Rebecca De Mornay reflects on relationship with 'Risky Business' co-star and ex Tom Cruise
Rebecca De Mornay is opening up about her former relationship with Tom Cruise, expressing admiration for the actor and their early days together. In a recent interview with Page Six while promoting her new thriller Saint Clare, the 65-year-old actress spoke warmly about Cruise, whom she dated for nearly three years after meeting on the set of Risky Business in 1982. 'I'm really, really proud of him,' De Mornay said, acknowledging Cruise's extraordinary rise to Hollywood superstardom. The 1983 film, which launched both of their careers, remains a cultural touchstone, and De Mornay credited Cruise's drive and vision even back then. 'He is a brilliant interpreter of the zeitgeist,' she added. 'We started this together and look what he did with it.' De Mornay reflected on their differences, likening Cruise to a 'major chord' and herself to a 'minor chord,' noting that his career path fulfilled what America wanted, while she pursued more unconventional and gritty roles after Risky Business. Her filmography includes Runaway Train, Backdraft, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and a role in Marvel's Jessica Jones. Now, De Mornay appears in Saint Clare, a dark thriller starring Bella Thorne as a serial killer with a fixation on Joan of Arc. De Mornay said she was drawn to the project by its unique perspective. 'It's very rare that I read scripts about a female serial killer who's obsessed with Joan of Arc,' she explained. 'I just wanted to be a support to this project.' Despite the film's violent themes, she admitted she didn't initially associate it with real-life figures like Jeffrey Epstein. 'I never even thought of that… it's freaky that that would come into it,' she said.

Where Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise's Relationship Stands Amid Dating Rumors
THE RUNDOWN Actress Ana de Armas is officially single following a relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. They were first spotted sharing a kiss in November 2024. By May 2025, it was rumored they had split, but the breakup was confirmed by a source speaking to People this week. Amid her distance from Cuesta, rumors have followed de Armas as she preps for an upcoming film with actor Tom Cruise. The pair has been seen spending time together, leading to whispers of a romantic relationship. But the source indicated she and Cruise are simply working on the Doug Liman-directed thriller, Deeper. De Armas was also supposedly receiving advice from Cruise as she trained for her movie Ballerina, set in the John Wick universe. The movie is filled with stunts, which Cruise is famous for doing in his own films. 'Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime,' said the insider. 'Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.' This week, Cruise and de Armas were photographed together again, enjoying some sunshine on a yacht near the island of Menorca, just off the coast of Spain. The source emphasized that their connection is 'not romantic.' In February, a source told People something similar after they were seen having dinner together with their agents, during which they were supposedly 'discussing potential collaborations down the line' and 'appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.' They have since been seen in London, after attending David Beckham's 50th birthday party, and then again in early May taking a walk through the park on de Armas's 37th birthday. In June, the actress told Variety that Cruise's support for Ballerina was 'unbelievable' and 'amazing.' 'It is very special that someone like him is supporting,' she shared. 'It is really special in general to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.'
