Tom Cruise's 3 Marriages to Romance Rumors with Blonde Actress Ana de Armas: All About His Love Life Through the Years
Tom Cruise's dating history has been as high-profile as his career. From marriages to A-list romances, the Mission: Impossible star has had a long list of partners, many of whom were famous actors or celebrities. As one of Hollywood's top stars, Cruise's love life, from Nicole Kidman to recent rumors with Ana de Armas, continues to generate public interest. Early rumored relationships: Melissa Gilbert, Heather Locklear, Cher, and more Before he became a global star, Tom Cruise was linked to several celebrities. In the 1980s, Melissa Gilbert confirmed they dated briefly, saying on Watch What Happens Live, 'We made out, but honestly, there was no sex…I actually bought him his first set of dishes.' Heather Locklear also recalled a brief date with Cruise early in his career. On Chelsea Lately in 2013, she said, 'He started doing the splits. You just kind of stand there and don't know what to do.' Cruise also dated Risky Business co-star Rebecca De Mornay in 1983. Their relationship lasted around two years. In 1985, he had a short romance with Cher, who later called him one of her 'top five lovers' on Watch What Happens Live. Marriage to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman Cruise married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987, but they divorced three years later. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Cruise said, 'She's my best friend.' Their split was followed by Cruise's second and most famous marriage to Nicole Kidman in 1990 after meeting on Days of Thunder. The couple adopted two children, Isabella and Connor, before divorcing in 2001. Cruise told Vanity Fair, 'She knows why, and I know why…sometimes you just have to face the brutal reality.' Penélope Cruz, Nazanin Boniadi, and Katie Holmes After his divorce, Cruise dated Vanilla Sky co-star Penélope Cruz from 2001 to 2004. He then had a brief relationship with Scientologist and General Hospital actress Nazanin Boniadi from 2004 to 2005, which Vanity Fair later claimed was arranged by the Church (which denied the report). Cruise's third marriage was to Dawson's Creek star Katie Holmes in 2006. Known as 'TomKat,' their relationship included Cruise's famous couch-jumping moment on Oprah. They had a daughter, Suri, and divorced in 2012. Recent dating rumors: Laura Prepon, Hayley Atwell, Elsina Khayrova, and Ana de Armas In 2014, Cruise was rumored to be dating Orange Is the New Black star Laura Prepon, who denied it: 'Apparently I'm dating Tom Cruise right now,' she told SheKnows. Hayley Atwell, his Mission: Impossible 7 co-star, was also linked to Cruise in 2021 after they were seen together at Wimbledon. In December 2023, Cruise went public with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova. 'They're very happy,' a source told US Weekly. But by early 2024, they had broken up. 'They just had different ideas of what their relationship was going to be,' an insider explained. Most recently, Cruise sparked romance rumors with Blonde actress Ana de Armas in early 2025. The two were spotted in London, and Cruise reportedly flew her in a helicopter before her birthday. A source said their relationship is 'still new,' adding, 'She doesn't like the public attention…that's one of the things Tom likes about her.'

Rebecca De Mornay Spills on Working with 'Tough Cookie' Bella Thorne In New Film, Saint Clare (Exclusive)
"I did not have to do a lot of research about what it's like to be an aging actress," De Mornay said of her role in the film -- before sharing why her plan to become a director "collapsed" in the '90s. Rebecca De Mornay is opening up about working with Bella Thorne in the new thriller Saint Clare, in which the Risky Business star plays an "aging actress." De Mornay appears in the film as Gigi, an ex-actress and grandmother to Thorne's Clare Bleeker, a sociopathic killer seeking vengeance for the missing women in her neighborhood. For De Mornay, getting into character was both easy in some aspects but a challenge in other ways. "I did not have to do a lot of research about what it's like to be an aging actress," De Mornay, 65, joked. "It was just too funny to be offered a movie where I'm playing an eccentric, ex-movie star," she said, "I thought, 'OK, this I can do.'" But the character of Gigi is more of a free-spirit, something De Mornay said is not the case for her. "To have that kind of freedom," she continued, "I'm just more thoughtful and more anxious than that," she laughed. "So that was sort of liberating to play," she then confessed. Playing a maternal figure to Thorne's Clare, De Mornay said it was her job to instill in her on-screen granddaughter that "We don't take s--t. You don't have to take it. We do our own thing, we live independently." "I had an immediate rapport with Bella. Sort of an unspoken thing," she said of working with the younger star. "There's a certain boldness, a certain defiance, a certain independence that we both have." "She's a tough cookie, you know? As am I," De Mornay continued. "I think we both really like to have fun, also. As soon as I got there we were taking selfie polaroids of each other, together, and it was just effortless – the connection." "But when we were shooting, she very much stayed in character of Clare with this suppressive secret and worries -- that she was carrying the whole film," she added. In addition to working with Thorne in the film, the movie serves as a reunion between the actress and Frank Whaley. The two starred on Outer Limits episode De Mornay also directed way back in 1995 -- with De Mornay recalling the encouragement Whaley gave her to become a director. "I was happy about that because I cast him in that 30 years ago and here he is again! So that was also another good sign," she said of the actor appearing in the film, despite them not sharing any scenes together. "I remember he said to me then, 'You've gotta direct again. You are really a director,'" she remembered from the '90s. "I was on that path, until I started throwing up and turned out I was pregnant with my first daughter," "And I written a script that I set up to direct and then I got it set up a second time and I started throwing up again and I was pregnant with my second daughter," she told TooFab. "And then the whole idea of directing collapsed for 20 years!" While that one Outer Limits episode remains her one directing credit, De Mornay has continued to work steadily in both film and television. Following her breakout role in Risky Business opposite Tom Cruise, she later starring in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, The Shining miniseries, Wedding Crashers, American Reunion and, most recently, played Dorothy Walker on Jessica Jones.

Tom Cruise's former girlfriend admits what she really thinks of him four decades after their romance
Rebecca De Mornay has nothing but love for her "Risky Business" co-star and ex, Tom Cruise. The actress met Cruise on the set of their breakout film in 1982. They dated for nearly three years after the teen comedy was released in 1983. "I'm really proud of him," the 65-year-old recently told Page Six about her former flame. De Mornay described the 63-year-old as a "major chord" while she labeled herself "a minor chord." She said that Cruise had always been ambitious and eager to make his dreams a reality. "He's like, 'I am "Top Gun,"' and that's what America really wanted, and so he's fulfilled it," De Mornay gushed. "He is a brilliant, brilliant interpreter of what the zeitgeist is. I'm really, really proud of knowing him from when we were in the suburbs of Chicago [filming 'Risky Business'], and knowing what he wanted and where it is now." She added, "We started this together and look what he did with it." Fox News Digital reached out to Cruise for comment. One of De Mornay's latest appearances was in the thriller "Saint Claire," opposite Bella Thorne and Ryan Phillippe. It tells the tale of "an avenging serial killer [Thorne] who murders misbehaving men," Page Six reported. "It's very rare that I read scripts about a female serial killer who's obsessed with Joan of Arc, which I thought was just brilliant," De Mornay shared. In "Risky Business," Cruise plays Joel Goodsen, a high school student who stays home alone while his parents are on vacation. He goes on to meet a prostitute named Lana [De Mornay]. For the role, Cruise earned his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Cruise went on to make his mark in blockbusters like "Top Gun" and the "Mission: Impossible" film franchise. De Mornay was just 24 years old when "Risky Business" skyrocketed her to fame. "It was personally jarring and thrilling and discombobulating to have become famous so quickly," she told TheWrap back in 2023. "Tom and I were together when the movie came out, and we had photographers jumping out of bushes, the pre-paparazzi days." "I was a more complicated, mysterious presence, innately, than Tom," she reflected at the time. "His presence is more like, I would say, a major chord, [thinking] in music terms, and I'm more of a minor chord… America really, really loves the major chords." After playing Lana, De Mornay was labeled a sex symbol. To avoid being typecast, she took on the grittier role of a railway worker for 1985's "Runaway Train." WATCH: TOM CRUISE CREDITED FOR TEACHER-TURNED-ACTOR'S JOB CHANGE "You reach people on many levels," she explained to the outlet about being a sex symbol. "You can reach people when they're sexually attracted to you. It doesn't have to be that it's all about sex, but when you touch someone on that level, it brings them in to perhaps other things about you." "I am an actress, and I could be a sex symbol, but I am an actress, first and foremost," she added. Over the years, De Mornay stepped away from glamorous roles and was selective about which projects to take on. As both an actress and mom to two daughters, she wanted to make sure her children weren't separated from their father. "I'm not quite sure how some of these very famous actresses with children, how they do it. Maybe they're good at multitasking? I'm not," she admitted to the outlet. "… [But] it's always been important to me to choose roles where there [is] some model of strength to women, regardless of what they do or how they do it," she added.

Rebecca De Mornay reflects on relationship with 'Risky Business' co-star and ex Tom Cruise
Rebecca De Mornay is opening up about her former relationship with Tom Cruise, expressing admiration for the actor and their early days together. In a recent interview with Page Six while promoting her new thriller Saint Clare, the 65-year-old actress spoke warmly about Cruise, whom she dated for nearly three years after meeting on the set of Risky Business in 1982. 'I'm really, really proud of him,' De Mornay said, acknowledging Cruise's extraordinary rise to Hollywood superstardom. The 1983 film, which launched both of their careers, remains a cultural touchstone, and De Mornay credited Cruise's drive and vision even back then. 'He is a brilliant interpreter of the zeitgeist,' she added. 'We started this together and look what he did with it.' De Mornay reflected on their differences, likening Cruise to a 'major chord' and herself to a 'minor chord,' noting that his career path fulfilled what America wanted, while she pursued more unconventional and gritty roles after Risky Business. Her filmography includes Runaway Train, Backdraft, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and a role in Marvel's Jessica Jones. Now, De Mornay appears in Saint Clare, a dark thriller starring Bella Thorne as a serial killer with a fixation on Joan of Arc. De Mornay said she was drawn to the project by its unique perspective. 'It's very rare that I read scripts about a female serial killer who's obsessed with Joan of Arc,' she explained. 'I just wanted to be a support to this project.' Despite the film's violent themes, she admitted she didn't initially associate it with real-life figures like Jeffrey Epstein. 'I never even thought of that… it's freaky that that would come into it,' she said.
