Over the years, Cruise has earned the reputation of a private individual. He never speaks about his failed marriages, nor he publicly comes forward with new love interests. Despite that, he has been a subject of countless relationship rumors.

Let’s take a quick look at his love life.  

Ex-wife No. 1 Mimi Rogers:

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Tom Cruise Fan♥ (@tom_cruise_fan_k) on Mar 15, 2020 at 9:30am PDT

The actor first got married to actress Mimi Rogers in New York City on May 9, 1987; however, the couple divorced after three years in 1990. Mimi was the one who introduced him to Scientology.

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Nicole Eileen Kerester (@carolvickinevefan84) on Jan 26, 2019 at 9:29pm PST

Before the divorce in 1989, Cruise and Mimi released a joint statement acknowledging the failed state of their relationship.

Ex-wife No. 2 Nicole Kidman:

Cruise’s second marriage to American-Australian actress Nicole Kidman was his longest, which lasted from 1990 to 2001.

They got married on Dec.24, 1990, in Telluride, Colorado. During their time as a couple, the two adopted two children : daughter Isabella Cruise, born in 1992, and son Connor Cruise, born in 1995. Their marital relationship ended when Tom filed for divorce in 2001, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Cruise and Nicole and Nicole Kidman first met on the set of the 1989 movie,  Days Of Thunder.

Ex-wife No. 3 Katie Holmes:

The Tropic Thunder star’s third and last marriage was to Katie Holmes. The couple got married in Rome on Nov.18, 2006, seven months after welcoming their only child, Suri Cruise. Seemingly, Tom and Katie’s mutual love for their daughter wasn’t enough to save the marriage from plummeting, and the two divorced in 2012.

Holmes and Katie’s relationship was highly publicized in 2005. The previous year Katie told a reporter from Seventeen magazine about her crush on the Top Gun star. 

I used to think that I was going to marry Tom Cruise.

Holmes and her fiance Chris Lein ended their relationship after five years in 2005, according to People . Then in April 2005, a source Of People magazine confirmed that they had been dating for weeks after they were photographed together in Rome.

The official confirmation of their relationship occurred during Cruise’s appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on May 23, 2005. Talking to Oprah and the fans, he jumped up on the set’s couch and professed his love with electrifying energy.

The moment is perhaps the only time when Cruise has been publicly vocal about his love life.  

Ex-girlfriends and Dating Life:

Till now,   Tom has also been linked with the likes of Laura Prepon, Penelope Cruz, Rebecca De Mornay, Elisabeth Moss, and more. 

How Is Tom Cruise’s Public Image Shaped By His Personal Life?

The lack of a lasting relationship in Tom’s life has often made him a subject of jokes—especially gay jokes. For instance, in one of the episodes of Family Guy , the lead character Peter Griffin jokes about Tom Cruise running in all his movies to escape his “gay thoughts.” Similarly, the show also made fun of his relationship with Katie Holmes, calling Katie a hostage during her marriage with Tom.

Family Guy isn’t the only TV show to make fun of Tom’s love life.  South Park also took a jibe at him in episode 12 of its season nine. Though the animated series didn’t question Tom’s sexuality in literal words, it showed the actor literally hiding in the closet and others speaking about his rejection to come out of it. 

Other than the animated shows, YouTubers, journalists, and bloggers also take great pride in making fun of various parts of Tom’s life, including his height, faith in Scientology, and such. However, Tom seems unconcerned by his roasts.

Tom Cruise Net Worth: How Much Is Tom Cruise Worth?

Tom Cruise is a box-office king. As of 2020, WealthyGorilla lists him as the third richest actor in the world. His net worth of $570 million only followed behind Jami Gertz ($3 billion) and Shah Rukh Khan ($600 million).

Shields fired back arguing that women dealing with postpartum depression should choose their treatments.

Medical experts criticized Cruise for reinforcing the stigma around mental illness which can deter people from seeking help. Cruise later apologized to Shields for his remarks. His views on psychiatry stem from his affiliation with Scientology which opposes mainstream psychiatric practices and drugs.

Cruise’s comments have also reportedly strained his relationships including with director Steven Spielberg who was upset when Scientologists protested outside a doctor’s office Spielberg had recommended. These controversies have been highlighted in media and documentaries like “Going Clear” which delve into Cruise’s role within Scientology and its practices including allegations about his personal life and the treatment of Scientology members.

Cruise known for avoiding alcohol remains a polarizing figure due to his outspoken views on mental health and Scientology’s beliefs.

A famous movie critic, Roger Ebert noticed that a lot of Tom Cruise’s movies from the 1980s were kinda similar. He even gave it a nickname: the “Tom Cruise Picture”. He said these movies had nine main things in common like the main character being played by Cruise, a mentor character, a strong woman, and so on. Even some of Cruise’s later movies, like “A Few Good Men” and “The Last Samurai,” followed this formula.

There’s this website called Widescreenings that talks about how Cruise’s characters in different movies were different. They compared his character in “A Few Good Men” to his character in “Top Gun.” In “A Few Good Men,” Cruise’s character needed to let go and trust himself more, while in Top Gun, he needed to be more disciplined.

But Katie ended the marriage in 2012 citing "irreconcilable differences."

Sources said Katie was "terrified" at the thought of Suri, then six, being brought up and educated as a Scientologist.

Since the divorce Katie has taken primary care of Suri, who looks more like her mom every day.

Tom Cruise Now: Mission Impossible Star Performs Skydiving Stunt at Olympics Closing Ceremony

Tom Cruise wrapped up the 2024 Paris Olympics with a death-defying stunt. During the Olympics closing ceremony on August 11, the actor jumped off the roof of Stage de France and propelled down to the stadium’s floor on a cable, where he greeted athletes and snapped a few selfies as he walked toward the stage. Once on stage, Cruise shook hands with gymnast Simone Biles and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who handed him the Olympic flag. The Mission: Impossible star then secured the flag to the back of his motorcycle and took off.

The 62-year-old then appeared in a previously filmed video clip that showed Cruise driving through the streets of Paris and boarding a plane headed to Los Angeles, symbolizing the passing of the torch from the Paris Games to the Los Angeles Olympics in summer 2028. Cruise put on skydiving gear and jumped out of the plane, soaring through Los Angeles and past the Hollywood sign, which he redesigned to feature the Olympic rings in place of the two Os at the end of Hollywood .

Cruise is famous for doing many of his own stunts in his movies, including the Mission: Impossible and Top Gun franchises. Ahead of the release of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One in July 2023, he told Entertainment Tonight that his most dangerous stunt took years of practice to perfect: “You have to be razor sharp when you do something like that.”

Who Is Tom Cruise?

Quick facts, young tom cruise and parents, scientology, ex-wives: katie holmes, nicole kidman, and mimi rogers.

Actor Tom Cruise has been one of the most prominent movie stars in Hollywood dating back to the 1980s. After developing an interest in acting during high school, he rocketed to fame with his turns in Risky Business and Top Gun . Cruise has since become an action movie veteran, counting the Mission: Impossible franchise, Edge of Tomorrow , and Top Gun: Maverick among his many successes. The four-time Oscar nominee has also earned acclaim for his performance in Born on the Fourth of July , Jerry Maguire , and Magnolia. Off the silver screen, Cruise is one of the most high-profile members of the Church of Scientology and has been married to fellow actors Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes .

FULL NAME: Thomas Cruise Mapother IV BORN: July 3, 1962 BIRTHPLACE: Syracuse, New York SPOUSES: Mimi Rogers (1987-1990), Nicole Kidman (1990-2001), and Katie Holmes (2005-2012) CHILDREN: Isabella, Connor, and Suri ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Cancer

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, better known as Tom Cruise, was born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York. The third of four children, Tom was the only son of Mary Lee South and Thomas Cruise Mapother III. Cruise’s mother was an amateur actor and schoolteacher, and his father was an electrical engineer. His family moved around a great deal when young Tom was a child to accommodate his father’s career.

Tom’s parents divorced when he was 11, and the children moved with their mother to Louisville, Kentucky, and then to Glen Ridge, New Jersey, after she remarried. Like his mother and three sisters, Cruise suffered from dyslexia, which made academic success difficult for him. He excelled in athletics, however, and considered pursuing a career in professional wrestling until a knee injury sidelined him during high school.

At age 14, Cruise enrolled in a Franciscan seminary with thoughts of becoming a priest, but he left after a year. When he was 16, a teacher encouraged him to participate in the school’s production of the musical Guys and Dolls . After Cruise won the lead of Nathan Detroit, he found himself surprisingly at home on the stage, and a career was born.

Early Roles in Taps and The Outsiders

Cruise set a 10-year deadline for himself in which to build an acting career. He left school and moved to New York City, where he struggled through audition after audition before landing an appearance in 1981’s Endless Love , starring Brooke Shields . Around this same time, he snagged a small role in the military school drama Taps (1981), co-starring Sean Penn . His role in Taps was upgraded after director Harold Becker saw Cruise’s potential, and his performance caught the attention of a number of critics and filmmakers .

In 1983, Cruise appeared in Francis Ford Coppola ’s The Outsiders , which also starred Emilio Estevez , Matt Dillon, and Rob Lowe —all prominent members of a group of young actors the entertainment press dubbed the “Brat Pack.” The movie wasn’t well received, but it allowed Cruise to work with an acclaimed director on a high-profile project.

Breakout Role in Risky Business

His next movie, Risky Business (1983), grossed $65 million and become one of the most profitable movies at the box office that year. It also made Cruise a highly recognizable actor—thanks in no small part to a memorable scene of the young star dancing in his underwear.

Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick

In 1986, after a two-year hiatus, the budding actor released the big-budget fantasy film Legend , which did poorly at the box office. That same year, however, Cruise’s A-list status was confirmed with the release of Top Gun , which co-starred Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, and Meg Ryan . The testosterone-fueled action-romance, set against the backdrop of an elite naval flight school, became the highest-grossing movie of 1986.

Decades later, Cruise returned to his role as fighter pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the action-packed sequel Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which picks up more than 30 years after the original. Critics heaped praise on the movie, and in addition to becoming the second highest-grossing film of the year, it earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

Cruise is set to star in a third movie, Top Gun 3 , which doesn’t yet have a release date.

The Color of Money , Rain Man , and Born on the Fourth of July

Cruise followed the tremendous success of the original Top Gun with a string of both critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. First up was The Color of Money (1986) with co-star Paul Newman , then Cruise worked with Dustin Hoffman on Rain Man (1988). Cruise’s next role, as Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in the biopic Born on the Fourth of July (1989), earned him an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe for Best Actor.

A Few Good Men , The Firm , and Interview with a Vampire

In 1992, Cruise proved once more that he could hold his own opposite a screen legend when he co-starred with Jack Nicholson in the military courtroom drama A Few Good Men . The movie grossed more than $15 million its first weekend and earned Cruise another Golden Globe nomination. He continued to demonstrate his success as a leading man with The Firm (1993) and Interview with the Vampire (1994), which co-starred Brad Pitt.

Mission: Impossible Franchise

Next, Cruise hit the big screen with another huge action hit: the $64 million blockbuster Mission: Impossible (1996). In addition to starring in the movie, Cruise also served as a producer. The movie’s popularity spawned another action franchise for Cruise.

The long-awaited smash hit Mission: Impossible 2 arrived in 2000 followed by the also popular Mission: Impossible 3 in 2006. However, Cruise was faced with a professional setback that August when Paramount Pictures ended its 14-year relationship with the actor. The company’s chairman cited Cruise’s erratic behavior and controversial views as the reason for the split, though industry experts noted that Paramount more likely ended the partnership over the actor’s high earnings from the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Ultimately, Cruise and Paramount patched up their relationship and have continued adding films to the franchise. That includes Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol (2011), Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation (2015), Mission: Impossible —Fallout (2018), and most recently, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning (2023).

Jerry McGuire , Eyes Wide Shut , and Magnolia

The same year as the first Mission: Impossible movie, Cruise landed another hit with the highly acclaimed Jerry McGuire (1996), directed by Cameron Crowe. The star secured a second Academy Award nomination and won his second Golden Globe for Best Actor.

Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman spent much of 1997 and 1998 in England shooting Eyes Wide Shut , an erotic thriller that was director Stanley Kubrick ’s final film. The movie came out in the summer of 1999 to mixed reviews, but that same year, Cruise enjoyed greater success with the release of Magnolia . His performance as a self-confident sex guru in the ensemble film earned him another Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Vanilla Sky and The Last Samurai

In 2002, Cruise starred in Vanilla Sky , his second collaboration with director Cameron Crowe, as well as Steven Spielberg ’s Minority Report . The following year, Cruise traveled to Australia to shoot the $100 million war epic The Last Samurai, which earned him another Golden Globe nomination.

War of the Worlds

Cruise proved he remained a top draw by starring in the Steven Spielberg –directed remake of the science-fiction classic War of the Worlds (2005), which grossed more than $230 million at the box office.

The third Mission: Impossible movie added to his list of credits in May 2006, but three months later, his partnership with Paramount Pictures, the franchise’s studio, ended. Cruise quickly rebounded with an announcement early that November: He had a new partnership with film executive Paula Wagner and the United Artists film studio. Their first production as a team, the political drama Lions for Lambs (2007), proved a commercial disappointment despite a strong cast that included Meryl Streep and Robert Redford .

Tropic Thunder

Taking a break from weighty material, Cruise delighted audiences with his performance in the comedy Tropic Thunder (2008). Despite his relatively small role in a movie that featured Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller , Cruise stood out by obscuring his trademark good looks to play a balding, obese movie studio executive.

Valkyrie and Rock of Ages

In December 2008, Cruise released his second project through United Artists. The film, Valkyrie , was a World War II drama about a plot to assassinate German leader Adolf Hitler . Cruise starred as a German army officer who became involved in the conspiracy.

Breaking into new territory after another entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise in 2011 , Cruise starred in the 2012 musical Rock of Ages . Although Cruise received some positive reviews for his performance as a rock star, the movie failed to attract much of an audience.

Jack Reacher , Edge of Tomorrow , and The Mummy

Returning to his mainstream action roots, Cruise anchored the 2012 crime drama Jack Reacher , based on a book by Lee Child. He then headlined a pair of science-fiction adventures: Oblivion (2013) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Showing no signs of slowing down, the veteran actor in 2015 delivered his usual high-energy performance for the fifth installment of his blockbuster Mission: Impossible franchise .

In 2016, Cruise reprised the role of Jack Reacher for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back . He then headlined a reboot of The Mummy (2017), which performed respectably at the box office but was savaged by critics, before earning better reviews later that year for the crime thriller American Made .

Cruise is one of the most prominent celebrity members of the Church of Scientology . He became a student of the religion, founded by writer L. Ron Hubbard, through his first wife, Mimi Rogers. Cruise credited the church with curing his dyslexia, and he soon became one of its leading proponents.

In 2005, Cruise made headlines as an outspoken Scientologist. He openly criticized his former Endless Love co-star Brooke Shields for using anti-depressants during her recovery from postpartum depression. He also denounced psychiatry and modern medicine, claiming Scientology held the key to true healing. Cruise’s statements led to a heated argument with news anchor Matt Lauer on The Today Show in June 2005, for which Cruise later apologized.

Cruise has been married three times, all to fellow actors, and has three children.

He first wed Mimi Rogers in 1987 but their union ended three years later. Cruise wasn’t single for long.

Also in 1990, he connected with Nicole Kidman , his co-star in the racecar drama Days of Thunder . The movie was unpopular among critics and fans alike, but the two lead actors had real chemistry. On Christmas Eve 1990, after a brief courtship, Cruise and Kidman married in Telluride, Colorado.

For much of the 1990s, Cruise and Kidman found themselves fiercely defending the happiness and legitimacy of their marriage. They filed two different lawsuits against tabloid publications for stories they considered libelous. In each case, the couple received a published retraction and apology, along with a large monetary settlement which they donated to charity. During the first half of their marriage, the couple adopted two children, Isabella and Connor.

On February 5, 2001, Cruise and Kidman announced their separation after 11 years of marriage. The couple cited the difficulties involved with two acting careers and the amount of time spent apart while working.

Following the divorce, Cruise briefly dated his Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz followed by a much-publicized relationship with actor Katie Holmes . A month after his ties to Holmes became public, Cruise professed his love for Holmes in a now-famous appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which he jumped on Winfrey’s sofa, shouting “Yes!”

In June 2005, after a two-month courtship, Cruise proposed to Holmes in a restaurant at the top of the Eiffel tower. In October, they announced that they were expecting their first child together. The hasty proposal and surprise pregnancy quickly became tabloid gossip.

In 2006, Cruise and Holmes welcomed their daughter, Suri. That November, they were married in an Italian castle, with celebrities Will Smith , Jada Pinkett Smith , Jennifer Lopez , and Victoria and David Beckham among those in attendance. However, the storybook romance didn’t last, and in June 2012, Holmes filed for divorce.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Review: Finally Delivering The Magical Sports Chaos You've Been Waiting For

The casting of frank stone pc review: underwhelming & lacking magic, astro bot review: a charming platformer with surprises, excitement & nostalgia.

How tall is movie   icon  Tom Cruise ? The star been acting for almost 40 years, arguably earning his big break in cult classic  The Outsiders  in 1983.   Over the following decades, he became one of Hollywood's biggest draws, pioneering iconic roles in franchises such as the big-screen take on the  Mission: Impossible series, as well as working with a whos-who of A-list directors from Stanley Kubrick to Steven Spielberg.

Tom Cruise's first major starring role was in  Risky Business , the same year  The Outsiders  was released. The film is a teen movie classic, showing off Cruise's charisma as a Chicago teen who runs afoul of a local pimp; it's often remembered for the weird location of its sex scene .  Risky Business  earned more than $60 million on a tiny budget of around $6 mil and Cruise's rise to fame was assured.

Related:  Top Gun: The Actor Who Almost Played Tom Cruise's Maverick

Cruise recently had two starring roles as the titular character in  Jack Reacher  and  Jack Reacher: Never Go Back . Reacher in the books is notorious for being a 6"5 ass-kicking giant; Cruise's surprise casting turned heads ahead of the film's release due to his relatively diminutive height of 5 feet, 7 and three-quarter inches. Even the books' original author, Lee Child, has gone on record to state that Cruise is not only too short, but too old to continue playing Reacher . The franchise will be rebooted as a series on Amazon Prime.

From his rapidly-ascending star status in the early 80s, Tom Cruise went from strength to strength, including appearances in Ridley Scott's  Legend , and his brother Tony Scott's  Top Gun . The latter will receive a decades-late sequel in the form of  Top Gun: Maverick . The sequel is set to be even later still following delays due to the Coronavirus outbreak but is now expected in December 2020. Cruise also developed a modern-day cult classic with sci-fi actioner  Edge of Tomorrow in 2014; although the film suffered from too many title changes, it was well-received by critics. Cruise, co-star Emily Blunt, and director Doug Liman all want to return for a sequel, but Liman is unsure it will happen .

Tom Cruise's juggernaut franchise has undoubtedly been the  Mission: Impossible  series, it's most recent entry being 2018's  Mission: Impossible - Fallout (perhaps most remembered for its iconic scene of Henry Cavill reloading his arms ). The franchise has amassed $3.5 billion in box office receipts to date, with  Mission: Impossible 7   and Mission: Impossible 8   already announced for 2021 and 2022, respectively. Frustratingly, the production of  Mission: Impossible 7 has been halted due to Coronavirus concerns; whether this will impact the film's release date is as yet unclear.

How Tall Is Tom Cruise? Exact Height Revealed

Tom Cruise continues to be the quintessential Hollywood movie star everyone just adores. Not only does he have the looks and the talent for it, but he’s also got the spirit to keep wowing audiences worldwide with his physical ability and creative skills. He is truly larger than life. But how tall is Tom Cruise, actually?

Tom Cruise’s height is 5 feet 7 inches or 1.7 m (170 cm). 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tom Cruise (@tomcruise)

While he’s never openly admitted to it, Tom Cruise wears lifts sometimes in order to appear taller. After all, he has played roles that are supposed to be taller than his actual height. He’s also been romantically involved with women who were taller than him.

Tom as Jack Reacher

Tom and the production team received a good deal of criticism when it was revealed that he would be playing the titular character in the 2012 movie. Fans of the Jack Reacher books found it odd for Cruise to be playing the role because of one key thing: height.

Jack Reacher was originally written as a big man, an imposing presence at 6 feet 5 inches. With Tom Cruise standing at under 6 feet, the disparity is hard to ignore. Even author Lee Child was concerned by the height difference and how the fans of the books would receive the Cruise-lead movies. 

What Is Tom Cruise’s Daily Routine?

Where does tom cruise live, where did tom cruise grow up.

Despite the negative reaction, Tom went on to make two Jack Reacher movies: Jack Reacher in 2012 and its sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back in 2016. Both movies were considered successful at the box office. 

Does Tom Cruise date taller women?

With so much material out there about Tom Cruise and his love life over the years, you’d know by now that he was previously married–three times, to be precise. His ex-wives are all actresses, with two out of three taller than him.

Mimi Rogers

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mimi Rogers (@m_rogers12)

Tom was married to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990. They met around 1986-87 and started dating right away, which eventually led to marriage. They had nothing but great things to say about each other while they were together but then the union fizzled out by 1989. Their divorce was finalized in 1990. Mimi Rogers shares the same height as her ex-hubby.

Nicole Kidman

The Tom Cruise-Nicole Kidman marriage was one of the most iconic pairings during the 1990s not only for their A-list celebrity status but for their obvious height difference. Nicole Kidman towers at nearly 5 feet 11 inches , which makes her significantly taller than Tom.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cinema✨ (@theworldofcinemaa)

The former power couple met on the set of Days Of Thunder , in which they played on-screen lovers. The chemistry was palpable from the start, with Nicole sharing in one interview that Tom swept her off her feet and she instantly fell in love.  

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were married for 11 years (1990-2001). They share two adopted children together, Isabella and Connor Cruise .

Katie Holmes

Tom Cruise’s most highly publicized marriage, arguably because of the internet and social media, was with Katie Holmes . They were married for six years, from 2006 to 2012.

They, too have a height difference – Katie’s approximately 5’9”, taller than Tom by a couple of inches – and an age gap as well. Tom Cruise, who was born in 1962 , is 16 years older than Katie Holmes, who was born in 1978. She was 27 when they got married in Italy; he was 44 at the time.

Many controversies swirled around their marriage, one of which related to Tom Cruise’s involvement with The Church of Scientology . It has been widely speculated that this was the main reason for their divorce in 2012. 

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise share one biological child together, Suri. 

Does size really matter?

Does height matter in becoming a well-respected Hollywood star like Tom Cruise? Or is he in a league all on his own? 

While there are no actors in Hollywood that come close to Tom Cruise’s achievements, skills, and star quality, he’s not all alone in being an A-list actor under 6 feet. Men’s Health listed 40 , but we’ll mention just a few so you can get the picture: 

Al Pacino (5’7”)

Robert Downey Jr. (5’8½”)

George Clooney (5’11”)

Joaquin Phoenix (5’8″)

Sylvester Stallone (5’9½”)

Johnny Depp (5′ 10″)
