A romance punctuated by the continual breakup rumors
With their breakup, Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise have put an end to a movie romance that began with the filming of Vanilla Sky and that crossed the big screen: a love that made them 'the Hollywood couple' and that has filled the front pages of the world press.

But during the last three years, Tom and Penelope, have happily walked through the red carpets of half the world oblivious to the continuous speculation poured out on them, and even distanced by work reasons (perhaps this is the reason now for their breakup) they have not put borders to your courtship by meeting in any city, country or state to spend a few hours together.
