Tom Cruise ready to make peace with ex-wife Nicole Kidman — his surprising plan to reconnect
Kidman, reportedly, was shocked when her then husband filed for divorce in 2001, which was apparently a 'friendly' separation. Nicole once said she felt like a 'trophy wife' in the early days of their marriage. She said she felt like she didn't deserve to be there and was just supposed to look nice and not speak.
They have two adopted kids, Isabella and Connor. Tom Cruise stayed close to both kids, especially because of their shared belief in Scientology. Some people thought Nicole Kidman wasn't close to the kids, but that's not true. Bella has posted about her mom on social media and even defended her in interviews.

Tom Cruise's 3 Marriages to Romance Rumors with Blonde Actress Ana de Armas: All About His Love Life Through the Years
Tom Cruise's dating history has been as high-profile as his career. From marriages to A-list romances, the Mission: Impossible star has had a long list of partners, many of whom were famous actors or celebrities. As one of Hollywood's top stars, Cruise's love life, from Nicole Kidman to recent rumors with Ana de Armas, continues to generate public interest. Early rumored relationships: Melissa Gilbert, Heather Locklear, Cher, and more Before he became a global star, Tom Cruise was linked to several celebrities. In the 1980s, Melissa Gilbert confirmed they dated briefly, saying on Watch What Happens Live, 'We made out, but honestly, there was no sex…I actually bought him his first set of dishes.' Heather Locklear also recalled a brief date with Cruise early in his career. On Chelsea Lately in 2013, she said, 'He started doing the splits. You just kind of stand there and don't know what to do.' Cruise also dated Risky Business co-star Rebecca De Mornay in 1983. Their relationship lasted around two years. In 1985, he had a short romance with Cher, who later called him one of her 'top five lovers' on Watch What Happens Live. Marriage to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman Cruise married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987, but they divorced three years later. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Cruise said, 'She's my best friend.' Their split was followed by Cruise's second and most famous marriage to Nicole Kidman in 1990 after meeting on Days of Thunder. The couple adopted two children, Isabella and Connor, before divorcing in 2001. Cruise told Vanity Fair, 'She knows why, and I know why…sometimes you just have to face the brutal reality.' Penélope Cruz, Nazanin Boniadi, and Katie Holmes After his divorce, Cruise dated Vanilla Sky co-star Penélope Cruz from 2001 to 2004. He then had a brief relationship with Scientologist and General Hospital actress Nazanin Boniadi from 2004 to 2005, which Vanity Fair later claimed was arranged by the Church (which denied the report). Cruise's third marriage was to Dawson's Creek star Katie Holmes in 2006. Known as 'TomKat,' their relationship included Cruise's famous couch-jumping moment on Oprah. They had a daughter, Suri, and divorced in 2012. Recent dating rumors: Laura Prepon, Hayley Atwell, Elsina Khayrova, and Ana de Armas In 2014, Cruise was rumored to be dating Orange Is the New Black star Laura Prepon, who denied it: 'Apparently I'm dating Tom Cruise right now,' she told SheKnows. Hayley Atwell, his Mission: Impossible 7 co-star, was also linked to Cruise in 2021 after they were seen together at Wimbledon. In December 2023, Cruise went public with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova. 'They're very happy,' a source told US Weekly. But by early 2024, they had broken up. 'They just had different ideas of what their relationship was going to be,' an insider explained. Most recently, Cruise sparked romance rumors with Blonde actress Ana de Armas in early 2025. The two were spotted in London, and Cruise reportedly flew her in a helicopter before her birthday. A source said their relationship is 'still new,' adding, 'She doesn't like the public attention…that's one of the things Tom likes about her.'

Amid Dating Rumours, Tom Cruise (63) And Ana De Armas (37) Spotted Holding Hands In US
and Ana de Armas are keeping everyone guessing. The two stars, who've been at the centre of dating rumours for a while now, were recently seen spending a cosy weekend together in Vermont, USA. In pictures making rounds online, they can be spotted walking hand-in-hand, looking relaxed and completely at ease in each other's company. I post these pictures coz it's the most recent appearance of Tom Cruise. If it's a romance or just a PR stunt I don't care, I'm here to support Tom as actor, I leave gossip to the tabloids. No judging, no hate. ????: #TomCruise and #AnaDeArmas in Vermont, USA. — Maverick ✈︎ ???????? (@BigCityKnight) July 29, 2025 Tom Cruise kept it casual in a navy T-shirt, denim and a baseball cap, while Ana paired a white tee with black skinny jeans. TMZ reported that they drove through a nearby National Park, went shopping and ended their outing with a stop for ice cream. Definitely sounds like a date. This Vermont outing came just days after the duo was seen together at an Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium. As per Page Six, the two were spotted laughing, dancing, and even holding hands in the crowd. Fans at the show took note of the chemistry and could not help but wonder if there was more to their connection. The Tom Cruise-Ana de Armas buzz first started back in February when they were seen dining together in London. At the time, a source told People that it was a casual dinner with their agents and was strictly work-related. 'Potential collaborations down the line,' the source said, adding that the two 'appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.' Since then, though, sightings of the duo have only become more frequent – and a lot more affectionate. There has been no official word from either Tom or Ana, but from concerts to countryside strolls, they are definitely not staying under the radar. On the work front, Tom Cruise was last seen in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The Christopher McQuarrie directorial also featured Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg in key roles.
