly, no wonder their chemistry was so off the charts in Eyes Wide Shut . But clearly, it was more than just pure lust, because they got married and went on to adopt two children together.

In 2001, Tom and Nicole decided to divorce. Thus, these photos were born:

At the time, they released a joint statement citing “difficulties inherent in divergent careers.” Guess that was the early aughts version of everyone’s current fave “irreconcilable differences”?

tom cruise and penelope cruz on vanilla sky movie set

We’ve reached the Cruise/Cruz era! Tom and Penélope met on the set of Vanilla Sky and dated for about three years, which seems like a shockingly long amount of time in retrospect? Anyway, they broke things off in March 2004, and a source told People the relationship simply “ran its course,” and their separate and distance-filled filming schedules had a lot to do with the breakup.

celebrity sightings in los angeles february 21, 2005

Yep. These two briefly dated in 2005 after Tom split with Penélope Cruz. According to Andrew Morton, the author of Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography , Tom followed the church of Scientology and had to provide leaders with a list of women he was interested in pursuing at the time. On that list? Sofía Vergara , who was an up-and-coming actor in the 2000s.

However, their relationship ended before it could even really begin. “It soon became clear that she was being auditioned for the biggest role of her life—Mrs. Tom Cruise,” Andrew wrote. “It was made clear that if she took the part, she would have to renounce her Catholic faith and convert to Scientology.”

Well, that’s a totally valid reason to call things off.

Tom and Katie (or TomKat as they were called) met in 2005 and were like...extremely into the press and attention. See: Tom’s behavior on Oprah’s poor couch, which did not ask for that jump. Anyway, these two got married and had a daughter named Suri. For a minute, they were living happily ever after in some giant cabin/mansion...until they weren’t.

These Mission Impossible costars weren’t formally confirmed to be dating, but they were a rumored item until pretty recently. According to The Sun , they split up in June of this year, and Tom is currently single and ready to mingle on a sofa near you.

These two met at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami in May 2023 and even snapped some pics together (see above 👀). Last summer, the “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker parted ways with her longtime husband Gerard Piqué amid allegations that he had cheated on her. At the time of Tom and Shak’s meeting, an anonymous source told Page Six that the Colombian singer “needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom”...okay then!

Nothing was confirmed about the potential pair, so moving right along.

Tom and Sofía had a brief romance in 2005 before he married Katie Holmes, and now that Sofía is in her single era again after splitting with Joe Manganiello, the Top Gun star is reportedly interested in pursuing another relationship with her.

“They had a special time together partying in the Hollywood hills and having a blast. Sofia wasn’t really giving out the signals back then that she wanted anything long-term, so it petered out in a totally amicable fashion and they remained friends,” An insider revealed to Heat via The Mirror .

“It’s always eaten away at Tom that he dumped Sofia and chose Katie,” the source said, adding that newly single Sofía “checks almost every box for Tom.”

Nothing has been confirmed, but, tbh, anything can happen in the cinematic universe that is Tom Cruise’s dating life. 🤷

Inside Rebecca Ferguson And Tom Cruise's Relationship

Rebecca Ferguson and Tom Cruise

Top Gun actor Tom Cruise has been keeping his love life private after two wildly public marriages to top actresses, and who could blame him? Cruise's split from his second wife  Nicole Kidman  was so contentious that, even years later, he banned her from attending their son Connor's wedding . Cruise's infamous breakup with third wife Katie Holmes left him blindsided and devastated, opening up to German TV network ProSieben about the "tragicomedy" of his relationships (via Insider ). "To be 50 and to have experiences and to think you have a grip on everything... and then it hits you: This is it, what life can do to you," he told the channel.

Despite the slew of romantic setbacks, Cruise has been linked to other Hollywood actresses following his 2012 divorce from Holmes, including his Mission: Impossible co-star Rebecca Ferguson . The Swedish bombshell was a surprise pick to star opposite Ethan Hunt (Cruise) in 2015's Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and 2018's Mission: Impossible – Fallout , generating rumors that Cruise hand-picked her for the role over better known actresses.

So, who is the up-and-comer that appears to have snagged Cruise's attention? Here's a look inside Rebecca Ferguson and Tom Cruise's relationship.

Tom Cruise supposedly thinks Rebecca Ferguson is even prettier than ex-wife Nicole Kidman

According to National Enquirer (via Radar Online ), insiders revealed in 2014 that Rebecca Ferguson first caught Tom Cruise's eye in the Starz period drama The White Queen , largely because of her resemblance to Cruise's long-ago love, Nicole Kidman.

"She looked just like Nicole with her pale complexion and tousled reddish-blonde hair," a source told the outlet. "Even her sex scene was just like one Nicole did years ago." Cruise was immediately captivated. The insider claimed that Cruise felt Ferguson was "just like a young Nicole, but even more beautiful."

It's no surprise, therefore, that Cruise employed the same tactic with Ferguson that he did with Kidman: hand-picking her to star across him in his films! While many actresses reportedly jockeyed for a role in the Mission: Impossible franchise, it was Ferguson who landed the coveted spot. A friend of Cruise's told Radar  that she was an unexpected choice. "There were better known actresses in line for the role, but Tom said he thought she'd be perfect," the pal clarified.

Rebecca Ferguson feels there is a 'bond' between their characters

Looks like Tom Cruise hit the nail on the head by selecting Rebecca Ferguson to play his love interest, Agent Ilsa Faust because the pair shares electric chemistry on set. "There's been a real spark between them and Tom's been giving Rebecca his full attention," a source told National Enquirer (via Radar Online ). Inquisitr suggested that at the time of filming, Cruise, who'd been "flirting nonstop" with Ferguson, was looking to upgrade their working relationship to a personal one.

For her part, Ferguson shied away from any romance rumors, instead choosing to focus on the pair's onscreen counterparts. Describing Ilsa Faust to SyFy in 2018, Ferguson said, "She's so fierce and independent, she doesn't have time for it [a relationship]. There's a bond between them that goes beyond love or attraction or sensuality. It's platonic, but it's caring. They're absolutely devoted to one another."

It's notable that Ethan Hunt and Ilsa Faust's relationship in the Mission: Impossible franchise, while dramatically charged, is powered by mutual fascination and respect. We may have to wait and see whether real life imitates art, as Ferguson and Cruise were just spotted in November 2020 on the set of the next installment of the Mission: Impossible films . At the time of this writing, they have yet to confirm a relationship; in fact, Cruise has not confirmed a relationship since his last divorce, according to Distractify .

Tom Cruise's Marriages (And Divorces) All Follow The Same Strange Pattern That May Tie Back To Scientology

It can't be a coincidence.

By Nia Tipton — Written on Jul 31, 2022

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman, Mimi Rogers

Fans have noticed a rather strange pattern that has followed Tom Cruise through all three of his marriages, and those eventual divorces.

Many have noticed that all three of his ex-wives , Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes were all the same exact age, 33, when their marriages to Cruise ended, and were all "11 years younger than the last."

The "33-11 conspiracy" has even been linked to Cruise's religion, Scientology.

Here are the details surrounding Tom Cruises' strange pattern with marriages & divorces.

Cruise's first marriage was to actress Mimi Rogers in 1987, when she was 31 and he was 24. 

It was reportedly Rogers who introduced Cruise to Scientology, but their marriage didn't last, around three years to be exact.

The couple split in 1990 when Rogers was 33.

At the time of their split, the couple released a joint statement : "While there have been very positive aspects to our marriage, there were some issues which could not be resolved even after working on them for a period of time.”

Following his divorce from Rogers, Cruise went on to play the lead role in the 1989 film "Days of Thunder" alongside his second wife, actress Nicole Kidman .

Kidman was 23 years old when she married Cruise in December 1990.

The couple adopted two children together, a daughter named Isabella in 1992 and a son named Connor in 1995. 

Kidman and Cruise were married for 11 years and even starred in Stanley Kubrick's last film before his death, "Eyes Wide Shut," in 1999.

In February 2001, however, just two months after renewing their vows on their 10th wedding anniversary, Cruise filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences."

RELATED:  Why Tom Cruise ‘Chooses Not To See’ His Daughter 10 Years After Their Last Sighting Together

His last marriage was to then-28-year-old Katie Holmes in 2006, five years after divorcing Kidman. 

The two welcomed their daughter, Suri Cruise, in April 2006 before marrying in November 2006.

In June 2012, Holmes filed for divorce amid rumors that her rejection of  Scientology played a significant role in their divorce.

All three of Tom's divorces follow a bizarre pattern — Rogers, Kidman, and Holmes were all 33 years old when they split with Cruise.

Rogers and Tom parted ways in February 1990 — when she was 34 years old — but the pair announced their split on January 16th, 1990, at which point she was still 33.

Kidman was 34 when she and Tom finalized their divorce in August 2001, however, the actor filed for divorce in February of that year, when the actress was 33 years old.

Holmes, who was the only one of Tom’s ex-wives who filed for divorce from the actor, did so in June 2012, six months before her 34th birthday.

According to NY Daily News , 33 is a significant number in Scientology.

The original membership organization for the religious group, the Hubbard Association of Scientologists, was founded in Phoenix, Arizona, which lies on the 33rd parallel.

The number is also known as the "Master Teacher," which represents altruism and raising mankind's positive energy in numerology. 

In a Reddit forum , fans discussed the similarities, with one user writing: "This is some Scientology number magic going on here."

Other users have pointed out that actor Leonardo DiCaprio essentially does the same thing , only his relationships end when the woman turns 25, and have made the connection that maybe Cruise doesn't want to be with a woman under the age of 33.

Soon after, the Top Gun star and the Grammy Award winner crossed paths again at a White House event.

Regarding her courtship with Tom, Cher recalled to ET : "It was a long, long time ago, and neither one of us ever talked about it, and I don’t know why.

"When we were together, he was such a private person. He always has been until lately.

"He didn’t mention it and I didn’t mention it. I loved him though, he was amazing.

A source shared with Heat : "It’s always eaten away at Tom that he dumped Sofia and chose Katie [Holmes] instead, which turned out to be a disaster in the end.

"In hindsight, he does admit that Sofia would have been a far better match, even if he does think she’s feisty.

"She checks almost every box for Tom. She’s stunningly beautiful, enormously successful, and isn't prepared to settle for second best.

"The physical attraction's there, and Tom's convinced that, together, they could be a Hollywood power couple.

"He’s been putting out the feelers through mutual friends, and if she bites, he’s all set to pounce."

"Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out for them. They have now decided they are better as friends.

"They get on really well and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year.

"But what was working behind closed doors didn’t work out so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again."

Shakira thought the Tom Cruise relationship rumors were "hilarious because it’s just not true"

Penélope Cruz and Tom Cruise first met on the set of Vanilla Sky (2001), Cameron Crowe's hit thriller, in 2000. Cruise portrayed a charming millionaire who fell in love with Cruz's character, Sofia. Cruz and Cruise hit it off immediately, but there was a something keeping them apart.

When the two stars met, Cruise was still married to Nicole Kidman. The marriage was at its end regardless of Cruise's attraction to Cruz, and nothing happened between them until Cruise was separated from Kidman.

Though they had a decently sized age-gap, the difference in age did not seem to bother Cruise nor Cruz.

5 Why Did Tom Cruise And Penélope Cruz Split?

close-up of Penelope Cruz

According to Standard , Cruz struggled in their relationship because she couldn't fit in with his family or get his children to accept her. Additionally, she was growing frustrated with the fact that Tom Cruise was still regularly talking to Kidman and said that he would always love her.

That is at least what supposedly went on behind closed doors. The official version of the growing trouble in paradise was blamed on the fact that they were shooting movies in different parts of the world. Consequently, it was growing harder and harder for the two to spend any quality time together.

4 Was The Church Of Scientology Involved In The Cruise/Cruz Split?

While many celebrities decided to leave the Church of Scientology , Tom Cruise remains a passionate follower to this day. According to Hindustan Times , Cruz "Pulled the plug on the relationship because she felt that the Church of Scientology was the third wheel in their relationship. Penélope doesn't have anything against the Church, but it just wasn't her thing. She admired Tom's dedication to it, but it wasn't her cup of tea and wasn't something she wanted to give her life up for."

3 Ultimately, Cruz Decided To Leave Tom Cruise​​​​​​​

Between having to listen to late-night calls to his ex-wife and deal with the role of religion in his life, Cruz soon decided that this relationship was not meant to be and left Cruise.

"The relationship just ran its course, and they decided not to be girlfriend and boyfriend anymore," said a publicist at the time.

Details of Tom Cruise's Split With Elsina Khayrova Revealed

Details of Tom Cruise 's split from Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova have been revealed, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The Mission: Impossible star went public with his relationship with Khayrova at a party in London's Grosvenor Square in early December — but after a few short months of dating, the couple called it quits after Cruise allegedly asked her to marry him.

After three divorces, Cruise allegedly thought he'd found The One in Khayrova. According to a sensational report, sources claimed Cruise "fell for her hard" and the " romance was going along smoothly."

"They knew everything about each other," an insider dished to Star magazine. "She knew all about his past — and he was fascinated with learning everything he could about her."

" Tom was in love with Elsina and when he's in love he moves fast," the source said. "Then he did what he always does when he finds a woman he loves, he asked her to marry him."

The alleged proposal — and the actor's intensity — reportedly sent the socialite spiraling.

"She started questioning why Tom was in such a rush to tie the knot," the source said. "It was all moving too fast. She got scared off."

Khayrova was said to be shocked and overwhelmed but ultimately accepted Cruise's proposal . Days later, she started having second thoughts when the actor began feverishly planning their alleged nuptials.

"He was obsessed with getting all the details exactly right, like Elsina's favorite flowers and colors, her favorite foods — even her wedding dress and the honeymoon," a tipster revealed.

Of course, sources said the devout Scientologist wanted a double-ring wedding per the church's traditions, likely including the A-R-C triangle, which represents "Affinity, Reality and Communication — the component parts of Understanding."

"Tom was handling every aspect of it and it started freaking Elsina out," the source explained.

When Elsina decided to call off the engagement and end the relationship, the insider claimed, "She sat Tom down and told him she couldn't go through with it."

"She explained that she had gotten caught up in the moment, but needed a break," the source continued. "He was shocked that she changed her mind. She broke his heart."

Now, a desperate Tom is allegedly determined to get her back.

"He's been sending her flowers and jewelry, but Elsina says she needs time apart to think," the tipster said, adding that the divorced mother-of-two is unlikely to change her mind. "It seems like for her, it's over."

RadarOnline.com has reached out to Cruise's reps for comment.
