Tom Cruise is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood thanks to his stellar A-List movie career.
Not only has the Top Gun star been in the spotlight for his acting skills over the years, but his love life too.
Tom has been married three times – to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012.
But he has also had high profile romances with other famous faces in Hollywood, such as Cher and Penelope Cruz.
Here, we look back on Tom Cruise’s love life and dating history.

Heather Locklear

Heather went on a date with Tom after they met at an audition early on in his acting career, but romance didn’t blossom between them. She told Chelsea Lately in 2013: “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 started doing the splits. You just kind of stand there and don’t know what to do. Do you dance around him?”
Rebecca De Mornay

Rebecca starred alongside Tom in Risky Business. They began dating in 1983 but broke up around two years later.
Cher

The legendary Cher revealed in 2013 that she had a fling with Tom in 1985 – and he was one of her top five lovers ever. She told Andy Cohen: “He wasn’t a Scientologist then. It was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute. He’s a great guy. The person that I knew was a great and lovable guy. He was in the top five [greatest lovers ever].”
