Image Credit: Getty Images Tom Cruise's love life has been closely followed for decades, ever since making his breakthrough in the 1983 classic Risky Business. His romantic history consists of three famous marriages (all of which ended, coincidentally, when his wives were 33 years old) and a string of other high-profile romances. But between 2012-2020, Tom seemingly pumped the brakes on public romances. However, there was renewed interest in the love life of one of Hollywood's most famous bachelors after a new report surfaced in December 2020. It claimed that Tom was dating his co-star Hayley Atwell from Mission: Impossible 7. In June 2022, another report came out that the pair broke up. In 2023, Tom reportedly moved on with model Elsina Khayrova. But by 2025, it appeared that Ana de Armas captured Tom's heart. We have more information on Tom's many other romances since the '80s below.

This was at the very beginning of his career! "Actually, when I dated him he was Tom Mapother still. It was when he first moved to Los Angeles and I think I was 16, maybe, or 17?," Melissa said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2017. "I did not have sex with him," Laura added. "We made out, but, honestly, there was no sex. He was a good kisser. But, you know, he was, like, a struggling, starving actor. I actually bought him his first set of dishes." Melissa even reminisced on her friendship/past relationship with her fellow "Brat Pack" pal, Tom, in a throwback Instagram post shared in October 2019. Heather Locklear Photo Credit: Globe Photos/MediaPunch /IPX Heather Locklear was never Tom's girlfriend, but she did go on one (sort of) date with him. It didn't go well, according to her recollection. The Melrose Place star explained in a 2013 interview on Chelsea Lately that they had both "auditioned for something" together, back when Tom "didn't have friends" in Hollywood in the early '80s. So, they went dancing. "You know in 'Risky Business' where he does that dance in his underwear and does the splits? We were dancing at a club and he went into that. He starting doing the splits," Heather said. "You just kind of stand there and don't know what to do. Do you dance around him? So, I was like, 'I'll just sit down and you can.'" "And that was the only date you had?," Chelsea Handler then asked Heather, to which the actress said, "I think so." Tom and Heather are pictured above together in 1981. Rebecca De Mornay Rebecca de Mornay and Tom played lovers in Tom's breakthrough film, Risky Business, which came out in 1983. Their on-screen chemistry turned out to be real! Although Rebecca joked that Tom was "extremely annoying" at first, she admitted, "He came to grow on me because we wound up together for two and a half years after that film" in a 2018 interview with Celebrity Page. Cher Photo Credit: AP Images Tom famously made Cher's "Top 5" lovers list, which she revealed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2013. "I had just the greatest lovers ever. Not a long list. It's just a good list," the singer had said. Cher explained how she and Tom connected in a separate interview. "A bunch of people who were dyslexic were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic. We didn't go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there," Cher told the Mail on Sunday in 2018. She added, "Though I don't get what he does, that whole Scientology thing. I can't understand it so I just... don't." Mimi Rogers Photo Credit: AP Photo/Lennox McLendon It was during this relationship that Tom infamously joined the Church of Scientology, which he is a prominent figure in to this day. When Tom met actress Mimi Rogers, she had been a few years divorced from Scientologist Jim Rogers. "I met her at a dinner party about a year ago, when I was developing Top Gun. She was dating a friend, and, uh, I thought she was extremely bright," Tom recalled in a 1986 interview with Rolling Stone. However, Mimi had a conflicting story. "I wasn't seeing anybody, he wasn't seeing anybody, and they thought, 'These people should be going out with somebody - let's see if they want to go out with each other.' And we said, 'Aw, what the heck. OK'," Mimi told the Sun Sentinel in 1987. Tom sounded smitten in another Rolling Stone interview, which was published mere days before his split from Mimi was announced in 1990. "I'd never been in love before. Since I've been with her, it's opened me up a lot. I think it's helped me be a better actor. We live a lot of life together. We share everything," he gushed, later adding, "I care about my wife more than anything in the world. She's my best friend. I just really like being with her, you know? I love her." The divorce was finalized in February 1990, three years after they got married. Nicole Kidman Photo Credit: AP Ph
