A year after Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise in June 2012, the actor and dad of three is still going solo. Here, we look back at all his former flames -- from Cher to Nicole Kidman to Mimi Rogers — and highlight his most memorable onscreen ladies!
Cher:
During a June 2013 interview with Andy Cohen, the singer recalled her early 80s romance with a much-younger Cruise very fondly, and that the actor was on her top five list of all-time lovers. Despite the attraction, Cher told Oprah Winfrey in 2008 they split because of their busy schedules.
Heather Locklear:
During a 2013 appearance on Chelsea Lately, the actress recalled her one date with the actor. "It wasn't really a date," Locklear argued of their rumored relationship in 1982. "We had auditioned for something together and we went out and we went dancing." But Cruise busted out his Risky Business moves, Locklear explained: "We were dancing at a club and... He starting doing the splits.
Rebecca De Mornay:
Cruise and his 1983 Risky Business costar were getting frisky off-screen together as well. After meeting on set, the couple lived together in New York from 1983 to 1985 before breaking up.
Melissa Gilbert:
The actress admitted to dating Cruise during an interview with Access Hollywood. "I went out with Tom Cruise a couple of times," she said. "He's a great guy, great sense of humor... very generous, very sweet." But Gilbert hinted that there wasn't much more than a physical connection: "There was nothing much to it. OK, [we] made out on mom's couch…it didn't suck
Mimi Rogers:
Cruise married the actress in 1987 when he was 24 years old. While she was the first person to introduce him to Scientology, their love didn't last and they divorced in 1990. In 1993,Rogers joked to Playboy that Cruise "was seriously thinking of becoming a monk...Therefore it became obvious we had to split."
Nicole Kidman:
Cruise met Kidman while filming Days of Thunder in 1989 and tied the knot to the Aussie star in 1990, when he was 28. The pair adopted two children, daughter Isabella and son Connor, but separated in 2001. In a 2002 interview with Vanity Fair, she hinted that she sacrificed too much. "I realized I could be fulfilled creatively," she said. "I tried to deny it because it would have been so much easier for me to be by being a wife. I wish it could have been part of my trajectory, but it wasn't."
Penelope Cruz:
Cruise-Cruz just couldn't make their 2001 to 2004 romance last. A September 2012 Vanity Fair article reported that the Vanilla Sky costars split because she wouldn't convert to Scientology, refusing to give up her own devout Buddhist beliefs. But in two different statements by the stars' reps, they denied that their religious differences were to blame. "They broke up at the end of January and it's amicable," said Cruise's publicist. Added Cruz's spokesman: "They remain good friends."
Katie Holmes:
Cruise's third marriage was sadly not the charm. After getting engaged following two months of dating, the couple welcomed daughter Suri in April 2006 (he was 44; she was 27) and wed in November 2006. By June 2013, the Ohio-born actress shocked Cruise by filing for divorce, asking for primary and physical custody of Suri. In a statement released by his rep, Cruise said he was "deeply saddened" by the breakup. "He is concentrating on his three children," the statement read.
