Tom Cruise has had a series of high-profile relationships, but currently, he is single and focused on his busy filming schedule.

He has been in relationships with celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes and has been known for his romantic connections. However, with his busy schedule, it is uncertain if he is ready to date at the moment. 

1981: Melissa Gilbert

Melissa Gilbert has since stated that her relationship with Tom Cruise was not what it seemed. In her book, she revealed that they only went on one date and she was not interested in pursuing a relationship with him.

She also clarified that they did not have a physical relationship and that her statement about Tom being a “good kisser” was made in jest. It is important to fact-check and take celebrity rumors with a grain of salt.

1983: Rebecca De Mornay

Tom Cruise nor Rebecca Ferguson have publicly confirmed any romantic involvement during the filming of “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.”

While their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, it appears that any potential “intense affair” between the two remains unconfirmed and unacknowledged. Let’s focus on their incredible performances in the film instead.

1985: Patti Scialfa

Tom also had a brief relationship with singer-songwriter Patti Scialfa, who is best known as a member of the E Street Band and the wife of Bruce Springsteen. According to a 1988 People magazine profile, Tom and Patti dated for a short period in 1985.

1985: Cher

Tom and Cher’s relationship is a classic case of fate bringing two people together. They first met at the site of a celebrity wedding, which is known for sparking many love connections.

However, their paths crossed again when they both attended an event at the White House, solidifying their connection. It just goes to show that sometimes, love finds a way to bring people together in unexpected ways.

1987 to 1990: Mimi Rogers

Tom Cruise’s glowing praise of his first wife, Mimi Rogers, their marriage ultimately ended in divorce. In a 1990 interview with Rolling Stone, Tom credited Mimi for helping him become a better actor and expressed his deep love and admiration for her.

However, in a 1991 interview with People, Mimi revealed that she struggled with maintaining her own identity and always being referred to as “Tom Cruise’s wife.”

This could have been a contributing factor to their split, although the exact reason for their divorce remains unknown.

1990 to 2001: Nicole Kidman

Tom and Nicole’s marriage ultimately did not last. In 2001, they decided to divorce after 11 years of marriage. It is unclear what caused their split, but rumors of infidelity and control issues on Tom’s part have circulated.

Regardless, they both moved on and have had successful careers and relationships since. They also remain co-parents to their two adopted children, showing that their love for their family transcends their romantic relationship.

2001 to 2004: Penélope Cruz

Tom Cruise and Penélope Cruz are no exception. The two met while working on the movie Vanilla Sky and were together for three years.

However, their relationship ended in March 2004, with a source stating that their busy schedules and long-distance played a major role in the breakup. Despite their seemingly long relationship, they decided to go their separate ways and move on with their careers.

2005: Sofía Vergara

Tom and Sofía Vergara’s relationship was ultimately short-lived. Their brief dating period in 2005 came to an abrupt end when it was revealed that Tom was being pressured by the Church of Scientology to convert her to their religion.

This requirement of conversion was a major deal-breaker for Sofía, who was a devout Catholic at the time. It was a difficult decision, but she ultimately chose to end things with Tom rather than compromise her beliefs.

This serves as a reminder that even the most promising relationships can be derailed by external pressures and conflicting values.

2005 to 2012: Katie Holmes

Tom and Katie Holmes (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.

The couple divorced in 2012, and Katie got full custody of Suri. Despite their initial picture-perfect image, their marriage ultimately ended in divorce and custody battles, showing that not all relationships are as perfect as they may seem.

2020 to 2022: Hayley Atwell

Tom and Hayley Atwell, who were costars in Mission Impossible, were rumored to be dating for a while. The Sun reported that they split in June of this year, and Tom is currently single and possibly looking for a new romantic partner.

This news may come as a disappointment to those who were rooting for the on-screen couple to become a real-life pair, but it seems that Tom is ready to move on and focus on his career and personal life.

2023: Shakira (Maybe)

Despite the rumors, there is no evidence to suggest that Shakira and Tom Cruise have any romantic involvement. While they may have met at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2023 and snapped some photos together, there is no indication that their relationship is anything more than friendly.

Shakira’s split from her husband and rumors of infidelity have no connection to her meeting with Tom Cruise. Until either party confirms a romantic relationship, these rumors should not be taken seriously.

2023: Sofía Vergara

Tom and Sofía’s relationship in 2005 was short-lived as Tom went on to marry Katie Holmes. However, now that Sofía is single again after her split with Joe Manganiello, rumors have emerged that Tom wants to rekindle their romance.

According to an insider, they had a fun time together in the past, but their relationship didn’t progress into anything serious as Sofía was not looking for a long-term commitment. Despite their brief romance, they remained friends and have maintained a good relationship.
