Tom Cruise has one item on his to-do list that he has never seemed to completely cross off.

The “Top Gun” actor has dabbled in and out of the world of romance for several years but has yet to find stability with a partner. In search of his forever person, the TV star has had three failed marriages, plus a handful of long-term relationships and flings.

Tom Cruise tied the knot with Hollywood A-listers Nicole Kidman, with whom he shares two kids; Katie Holmes, with whom he shares a daughter; and Mimi Rogers, whom he was married to for nearly three years.

Cruise is no newbie in the world of romance; however, he seems to keep finding himself starting from scratch every so often. The actor has been in several high-profile relationships over the last few decades, yet none led to the happy ending he so wished for, even with marriage on the table.

According to insiders close to the iconic actor, he doesn’t feel particularly desirable, especially given how the tabloids have covered details of his past failed romances. “Tom is all too aware that he’s become this poster child for failed relationships, the source explained.

The Blast shared that Cruise has used his relationship and marriage to Holmes as a yardstick, and that all other romantic ordeals since their split have failed to measure up to what he shared with the “Dawson Creek” star.

The insider disclosed that Cruise’s relationship with Holmes was the last time he was truly in love, saying, “He has tried so hard to find love again. He’s romanced so many women, and nothing has clicked the way it did between him and Katie.” 

Inside The ‘Top Gun’ Actor’s First Try At Marriage

Cruise’s first wife was “Full Body Massage” actress Mimi Rogers. The pair reportedly met at a dinner party in 1985 and kicked things off shortly after. At the time, Cruise’s career was still in its early stages, so they could enjoy their romance without big Hollywood drama.

The former lovebirds had a “very small, very private and completely normal” wedding ceremony in May 1987 and announced their breakup by January 1990.

According to previous reports, Rogers introduced her ex-husband to the Church of Scientology. While they did not give an official reason for their split, many speculated that their spiritual beliefs played a role.

The actor praised Rogers for being his best friend, telling media outlets, “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,” shortly before they called it quits.

Five years after their divorce, the “Gung Ho” actress told PEOPLE that Cruise’s fame contributed to the end of their marriage. “You cease to be an individual. No matter what the article is, it’s ‘Tom Cruise’s wife…’” she said at the time.

Nicole Kidman and the film producer first locked eyes in 1990 while auditioning for their roles in the hit film “Days of Thunder.” Years later, Kidman confessed she was gobsmacked when she saw Cruise drive up to the set in a Porsche.

The pair wasted no time hitting it off, even though Cruise was just coming out of a divorce. Months after he was legally separated from Rogers, the actor said ‘I do’ to the “Moulin Rouge!” actress on Christmas Eve of 1990.

Kidman admitted in a Vanity Fair interview that she was so head over heels for Cruise and was “desperate to have a baby with him.” They welcomed two children via adoption: a daughter, Isabella, born in 1992, and a son, Connor, born three years later. Their love, although “passionate,” was short-lived, and they eventually separated in 2001.

After Kidman, Cruise decided to give love another chance with Katie Holmes, with whom he had a nearly 20-year age gap. The former lovers first raised eyebrows in 2005 when they were spotted holding hands in Rome.

Holmes was vocal about her love for him on different “Dawson Creek” interviews, while Cruise went viral for jumping on Oprah Winfrey’s couch while declaring his love for her. “I can’t even articulate it, to be honest. That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me,” he told Winfrey in a separate interview. 

The pair had a stellar first date as Cruise booked a private plane and a motorcycle ride to the beach, where they ate sushi. In June 2005, the “Digger” actor popped the question at the Eiffel Tower with a five-carat diamond ring.

They welcomed their daughter, Suri, in April 2006; she legally dropped her father’s last name this year. They had their wedding ceremony in Bracciano, Italy, on November 18, 2006. Six years later, Holmes filed for divorce and primary custody of Suri.

Cruise’s three marriages were not the only times he gave love a chance. After his divorce from Kidman and before his marriage to Holmes, the TV personality went public with his relationship with his “Vanilla Sky” costar, Penélope Cruz.

They announced they were together in August 2001 but ended things in January 2004. Their split was reportedly “amicable” and rumored to be fueled by conflicting schedules.

After Cruz, the actor struck up a brief romance with Nazanin Boniadi. They dated from November 2004 till January 2005. According to previous reports, Boniadi, who is also a member of the Church of Scientology, was selected by the organization for Cruise. The Church, however, debunked the rumors.

US Weekly confirmed in December 2023 that Cruise was quietly dating Elsina Khayrova for a few months before they were publicly spotted. They reportedly met in England through mutual friends and developed something special.

A few months later, the actor and Russian socialite called it quits, according to a source: “They weren’t gelling and realized they weren’t romantically compatible.” Other celebrities Cruise has been linked to include Cher, his first celebrity girlfriend Melissa Gilbert, Patti Scialfa, and Laura Pepon.

Cruise can’t stay out of the spotlight as he continues to build romantic connections with high-profile entertainers. He was most recently linked to Ana de Armas after they were spotted multiple times last year.

The “Mission: Impossible” actor and de Armas sparked dating rumors in February 2025 after they were spotted enjoying a quiet night out in London. Since then, they have been photographed spending time together, holding hands, and even at special occasions like de Armas’ 37th birthday.

PEOPLE shared that Cruise previously spoke highly of the Oscar-nominated actress in public interviews. He praised her talent and skills in “Ballerina,” while she noted that his support was amazing and unbelievable.

A source confirmed that they were working together and have built a supportive relationship “both personally and professionally.” Last October, an insider confirmed that they had split after dating for nearly a year.
