Tom Cruise's Famous Girlfriends: From Cher to Katie Holmes
Tom Cruise (July 3, 1962, Syracuse) is immersed in the filming of 'Mission: Impossible 7' (2022), which will hit theaters on May 27. It seems that the actor has found love on the set, since the interpreter was caught in the company of Hayley Atwell (April 5, 1982, London). Rumors of romance have been circulating for months, but his appearance at the Wimbledon final on July 10 appears to have confirmed the speculation.
It all started in December 2020, when the artist and his co-star were caught showing a lot of chemistry in the middle of filming. Seven months later, during the tennis match, Cruise (he is 20 years older than her) and Atwell were accompanied by Pom Klementieff, an actress who also participates in 'Mission: Impossible 7'. In the stands we could see the supposed couple sharing confidences and laughing.
"Tom and Hayley got along well from day one. The confinement and all the difficulties it entails brought them even closer together and they have become inseparable. They have been hanging out after work and she has been at her London home. They get along very well. and they both seem very happy, "a source close to the production of the film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, told The Sun.
Atwell, who plays a still unknown character, is famous for having played Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She has also participated in feature films such as 'Cassandra's Dream' (2007), 'Return to Brideshead' (2008) or 'The Duchess' (2008). If her relationship is confirmed, it would not be the first time that the protagonist of 'Top Gun' (1986) has a relationship with another celebrity.

One of Tom Cruise's first known girlfriends was Melissa Gilbert. They dated in the early 80s, when they were both teenagers. "We kissed but there was no sex. He kissed well. He was a hungry actor and in distress. In fact I bought the first tableware of him", related the actress in 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen' (2009-). Shortly after, our protagonist had a brief romance with Heather Locklear, the protagonist of 'Melrose Place' (1992-1999).
He also dated Rebecca De Mornay, with whom he shared blueprints in 'Risky Business' (1983). "At first he was very annoying, extremely annoying. He matured with me because we were together two and a half years after the movie," the actress recalled in 2018 in an interview with Celebrity Page. They maintained their long-distance relationship while he was filming 'Legend' (1985) in the UK but broke up when he returned to America to record 'Top Gun'.
Many will not know that the American also had an affair with Cher in 1985. "A group of dyslexic people were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are dyslexic. We started dating later, but there was certainly a connection," said the singer to The Daily Mail. In another interview with Oprah Winfrey the artist revealed that she came to live with Cruise. "I lived in his apartment. I was crazy about him. He was wonderful," she commented.
She was at a dinner in 1985 where he met Mimi Rogers. Both went through the altar in May 1987, but their relationship did not last long: they divorced in 1990. The actress and her family belonged to the Church of Scientology and everything indicates that she was the first contact that our protagonist had with the controversial move.
The 59-year-old New Yorker remarried in 1990 with Nicole Kidman, whom he met at the casting of 'Days of Thunder' (1990). "He surprised me. I fell madly and passionately in love. He consumed me. I was desperate to have a baby with him. I didn't care if we were married. That's what I wish I had done," she explained to Vanity Fair. Together they adopted Connor and Bella, but their love affair ended in divorce in 2001.
The one from Syracuse also dated Penélope Cruz for three years. Their affair began on the set of 'Vanilla Sky' (2001) and they announced their separation in 2004. "They are still good friends and still talk often. There is no other person involved," clarified a spokesman for the Spanish through a statement. .
His third marriage came in 2006, when he married Katie Holmes. They became parents that same year with the arrival of Suri, but they divorced in 2012. Apparently, Cruise's beliefs had a lot to do with the breakup. "I do not want that moment of my life to define me. I was an actress before, I was an actress during and I continued being an actress after," the protagonist of 'Dawson grows up' (1998-2003) told People about her relationship.
She has subsequently been related to other celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Laura Prepon or Vanessa Kirby, who is also part of the 'Mission Impossible' saga. However, none of these relationships have been confirmed. For now, we will have to wait until Cruise or Atwell corroborate or deny their affair.
