Tom Cruise, the timeless movie and action star, has had a high-profile life and an equally high-profile dating history. Since making his screen debut in the 80s and starring in films such as *The Outsiders*, *Top Gun*, and the *Mission: Impossible* series, the 61-year-old has been a heartthrob for decades.
One of Cruise’s first public romances was with Rebecca De Mornay, his co-star in *Risky Business*. Though previously linked to Heather Locklear and Melissa Gilbert, those relationships were brief compared to his two-year relationship with De Mornay, which lasted from 1983 to around 1985.
Cruise then had a brief fling with superstar Cher, who has said that Cruise was one of her top five favorite lovers. Following this, he married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987 after meeting at a Hollywood dinner party. They divorced in 1990, the same year Cruise married Nicole Kidman.
Cruise and Kidman met while filming *Days of Thunder* and quickly hit it off. They adopted two children, Isabella and Connor, before divorcing in 2001 due to irreconcilable differences. Their split resulted in Kidman’s iconic post-divorce paparazzi shot.
Cruise then dated his *Vanilla Sky* co-star Penelope Cruz, with whom he made his red carpet debut in 2001. Their relationship ended in 2004. After dating *General Hospital* actress Nazanin Boniadi briefly between 2004 and 2005, Cruise married Katie Holmes in 2006.
Cruise and Holmes’ romance was marked by his infamous couch-jumping incident on *Oprah*. They became engaged shortly after making their relationship public and welcomed their daughter Suri in 2006. However, they divorced six years later, with rumors suggesting Holmes wanted to protect Suri from Cruise’s devotion to Scientology. It’s been years since Cruise had any contact with his daughter, according to the Daily Mail.
Following his divorce from Holmes, Cruise was linked to *Orange is the New Black* actress Laura Prepon in 2014, who denied the rumors. Later, he was reportedly dating his *Mission: Impossible* co-star and Marvel actress Hayley Atwell in 2020. They were seen together at Wimbledon in 2021.
As of December 2023, US Weekly confirmed that Cruise is in a relationship with 37-year-old Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova. They met earlier in 2023 at a party in London and have been inseparable since. Khayrova, a model and socialite, lives in London and is well-connected, being the daughter of a prominent member of the Russian Military Police. She divorced Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsvetkov in 2022 and shares two children with him.
Despite their differences, Cruise and Khayrova seem to be going strong. Fans and onlookers can follow Khayrova on social media, where she frequently posts about her outfits, travels, and brand deals.
