Mission: Impossible, Ethan Hunt and Tom Cruise are certainly the same person with utterly different personalities. Mr. Cruise is still a bustling bachelor, with controversies and a fair share of dating life at his age, given his popularity. His timeline is very interesting to look at, with top heroines now joining the list, we have none other than Ana de Armas. Let’s recall his dating history in a clear and detailed manner below.
Early Dating in Teens
At 19 years old, Tom Cruise had his first relationship with Melissa Gilbert. It was a brief, clean adolescent romance; she even stated, “No Sex, he was a Good kisser”. This was in his very early career before fame in 1981. Right next we have Rebecca De Mornay, his co-star on Risky Business. She was Tom’s proper girlfriend for three years till they broke up in 1985.
In the same year, he dated two popular American singers for a brief period. First was a short fling with Bruce Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa, who is five years older than him. After there’s a proven record that Tom Cruise had a quick phase with Cher, which sparked at an official event. While he was just 25, Cher was thirteen years older than him.
Two Marriages in a Row
Tom Cruise met his proper suitor in 1985, Mimi Rogers, at a party; they later married on May 9, 1987, and got divorced by February 1990 with a spouse settlement of $4 million. Mimi, his first wife, introduced him to a human-created religion called “Scientology”.
There is an infamous rumour that the divorce allegedly happened because of the actor’s extramarital affair or dating with Nicole Kidman. They acted in the film “Days of Thunder” in 1989, and shortly after their divorce, they married in the same year, 1990. Later adopted two beautiful children, Isabella in 1992 and Connor in 1995.Â
However, his second marriage, which lasted ten years, ended in a sudden divorce and shock in Hollywood. They divorced by April 2001 due to personality differences, and some fans mention his Scientology beliefs are the main reason. This religion is like a branch of Christianity, but self-focused. It promotes living without relationships and as a good person, but it’s been a very, very controversial religion.
Brief dates in their 40s
Just like his first and second marriages, Tom Cruise didn’t take a long break before getting into a relationship with another co-star. He was 43 years old when he started dating Penelope Cruz; he fell in love on the sets of Vanilla Sky. This dating period lasted for a good full three years, till they took a consensual breakup in 2004.
It’s surprising, but there was a brief romance between Mission: Impossible actor and Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara in 2005. It is noted that Will Smith was the introducer, and they met and attracted to each other at the Pre-Oscars party; however, Sofia later stated that their differences in Scientology and religion stayed back as a short fling.
Third Marriage
The bachelor became a family man for the third time with Katie Holmes in November 2006. They got engaged in June 2005, and by April 2006, his first legitimate daughter, Suri Holmes, was born. However, this famous marriage too ended up in divorce within a six-year timeline. They got separated legally in Italy in 2012, believing that Katie was opposed to his upbringing of Suri. Well, the parental duties went to the mother.

Relationships at 60 years
Many say, Tom Cruise‘s handsomeness and spiteful nature get better with age, well, so the rumours. This one is denied, but media surfaced that Tom Cruise was in a short relationship with his co-star Hayley Atwell of MI: Dead Reckoning. Next, a Russian socialite, Elsina Khayrova, was in an alleged romance for months in London.
At present, the 63-year-old actor is in a happy relationship with the Blonde actor Ana De Armas. Despite the age gap, they seem happy with Valentine’s Day dates, helicopter dates, and many events. There is no confirmation, but they maintain it low-key. In a recent interview, the new girlfriend, Anna, mentioned that both are working with directors Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie on a project, still unknown.
