Tom Cruise’s personal life has always drawn attention, but fans have recently noticed a strange pattern that’s got social media buzzing. The 63-year-old actor has been married three times, and surprisingly, each of his ex-wives was 33 years old when their marriage ended.
Cruise’s first marriage was to actress Mimi Rogers in 1987. They split in 1990, and later that same year, he married Nicole Kidman. That relationship lasted more than a decade before ending in 2001. Then, in 2006, he tied the knot with Katie Holmes. The couple, who share a daughter named Suri, divorced in 2012.
What fans can’t stop talking about is the shared age — 33 — at the time each marriage ended. A post from Uber Facts on X pointed out, “Tom Cruise divorced all three of his wives when they were 33,” sparking hundreds of comments and theories. Some joked about the number being cursed, while others linked it to Cruise’s long-time involvement with Scientology.
The number 33 is considered meaningful in Scientology. Its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, once described it as a symbol of enlightenment and destiny. While this could just be a wild coincidence, the pattern has added a mysterious twist to Cruise’s romantic history.
After her divorce, Nicole Kidman famously joked about her newfound freedom during a 2001 interview with David Letterman. When asked how she felt after splitting from Cruise, she laughed and said, “Now I can wear high heels,” before adding, “Let’s move on. Now is the time to move on.”
Kidman and Cruise adopted two children together, Isabella and Connor, who are now adults. Kidman later married singer Keith Urban, and they share two daughters. As for Katie Holmes, she and Cruise’s daughter Suri is now 19 and lives with her mother in New York.
Whether the “age 33” coincidence means anything or not, fans can’t help but find it eerie — and it’s once again made Tom Cruise’s love life a hot topic online.
