Tom Cruise reportedly has a new girlfriend.

The “Top Gun: Maverick” star, 61, has been “growing closer” to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, 36, over the past couple of months and is now officially dating her, the Daily Mail reports.

“It’s well known within Elsina’s circle that she and Tom are now an item,” an insider told the outlet.

“They’ve grown very close over the past few weeks but take a lot of care not to be photographed together because they want to maintain their privacy,” the source continued.

“Tom has been staying the night at Elsina’s apartment, which as you can imagine, is a very beautiful place. They enjoy hanging out together and despite their wealth, do a lot of the things that normal couples do.”

The pair both attended a gala dinner in support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, where Prince William was the guest of honor.

Though Cruise and Khayrova arrived separately, friends told the outlet that it’s not a surprise, as they’ve been spending most of their time behind closed doors at her multimillion-dollar apartment in Knightsbridge, London.

However, the pair have stepped out incognito for strolls through Hyde Park, sources claimed.

The two have also reportedly dined privately at several exclusive London restaurants.

Page Six has contacted Cruise’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

They were first  romantically linked  after reportedly canoodling at a party in London’s ritzy Mayfair neighborhood in December.

“They were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her,” an eyewitness told the Daily Mail at the time.

The “Jack Reacher” actor has previously said “I do” three times.

He was married to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012.

Khayrova, for her part, split from ex-husband Dmitry Tsetkov in 2022.

The Russian oligarch, 43, spoke to the tabloid in December about their bitter three-year divorce battle, which he claims cost him more than $150 million.

“Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open,” he said.

He added, “I’m happy for her, I wish her all the best.”

All of Tom Cruise’s wives and girlfriends in order, chronologically

There’s nobody like Tom Cruise . He’s charismatic, he’s eccentric, he’s controversial, and he’s everybody’s beloved. He has made some of the most quotable films of all time yet has dedicated the last decade of his career to performing some of the most dangerous stunts ever. His unpredictability is arguably his greatest weapon, and we struggle to find a more perfect word to describe his love life.

Cruise has been world-famous since the 1980s, and in that time, he’s been linked to several different women. The interesting thing to note here, especially given Cruise’s desire for privacy, is that nearly all the women he’s dated are celebrities. Apparently, the Mission: Impossible actor likes to fraternize with other actors. Cruise’s latest girlfriend is literally his Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One co-star! However, before we jump ahead too quickly, let’s step back and begin at the very start.

Melissa Gilbert

Cruise’s relationship with Melissa Gilbert predates the name Cruise! Gilbert appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live in 2014, and she revealed that the actor was still going by his birth name when they first met. “I was maybe 16 or 17,” she recalled. “Actually, when I dated him, he was still Tom Mapother.”

Both Cruise and Gilbert were actors in 1981, but their situations could not have been more different. The former had just made his film debut in Endless Love (1981), and the latter was one of the cast members on the hit show Little House on the Prairie (1974-83). “He was like a struggling, starving actor, and I was working,” Gilbert added. “I actually bought him his first set of dishes.” They broke up within a few months.

Patti Scialfa

There are claims that Cruise romanced Heather Locklear and Rebecca de Mornay during the early 80s, but neither relationship has been confirmed by the people involved, so we felt like they shouldn’t warrant their own entry. However, what has been confirmed is the brief romance between Cruise and Patti Scialfa in 1985.

In a 1988 profile on Scialfa, People Magazine revealed that she dated Cruise before moving on to her future husband (and fellow E Street Band member) Bruce Springsteen. “Patti was hardly a nun before she met Bruce,” a source told People. “She doesn’t go out with accountants.” Scialfa and Springsteen have been married since 1991.

Tom Cruise and Cher dating already seems like the epitome of 80s pop culture, but it gets even better when you consider where they met: the 1985 wedding of Sean Penn and Madonna. These circumstances are so bizarre and hilarious that they sound made up. We digress. Cruise and Cher dated for a year, and while things didn’t last between them, there didn’t appear to be any hard feelings. Cher even listed Cruise as one of her top five lovers on a 2013 Watch What Happens Live episode.

Cher also marked the last time Cruise dated someone more famous than he was. Cher was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet and had just earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Mask (1985). Cruise released Top Gun the following year, and things were never the same.

Mimi Rogers

Cruise married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987. They were together for three years, and BBC News theorized that Rogers was actually the person who introduced Cruise to the Church of Scientology. Either way, their romance was not built to last. Rogers cited intimacy issues, and then there were discrepancies in their respective careers.

Rogers’ career ran parallel with Cruise’s. She also made her film debut in 1981 and earned critical praise for her performances in Gung Ho (1986), Someone to Watch Over Me , and Street Smart (both 1987), but Cruise’s megastardom led to her being overlooked in the media. “No matter what the article is, it’s ‘Tom Cruise‘s wife’,” Rogers told People . She received a $4 million settlement from the divorce.

Nicole Kidman

Cruise quickly rebounded from the Rogers marriage and started dating Nicole Kidman. The two had met during the making of Days of Thunder (1990) and were already two years into their marriage by the time they made Far and Away (1992). Cruise and Kidman were one of the premiere celebrity couples of the decade, and their third collaboration, Eyes Wide Shut (1999), drew attention for its scandalous depiction of a marriage on the rocks.

Eventually, the issues bled into real life. Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001 and released a joint statement citing “difficulties inherent in divergent careers.” They remain co-parents to their adopted children, Isabella Jane and Connor Antony.

Penelope Cruz

Cruise likes to rebound quickly, and he did it again while making Vanilla Sky (2001). He started dating co-star Penelope Cruz, who played his love interest in the film, and despite their shared fame, they maintained a relatively low profile. They dated until 2004 when their amicable split was chalked up to scheduling conflicts and a general acceptance that things had run their course.

At the time, Lee Anne DeVette, Cruise’s sister and publicist, told People : “They broke up at the end of January, and it’s amicable.” Cruz’s publicist, Robert Garlock, went as far as to state that the actors stayed in touch after splitting. “They remain good friends and still talk often,” he assured fans. “There is no other person involved.”

Katie Holmes

We wonder if you need a refresher on this one. Cruise went on The Oprah Winfrey Show to jump on the host’s couch and declare his love for Katie Holmes in one of the most cringe-inducing interviews ever. That being said, the couch jumping worked, and Cruise and Holmes were wed in 2005. They had a daughter named Suri the following year and remained steady tabloid fodder until their divorce in 2012.

Holmes told In Style that the attention of being married to Cruise was often overwhelming. “That time was intense,” she admitted. “It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public.”

Hayley Atwell

Cruise’s love life has slowed down, but things picked up with Hayley Atwell during the making of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One . The Sun reports that Cruise and Atwell started dating in 2020, when Dead Reckoning Part One was going into production, and remained a couple until their split in May 2022.

While a reason for their official split was not given, Cruise and Atwell appear to be friendly with one another during the press junkets. Atwell even attended the premiere of Cruise’s film Top Gun: Maverick (2022) to show her support. Both are currently single.

The crazy story of how Scientology allegedly once groomed a girlfriend for Tom Cruise — and then tore them apart

In HBO's explosive new Scientology documentary "Going Clear," one of the most interesting and least discussed allegations is that Scientology once hand-picked and groomed a young church member to become Tom Cruise's girlfriend.

As former Scientologists explain in the documentary, the church does whatever it can to keep Cruise happy because "In the eyes of [Scientology leader] David Miscavige, Tom Cruise is the perfect Scientology celebrity," according to ex-Scientology executive Mike Rinder .

The church reportedly kept Cruise happy by  d oing him favors like  tricking  out all of his cars and motorcycles.

And decking out his airplane hanger in Santa Monica, California.

So when Cruise was looking for a new girlfriend after his breakup with Nicole Kidman, the church jumped to help, the documentary said.

"Tom was in Spain. They were opening a new Scientology church in Madrid, and he was overheard complaining that he needed a new girlfriend," said  Lawrence Wright, author of the  best-selling book  "Going Clear," on which the documentary is based. 

"Soon after that," Wright said, "a young Scientologist pre-med student named Nazanin Boniadi was told she was going to get a special assignment."

At this point in the documentary, director Alex Gibney chimed in via narration to explain: "Years later, Nazanin became a successful TV actress  ..."

"... and would have a small part in a Paul Haggis [ director and former Scientologist ] film."

"But at the time, she was a dedicated young Scientologist ..."

"... who believed in the church's claims for its humanitarianism mission."

"In fact, she set a monthly record for selling books for the church."

"Nazanin may not speak publicly about her experiences because of an NDA the church pressured her to sign," Gibney said, "b ut I discovered details from FBI testimony regarding her ordeal."

"David Miscavige assigned Nazanin's case to a key church official, Greg Wilhere," Gibney said. " He put her through a one-month program of on-camera interviews, intensive auditing, and some security checks."

"She was moved into the Celebrity Center, separated from her family, and certain problems were addressed during this period of time," adds author Lawrence Wright. "One was that she had a boyfriend."

"She is handed a transcript of his auditing session in which he admitted that he had an affair," Wright said, "so she broke up with him."

Now that Boniadi was single, it was time for her makeover.  

"Wilhere took her to an orthodontist to have her braces removed," Gibney said.

"At Burberry and other stores in Beverly Hills, he bought her $20,000 worth of clothes."

"At the Celebrity Center, a man who worked for Cruise's hairstylist colored Nazanin's hair to Cruise's liking."

"Nazanin was told that her makeover was part of the church's humanitarian mission, because she had to look her best for conferences with world leaders."

"Only after she was flown first class to New York, did she discover the actual role that the church wanted her to play —  she was to be the girlfriend of Scientology's biggest star."

"Within a month, Nazanin was living with Cruise. While at his house in Telluride, Miscavige came to visit."

"Overcome by a severe headache, Nazanin had a hard time understanding Miscavige, which infuriated him.  The next day, Cruise — inches from her face — pounded on the table and screamed at her for insulting the head  of the church."

"Two weeks later, church henchman Tommy Davis delivered the news to Nazain that her relationship with Cruise was over."

Director and outspoken former Scientologist Paul Haggis explained what allegedly happened next:  "According to her [Bodiani], they [the church] came to her apartment with her mum and found every photograph of the two of them together [Bodiani and Cruise] and took them away and every scrap, every letter, everything, they tossed as if it never existed."

"And she was really upset because she was really hurt by the whole thing. And she made the mistake of telling her friend, who immediately went to tell someone in the church. She agreed to do punishment, like cleaning out the public bathroom on her hands and knees with a toothbrush, while other people she knew were stepping over her.

She did nothing wrong, other than tell her friend she was heartbroken, and this is the way she was treated?"

After the incident, Bodiani pursued an acting career and has since appeared in "Homeland," "Scandal, "How I Met Your Mother," "Iron Man," among many other titles .

Neither she nor Cruise have ever publicly discussed their alleged relationship.

Despite Bodiani's story, "The church claims [leader] Miscavige has no involvement in Cruise's personal life and that the search for Cruise's girlfriend never existed," Gibney states in the film.

But Cruise and Miscavige's relationship is deep, going back decades.

"Tom Cruise was the guy," former Scientology exec  Mike Rinder said. " Miscavige and Cruise have been pretty buddy-buddy way back to 1990s ' Days of Thunder .' In the eyes of Miscavige, Tom Cruise is the perfect Scientology celebrity."

And it seems like Cruise also enjoys Miscavige's friendship.

In one clip during "Going Clear," Cruise enthusiastically congratulates the Scientology leader during a church conference by proclaiming,  "We are lucky to have you. Thank you."

Nazanin Boniadi's rep declined to comment on the story, and Cruise's rep hasn't responded to our request for comment.

Tom Cruise’s Girlfriend History: From Nicole Kidman to Katie Holmes to Today

Tom Cruise has had a high-profile love life ever since launching his acting career in the '80s. Here's a complete breakdown of the 'Mission: Impossible' star's romantic history.

• Tom Cruise is an actor, famous for films like Top Gun , Jerry Maguire , and Mission: Impossible .
• He’s been married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise ‘s love life has been closely followed for decades, ever since making his breakthrough in the 1983 classic  Risky Business . His romantic history consists of three famous marriages (all of which ended, coincidentally, when his wives were 33 years old) and a string of other high-profile romances. But between 2012-2020, Tom seemingly pumped the brakes on public romances.

However, there was renewed interest in the love life of one of Hollywood’s most famous bachelors after a new report surfaced in December 2020. It claimed that Tom was dating his co-star   Hayley Atwell  from Mission: Impossible 7 . In June 2022, another report came out that the pair broke up . In 2023, Tom reportedly moved on with model Elsina Khayrova . We have more information on that below — including Tom’s many other romances since the ’80s.

Melissa Gilbert

Melissa Gilbert , 59, who played Laura Ingalls on the NBC series Little House on the Prairie , claimed that she dated Tom in the early 1980’s. This was at the very beginning of his career! “Actually, when I dated him he was Tom Mapother still. It was when he first moved to Los Angeles and I think I was 16, maybe, or 17?,” Melissa said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen   in 2017.

“I did not have sex with him,” Laura added. “We made out, but, honestly, there was no sex. He was a good kisser. But, you know, he was, like, a struggling, starving actor. I actually bought him his first set of dishes.” Melissa even reminisced on her friendship/past relationship with her fellow “Brat Pack” pal, Tom, in a throwback Instagram post shared in Oct. 2019.

Heather Locklear

Heather Locklear , 61, was never Tom’s girlfriend, but she did go on one (sort of) date with him. It didn’t go well, according to her recollection. The Melrose Place  star explained in a 2013 interview on Chelsea Lately  that they had both “auditioned for something” together, back when Tom “didn’t have friends” in Hollywood in the early ’80s. So, they went dancing.

“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 starting doing the splits,” Heather said. “You just kind of stand there and don’t know what to do. Do you dance around him? So, I was like, ‘I’ll just sit down and you can.'”

“And that was the only date you had?,” Chelsea Handler then asked Heather, to which the actress said, “I think so.” Tom and Heather are pictured above together in 1981.

Rebecca De Mornay

Rebecca de Mornay and Tom played lovers in Tom’s breakthrough film, Risky Business , which came out in 1983. Their on-screen chemistry turned out to be real! Although Rebecca joked that Tom was “extremely annoying” at first, she admitted, “He came to grow on me because we wound up together for two and a half years after that film” in a 2018 interview with Celebrity Page .

Tom Cruise famously made Cher ‘s “Top 5” lovers list, which she revealed on  Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen  in 2013. “I had just the greatest lovers ever. Not a long list. It’s just a good list,” the 77-year-old singer had said.

Cher explained how she and Tom connected in a separate interview. “A bunch of people who were dyslexic were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic. We didn’t go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there,” Cher told the  Mail on Sunday   in 2018. She added, “Though I don’t get what he does, that whole Scientology thing. I can’t understand it so I just… don’t.”

Mimi Rogers

It was during this relationship that Tom infamously joined the Church of Scientology, which he is a prominent figure in to this day. When Tom met actress Mimi Rogers , 67, she had been a few years divorced from Scientologist Jim Rogers . “I met her at a dinner party about a year ago, when I was developing Top Gun. She was dating a friend, and, uh, I thought she was extremely bright,” Tom recalled in a 1986 interview with Rolling Stone .

However, Mimi had a conflicting story. “I wasn’t seeing anybody, he wasn’t seeing anybody, and they thought, ‘These people should be going out with somebody — let’s see if they want to go out with each other.’ And we said, ‘Aw, what the heck. OK’,” Mimi told the Sun Sentinel  in 1987.

Tom sounded smitten in another Rolling Stone interview, which was published mere days before his split from Mimi was announced in 1990. “I’d never been in love before. Since I’ve been with her, it’s opened me up a lot. I think it’s helped me be a better actor. We live a lot of life together. We share everything,” he gushed, later adding, “I care about my wife more than anything in the world. She’s my best friend. I just really like being with her, you know? I love her.” The divorce was finalized in February 1990, three years after they got married.

Nicole Kidman

Tom Cruise moved on to his next marriage, which was with Moulin Rouge!  star Nicole Kidman , 55. They met on the set of their movie Days of Thunder , in which they played lovers, in 1990. By the end of the year, they were husband and wife. Tom and Nicole adopted two children amid their 11-year marriage : Isabella in 1992, and Connor in 1994.

During the marriage, Tom and Nicole also filmed another movie together, Eyes Wide Shut , in 1999. Nicole even looked back at their time filming together in a rare interview in Oct. 2020, telling the  New York Times , “We were happily married through that. We would go go-kart racing after those scenes. We’d rent out a place and go racing at three in the morning. I don’t know what else to say. Maybe I don’t have the ability to look back and dissect it. Or I’m not willing to.”

Nicole famously never joined Tom’s Church of Scientology, which even their children went on to be active members in. Tom and Nicole’s split was announced in Feb. 2001, and Tom filed for divorce two days later. To this day, the exes have minimal interactions with one another. “Tom has had little to no contact with Nicole in the 18 years since being married and that is fine by him,” a source close to Tom EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife . “He really does not miss her much at all.”

Penélope Cruz

Tom took a break from the married life and started dating Penélope Cruz , 49, whom he met on the set of the movie Vanilla Sky  in 2000. They enjoyed a three-year relationship, which the former couple’s reps confirmed ended in 2004. “They remain good friends and still talk often. There is no other person involved,” Penelope’s spokesperson told PEOPLE at the time.

Katie Holmes

Enter Katie Holmes , who to date remains one of Tom’s most famous exes. Ironically, Katie , 44, she once told Seventeen Magazine   in 2004 that she “used to think that [she] was going to marry Tom Cruise,” which didn’t turn out to just be wishful thinking. The two came together the very next year.

Katie and Tom’s first public appearance as lovers happened in April of 2005. Tom was with the Dawson’s Creek star in Rome, where he was visiting to collect his David di Donatello Award for lifetime achievement. The very next month, Tom was jumping on Oprah Winfrey ‘s couch and proclaiming that he’s “in love” (to which Oprah said, “The boy is gone”).

The relationship quickly advanced. When Katie stepped onto the  Batman Begins  premiere in June of 2005, the actress revealed that she’s converting to Scientology (Tom’s religion) and her engagement to Tom was announced that very same month. By October, the couple was expecting, and in April of 2006 they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Suri .

Katie and Tom tied the knot in Italy in Nov. 2006, and all seemed happy until June of 2012, when Katie filed for divorce. A settlement for custody of Suri was decided on a month later. A year afterwards, Tom admitted that he “didn’t expect” that divorce in an interview with German television network ProSieben.

Katie reflected on the time after the divorce in an April 2020 interview with   InStyle . “That time was intense. It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn’t know became my friends and helped us out, and that’s what I love about the city,” she said.

Hayley Atwell

Tom reportedly started dating Hayley Atwell  — whom you may have seen playing Peggy Carter in the Captain America  movies — in 2020, according to a report from The Sun that surfaced in Dec. of that year. Hayley and Tom filmed Mission 7: Impossible  together amid the pandemic.

“Tom and Hayley hit it off from day one,” a source told The Sun , who added, “Lockdown, and all the difficulties that came with it, brought them even closer and they’ve become fairly inseparable.” Tom and Hayley did not confirm this report, but he hasn’t confirmed any romances since his marriage to Katie, and on June 12, 2022, it was reported he and Hayley had split . It was the second reported split since back in Sept. 2021, they reportedly also called it quits but reconciled a short time later.

“Tom and Hayley’s relationship was genuine,” a source told The Sun . “In spite of some rumours to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras. Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out for them. They get on really well, and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year.”

Elsina Khayrova

In mid-2023, multiple outlets reported that Tom had quietly started dating the model and socialite.

“They’re very happy,” a source told Us Weekly in December 2023. “And Tom’s extremely confident about it working out for the long term. Tom is going into 2024 totally energized, excited and feeling healthier and happier than he has in years. This is a very special time for him, and having a serious relationship in his life that he can build on is the icing on the cake.”

All the women Tom Cruise has loved and lost over the years

In the years since he split from third wife Katie Holmes , Tom Cruise has done his best to keep his love life out of the spotlight. But sometimes, he can't avoid headlines. Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at all the women the iconic action star — whose newest movie, "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One," opens in theaters on July 12, 2023 — has loved and lost over the years… 

In 2016, Tom's first girlfriend, a woman named Diane Cox, opened up to DailyMail.com about her two-year romance with the A-list actor. The duo met at their high school prom in 1979 when he was 18 and she was 17 — and a grade below him. They ended up ditching their dates for each other and dating for more than two years. The high school sweethearts ultimately split when Diane cheated while they were struggling to make a long-distance relationship work after Tom left his native New Jersey for Hollywood. "We didn't talk about marriage but he told me I was the love of his life, the only person he wanted," Diane said years later.

Tom Cruise 's first famous girlfriend? That would be "Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert! They briefly dated in the early '80s. "It was when he first moved to Los Angeles and I think I was 16, maybe, or 17. … He was a struggling starving actor and I was working. I actually bought him his first set of dishes," she said during a 2014 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," adding that Tom was a good kisser but that things between them never went much further than that.

Actor Curtis Armstrong — who had a small role in "Risky Business" — claimed in his 2017 memoir that Tom Cruise had an "intense affair" with the film's leading lady, Rebecca De Mornay, when they shot the 1983 comedy. At the time, she was involved with a different actor: the late Harry Dean Stanton, who was 36 years Tom's senior. Tom and Rebecca were seen together several times in 1985, though it's unclear how long their "intense affair" actually lasted.

One and done! During a 2013 appearance on Chelsea Handler's " Chelsea Lately " show, Heather Locklear said she only went out with Tom Cruise once — even though they were photographed together multiple times in the early '80s. They went to a nightclub together after meeting at an audition, she said, but her interest in him cooled when he started dancing: "You know in 'Risky Business' where he does that dance in his underwear and does the split? We were dancing in a club and he went into that," she recalled. "You just kind of stand there and don't know what to do. Do you dance around him? It was weird. So I just sat down." And that was that.

Tom Cruise and Cher first met at Madonna and Sean Penn's 1985 nuptials. They reconnected at the White House a few months later during an event focused on people with dyslexia. "We didn't go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there," the singer recalled in 2018. Five years earlier, she gushed that Tom, who's 16 years her junior, was "in the top five" of her all-time greatest lovers. "It was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute," she said. During a 2011 interview with "Entertainment Tonight," the superstar singer said that she loved Tom but that their careers ultimately pulled them apart: "[We broke up] after 'Risky Business' and right before 'The Color of Money.' I couldn't go to Chicago [where he was working] and that was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back," she revealed.

Tom Cruise briefly romanced musician Patti Scialfa in 1985 — a few years before her relationship with Bruce Springsteen turned romantic following his divorce from his first wife, Julianne Phillips. (Patti and Bruce tied the knot in 1991.)

In the mid-'80s, Tom Cruise met actress Mimi Rogers, who's seven years his senior, through mutual friends at a dinner party. They tied the knot in 1987 when she was 31 and he was just 24. (Emilio Estevez served as Tom's best man during the super-secret nuptials.) The actor once told Rolling Stone of his first missus, "I care about my wife more than anything in the world. She's my best friend. I just really like being with her, you know? I love her." But it wasn't meant to be: Tom reportedly filed to divorce Mimi in late 1989. "While there have been positive aspects to our marriage, there were some issues which could not be resolved even after working on them for a period of time," they said in a joint statement in early 1990. (It's widely believed, by the way, that Mimi introduced Tom to Scientology.)

In the wake of his split from Mimi Rogers, Tom Cruise fell hard for Nicole Kidman . They first connected on the 1989 set of the racing drama "Days of Thunder" and tied the knot on Christmas Eve in 1990 following a whirlwind courtship of about a year. A few years later, Tom told Vanity Fair that he felt "instant lust" for the Australian actress. "I thought she was amazingly sexy and stunning. It grew into love and respect," he said.

Newlyweds Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman shared the screen for the second time in Ron Howard's 1992 Western drama "Far and Away," which performed well at the box office in spite of poor reviews from critics.

In 1993, Tom Cruise and second wife Nicole Kidman adopted daughter Isabella Jane, who was 2 months old at the time. Two years later, they became a family of four when the "Days of Thunder" co-stars adopted a 2-week-old baby boy: their son Connor.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman shared the screen for the third and final time in 1999's "Eyes Wide Shut." More than two decades later, the Australian actress would tell The New York Times that she and Tom were still "happily married" while shooting the Stanley Kubrick-directed erotic thriller. Still, less than two years later, their marriage of a decade came to an end: Tom filed for divorce in February 2001. "Maybe I don't have the ability to look back and dissect it. Or I'm not willing to," Nicole told the Times in late 2020 of what went wrong.

Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruise grew close while shooting the 2001 psychological thriller "Vanilla Sky." Their relationship of about three years came to an end in early 2004. Nearly a decade later, Vanity Fair reported that the couple parted ways when the Spanish actress refused to convert to Scientology.

In 2004 and 2005, Tom Cruise briefly dated Nazanin Boniadi, who later had stints on "General Hospital," "How I Met Your Mother," "Scandal" and "Homeland." According to persistent rumors, the Church of Scientology set up Tom and the Iranian British actress after "auditioning" several young beauties for the part of his real-life love interest. Former Scientologist Leah Remini, who's been extremely critical of the church over the years, claimed in her 2015 memoir that Nazanin "underwent a confidential mission for the church where she thought she was being prepared for a special humanitarian project but ended up with the role of Tom's girlfriend." The "King of Queens" alum also alleged that the church pushed Nazanin to break up with her then-boyfriend for Tom and gave her an expensive makeover to prepare her for her romance with the A-lister. Ultimately, the relationship lasted just three months. (But Tom and the Church of Scientology have denied the allegations about how his relationship with Naz came to be.)

In 2005, Tom Cruise briefly pursued a pre-fame Sofia Vergara . But things between them never took off reportedly because of their differences regarding religion.

Tom Cruise first connected with Katie Holmes — who'd spoken openly in interviews about her childhood crush on him — in April 2005 when, according to the rumor mill, they met to discuss a potential role for her in 2006's "Mission: Impossible III." Just weeks later, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at an event in Rome. The following month, Tom made headlines for jumping on a sofa while gushing over Katie during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her eponymous talk show. Things only moved faster from there…

In June 2005 — just two months after they met — Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Then in April 2006 — less than a year after they first connected — the "Dawson's Creek" alum gave birth to their daughter, Suri Cruise.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tied the knot at the Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy, on Nov. 18, 2006. Less than six years later on June 29, 2012, she quietly filed for divorce amid whispers that their differences over Scientology were to blame.

In the summer of 2012, several dubious tabloid reports attempted to link Tom Cruise to fellow devout Scientologist Yolanda Pecoraro, who reportedly met the A-list actor for the first time in 2004. According to the rumor mill, he was interested in her at the time, though nothing ever came of the attraction. Nothing ever came of the talk in 2012 either! Despite the rumors that the Church of Scientology wanted to set up Tom with Yolanda in the wake of his split from Katie Holmes , they were never seen together in public. She ultimately married a different famous Scientologist: "Malcolm in the Middle" actor Chris Masterson. (They're pictured together in 2015.)

In late 2012, Tom Cruise got tongues wagging when he was seen spending time with Jennifer Akerman — the younger sister of his "Rock of Ages" co-star Malin Akerman — at a nightclub in Stockholm following the Swedish premiere of "Jack Reacher." But the actor's rep called the romance rumors "completely ridiculous" and insisted to E! News that the blonde beauty had a serious boyfriend at the time. Just a few weeks later, Tom shut down another set of false romance rumors when he was linked to Cynthia Jorge — then-manager of New York City's Beauty & Essex — after they were seen dancing together at a different NYC hotspot. A source told People magazine "it was nothing but a casual night out" while a New York Post source insisted the pair were "just friends."

The rumor mill worked overtime to connect Tom Cruise to former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko after they co-starred in the 2013 sci-fi love story "Oblivion" … even though she was dating Danny Huston at the time. There's no evidence they were ever anything other than colleagues.

Tom Cruise sparked romance rumors with fellow Scientologist Laura Prepon when they were seen dining together in Los Angeles in late 2013. Then in April 2014, Page Six reported that the duo had been "secretly dating" for months. But reps for both the action star and the "That '70s Show" alum insisted the rumors were "not true" and that the pair were just friends. (Laura eventually married a different actor: Ben Foster. She's since walked away from the church.)

In May 2017, the rumor mill erupted with buzz that Tom Cruise was dating "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" co-star Vanessa Kirby after they were photographed sharing an on-set smooch . (Previous tabloid reports alleged he'd fallen for her … and that he thought she was " perfect to be his next wife .") The following year, Vanessa called the rumors " disconcerting " — especially because she was in the midst of a long-term relationship with actor Callum Turner at the time.

In late 2020, The Sun reported that Tom Cruise and "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" co-star Hayley Atwell were secretly dating after growing close on set. The following day, a People magazine source threw cold water on the British tabloid's report, insisting that the romance rumors were "not true at all." Yet the rumors persisted, although there was a spattering of reports in the summer of 2021 claiming the action star and the British beauty had gone their separate ways.

The co-stars were all smiles while attending Wimbledon together in 2021. Though fresh reports claimed they rekindled their romance in early 2022, The Sun published a story in June 2022 citing sources who said it was over again. "They get on really well, and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year. But what was working behind closed doors didn't work out so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again," a source told the British tabloid. "They have now decided they are better as friends."

In July 2023, Hayley shot down the reports herself, telling the Independent the "weird [romance] rumors" felt "dirty" and "grubby" and that she views Tom and "M:I" franchise director Chris McQuarrie as "sort of two uncles," not love interests.

In May 2023, Tom Cruise once again got the rumor mill churning… this time with speculation that he'd fallen for a global pop star after he was seen chatting with Shakira at the 2023 Miami Formula One Grand Prix in Florida that month. Though they certainly looked comfortable together, TMZ reported that Shakira and Tom were not romantically involved and were at the F1 race because they'd both been invited by a mutual friend, driver Lewis Hamilton.

It seems Tom Cruise is getting serious in his relationship with Elsina Khayrova . The Hollywood star and the Russian socialite continue their romance, and despite staying away from the spotlight, the pair have made headlines, including the latest update.

What Prince William hilariously asked Tom Cruise not to do

A close source to the couple revealed to Page Six that the actor has now met Elsina’s kids, taking their relationship to a new level. The 36-year-old socialite “has a son and a daughter from her previous marriage to Russian oligarch and diamond dealer, Dimitry Tsvetkov ,” as reported by the publication.

• &description=HOLA! USA: celebrity news, royals, entertainment and lifestyle" rel="nofollow" data-share="pinterest" title="Share on Pinterest" target="_blank" class="news__social__link">

The former couple split in 2021 and had a controversial divorce, with details about the settlement going public and reported by international publications, as the pair had to dispute a large sum of money and multiple properties, “including a mansion in Surrey, England, five London apartments, a Bentley and a Ferrari, Cartier jewelry and artwork by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Marc Chagall.”

The socialite and the diamond dealer were married for 11 years and according to Dimitry, the divorce cost him $188 million. Meanwhile, the ‘Mission Impossible’ actor has three children, Isabella and Connor, from his marriage with Nicole Kidman, and his daughter Suri, from his marriage with Katie Holmes.

It was previously reported that the actor met the socialite while living in London. Tom moved from Los Angeles and is known for hosting lavish tea parties at his Hyde Park penthouse in London, with a different source revealing to the publication that they met when a friend of the actor brought the socialite to one of the parties.

“They’ve grown very close over the past few weeks but take a lot of care not to be photographed together because they want to maintain their privacy,” the Daily Mail reported back in December after the pair were spotted dancing in Grosvenor Square.

Tom Cruise reportedly has a new girlfriend.

The Top Gun: Maverick star, 61, has been “growing closer” to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, 36, over the past couple of months and is now officially dating her, the Daily Mail reports.

“It’s well known within Elsina’s circle that she and Tom are now an item,” an insider told the outlet.

“They’ve grown very close over the past few weeks but take a lot of care not to be photographed together because they want to maintain their privacy,” the source continued.

“Tom has been staying the night at Elsina’s apartment, which as you can imagine, is a very beautiful place. They enjoy hanging out together and despite their wealth, do a lot of the things that normal couples do.”

The pair both attended a gala dinner in support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, where Prince William was the guest of honour.

Though Cruise and Khayrova arrived separately, friends told the outlet that it’s not a surprise, as they’ve been spending most of their time behind closed doors at her multimillion-dollar apartment in Knightsbridge, London.

However, the pair have stepped out incognito for strolls through Hyde Park, sources claimed.

The two have also reportedly dined privately at several exclusive London restaurants.

Page Six contacted Cruise’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

They were first romantically linked after reportedly canoodling at a party in London’s ritzy Mayfair neighbourhood in December.

“They were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her,” an eyewitness told the Daily Mail at the time.

The Jack Reacher actor has previously said “I do” three times.

He was married to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012.

Khayrova, for her part, split from ex-husband Dmitry Tsetkov in 2022.

The Russian oligarch, 43, spoke to the tabloid in December about their bitter three-year divorce battle, which he claims cost him more than $150 million.

More Coverage

“Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open,” he said.

He added, “I’m happy for her, I wish her all the best.”

Tom Cruise and his Russian socialite girlfriend, Elsina Khayrova , have been getting closer and "making things official" after enjoying several dates in London.

The 61-year-old Top Gun actor and his new 36-year-old girlfriend both stepped out in public last week when they attended a gala dinner last week in support of London's Air Ambulance Charity - albeit arriving singularly. They were seen at the five-star Raffles Hotel.

Despite the couple arriving separately at the event, they have been spending some quality time together at their £ 10 million apartment in Knightsbridge, London, with a source revealing that the couple is "now an item", with that fact known within the socialite's circle.

Speaking to MailOnline , the source went on to add that both Tom and Elsina have "grown very close over the past few weeks", with them being careful not to be photographed with one another in public, claiming they "want to maintain their privacy".

According to the source, Tom and his new girlfriend have been dining out together and taking strolls through Hyde Park - while dressed in disguise.

Tom and Elsina made their public debut back in December 2023, with a source at the time telling Us Weekly that they had been dating for "a while now". Speaking to the outlet, the source went on to add that they were "very happy" and their bond quickly went from a basic friendship into something "more special".

Tom has been married three times before, with him having been wed to Mimi Rogers from 1987 until 1990; Nicole Kidman from 1990 until 2001; and Katie Holmes from 2006 until 2012.

Meanwhile, Elsina is reported to have filed for divorce from Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsvetkov in 2022.

Tom Cruise and Girlfriend Elsina Khayrova Have Split After Nearly 3 Months of Dating: Report

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Tom Cruise and his girlfriend, Elsina Khayrova , have called it quits on their relationship. The couple broke up just a few months after they were first spotted out together in December 2023.

“They weren’t gelling and realized they weren’t romantically compatible,” a source told Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 27, of their split.

The Russian socialite was reportedly the one who ended their relationship, however, they're still on good terms.

“There’s no bad blood between them,” the source told the outlet. “They just had different ideas of what their relationship was going to be.”

Tom, 61, has been married three times. The Mission Impossible star was married to his first wife, Mimi Rogers , from 1987 to 1990. From 1990 to 2001, Tom was married to Nicole Kidman . He and his third wife, Katie Holmes , were married from 2006 to 2012. Despite his marriages not working out, he didn't close his heart off to finding love again.

Elsina, 36, was previously married to Dmitry Tsvetkov . It seemed like the Top Gun actor was head over heels for the former model.

“He fell for her hard and the romance was going along smoothly,” a source told In Touch earlier this month. “They knew everything about each other. She knew all about his past, and he was fascinated with learning everything he could about her.”

While Tom remained rather private about the relationship in the public eye, he wasted no time getting serious with Elsina.

“Tom was in love with Elsina, and when he’s in love he moves fast,” the insider added. “Then he did what he always does when he finds a woman he loves, he asked her to marry him.”

In the end, she ultimately wasn't ready to walk down the aisle with the actor just yet.

“She sat Tom down and told him she couldn’t go through with it. She explained that she had gotten caught up in the moment, but she needed a break. He was shocked that she changed her mind,” the source continued. “She broke his heart.”

The former couple first met through mutual friends. They were seen cozying up for the first time in December 2023 at a party in London’s Grosvenor Square.

“Tom is going into 2024 totally energized, excited and feeling healthier and happier than he has in years,” an insider told Us Weekly during the early stages of their relationship. “This is a very special time for him, and having a serious relationship in his life that he can build on is the icing on the cake.”

Tom Cruise Girlfriend 2015: Emily Thomas' Parents Don't Approve Of The 'Mission Impossible' Actor?

A lot of rumors about Tom Cruise's alleged girlfriend has been circulating this 2015.

According to previous reports, Tom Cruise has purportedly fallen in love with his 22-year-old assistant, Emily Thomas. Earlier this 2015, the "Mission Impossible" star's girlfriend has caught a lot of attention for purportedly looking a lot like Tom Cruise's ex-wife, Katie Holmes.

Back when Tom Cruise was shooting "Mission: Impossible 5" in November, Us Weekly  reported that the actor has already been crushing on Emily Thomas.

"He's always flirting with her," a source told Us. "Most people on the film have noticed how into her he is. He's already asked Emily to go out to dinner with him, on a date, when they're done shooting."

Things between Tom Cruise and his rumored girlfriend have reportedly been going smoothly since they worked together in "Mission Impossible" which hit theaters this 2015.

Tom Cruise has also employed Emily Thomas to be his assistant for his 2015 movies, including the one he's shooting right now entitled "Mena."

However, it seems that Emily Thomas' mom and dad are allegedly not on board on their daughter's purported relationship with the movie star.

"Emily's parents were ecstatic for her when she got the job as Tom's assistant on Mission: Impossible, but they never imagined in a million years thought their daughter would fall for him," an insider reportedly told Dish Nation .

"Emily is obviously close to Tom, since she's his assistant, but there's no telling with a 22-year-old whether or not she'd be honest with them about her love life."

Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas' disapproval of Tom Cruise may have something to do with his past relationships and how he is as a dad.

"It's not just Tom's age, although it's a factor for them," the insider added. "He's clearly had a string of unsuccessful relationships and three marriages that ended in divorce. He doesn't see his kids very often. He would thrust their daughter into the often mean spotlight of the public eye.'

Another thing that doesn't impress the parents of Tom Cruise's girlfriend? The actor's religion.

"And they won't even begin to get into the Scientology aspect because it's something they view very negatively and do not want their daughter involved in," the insider dished out.

Tom Cruise Is ‘Extremely Confident’ About His ‘Special’ Relationship With Elsina Khayrova: Source (Exclusive)

Tom Cruise and Elsina Khayrova have been quietly dating for “a while now” ahead of their public debut in December, a source exclusively reveals in the newest issue of Us Weekly .

“They’re very happy,” the insider says. “And Tom’s extremely confident about it working out for the long term.”

Earlier this month, Cruise, 61, was spotted getting cozy with the Russian socialite, 36, at a party in London’s Grosvenor Square. However, the couple’s England outings didn’t stop there.

“They’ve hung out at Tom’s favorite private members club and regularly enjoy afternoon tea and gourmet dinners out in London,” the source continues.

The Top Gun: Maverick star and Khayrova met through mutual friends in the city’s social scene, according to the insider. “Tom’s become a popular figure in London among the well-heeled, elite types,” the source adds. “What started as a basic friendship quickly turned into something more special.”

While the romance is still in the early stages, Cruise’s eldest children, Isabella, 30, and Connor, 28 , have given their stamp of approval. (Cruise shares the two kids with ex-wife Nicole Kidman . He also shares a daughter with ex-wife Katie Holmes .)

Isabella and Connor “think Elsina is great and are so happy to see that their dad has love in his life again,” the insider tells Us , sharing that Cruise has been waiting for the right person . “He wanted to take his time and not rush into any relationships just for the sake of it,” the source explains.

Khayrova, for her part, is fresh out of a relationship. She filed for divorce from Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov in 2022 after separating two years prior. The exes, who share two children, made headlines for their messy legal battle earlier this year. During the proceedings, which have since been settled, Khayrova was accused of hiding her $1 million handbag collection as the former couple argued over assets.

All About Tom Hardy's Wife Charlotte Riley & Their 3 Kids

From Peaky Blinders to the Edge of Tomorrow , get to know Charlotte Riley — Tom Hardy’s other Hollywood half.

As the rugged ringleader of a 1960s motorcycle gang, Tom Hardy’s newest movie role in The Bikeriders (in theaters beginning June 21) is sure to find him hitting the screen at full throttle. But what fans of the Hollywood A-lister might not realize is that Hardy’s just one-half of a Hollywood couple whose relationship roots run deep through his own acting past.

Hardy and British actor Charlotte Riley have been married for almost a decade, having first tied the knot on the 4th of July all the way back in 2014. It’s a union that sparked after the future couple first met in 2009, on the set of a lavish period drama that teamed the two stars as a pair of romantic literary heavyweights.

From box office smashes like  The Dark Knight Rises  and  Venom to his earlier turns in critical film hits like Layer Cake (2004), Marie Antoinette (2006), and Inception (2010), Hardy has hardly been difficult to spot whenever a project he’s attached to percolates upward and into the spotlight. But through the birth of two children and a whole decade’s worth of celebrity-couple tabloid attention, Riley has also watched her own film career grow — and the odds are good that you’ve spotted her in way more than one high-profile project.

Who is Tom Hardy’s wife Charlotte Riley?

Born in 1981 in the northern English village of Grindon, County Durham, Riley attended local schools and participated in local theater before eventually taking her talents to London, where she attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Landing her earliest TV roles round that same time, Riley nabbed her first big screen gig (opposite Jessica Biel and Colin Firth) in the 2008 British rom-com Easy Virtue .

The very next year, Riley landed a part that would forever change her personal fortunes, taking on the role of Catherine Earnshaw in the 2009 British event series adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights . The leading man playing her star-crossed love interest? Yep, it was none other than Tom Hardy, cast in the iconic antihero’s role of Heathcliff.

Hardy’s screen career already had begun to take off at the time, thanks to his early-2000s appearances in films like Star Trek: Nemesis , Layer Cake , and Sucker Punch (and only three short years before his deliciously villainous role as Bane in Christopher Nolan’s crowning Batman trilogy flick The Dark Knight Rises ). But as fate would have it, his casting alongside Riley would prove especially providential — and not just for either actor’s screen career.

Where have you seen Charlotte Riley onscreen?

As it turned out, Wuthering Heights wasn’t the only occasion when Riley and Hardy would star together — not even in 2009. The same year as their onscreen lovers’ meeting in Wuthering Heights , the acting duo also appeared in British TV crime drama The Take . With their offscreen chemistry quickly cementing even when the cameras weren’t rolling, Hardy proposed to Riley in 2010, launching a four-year courtship that formally ended when the pair married July 4, 2014.

Throughout that time and continuing all the way into the present day, Riley has maintained a busy but selective acting career even as her Hollywood husband has tackled a vast range of box office blockbusters including Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Dunkirk (2017), Venom (2018) and its sequels, and the upcoming action thriller Havoc (2025).

Riley starred opposite Tom Cruise in the 2014 sci-fi action movie Edge of Tomorrow;  joined the cast of the enormously popular British crime series Peaky Blinders;  played the Ghost of Christmas Present in BBC’s 2019 adaptation of A Christmas Carol (which Hardy himself co-produced); and, most recently, portrayed enigmatic time traveler Aelita West (opposite Chloë Grace Moretz) in the trippy sci-fi series The Periphera l. All the while, she’s kept the pace steady through consistent television appearances, primarily in historical period dramas and lighthearted comedies including Close to the Enemy (2016), King Charles III (2017), and the oil-magnate miniseries saga Trust (2018).

Do Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley have children?

Since tying the knot in 2014, Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy have welcomed two children of their own into their growing family — though they’ve successfully kept their kids’ private lives well separated from the media spotlight.

Although the couple has sustained a firm silence regarding details about their two children (including any public confirmation of their names), Riley reportedly (via People ) gave birth to their first child — a daughter — late in 2015, followed in late 2018 (or perhaps early 2019) by the birth of their second child , a son. Riley, meanwhile, is also stepmother to Hardy’s older child, Louis Thomas, whom Hardy fathered from a previous relationship with film industry insider Rachel Speed.

Despite the couple’s understandable reluctance to subject their children to scrutinizing tabloid eyes, both Riley and Hardy have shared insight into how family life has help shape their relationship. “There was no longer very much time for me to think about myself anymore,” Hardy confided to the Daily Mail not long after the birth of their son, “…because there is somebody now on the planet who really needs me to get my act together and focus on something that is more important than me.”

Riley, meanwhile, has obliquely acknowledged the importance of children and family through her advocacy of the Keeping Families In Film campaign, a movement to improve on-set child care availability for working parents in the entertainment industry. “I've seen so many talented people leaving the industry when they became parents and just not being able to make their job, their film life, work in the industry with their family life,” she explained to Sky News  in 2021 of her passion for the family-focused initiative.

The Biggest Romance Rumors To Ever Surround Tom Cruise

A s someone who has been in the spotlight for most of his life, Tom Cruise has been the center of rumors — lots of them. But perhaps the rumors that have gotten most people riled up are those about his dating life.

One of the juiciest bits of gossip? That Cruise has a thing for divorcing his wives when they hit the age of 33. And guess what? It checks out. He split from Nicole Kidman , Katie Holmes, and Mimi Rogers when they were all that age. A former Scientologist told HuffPost that the pattern likely ties back to the religion, as it sees the number as something significant. "The number 33 is known as the 'Master Teacher,'" they explained. "It represents altruism and increasing your positive energy. It's associated with healing powers through love."

Cruise hasn't addressed this bizarre coincidence, but he has had plenty to say about the endless speculation over his love life. From his rumored romance with a Russian socialite to his purported fling with Hayley Atwell, here are some of the biggest rumors about the actor's dating history.

Tom Reportedly Proposed To Russian Socialite Elsina Khayrova Just After A Few Months Of Dating

Post-Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise has toned down his infamous couch-jumping antics and kept his love life on the down-low, leaving us guessing about the string of people he's supposedly dated over the years. At the tail end of 2023, rumors started swirling that the actor had started romancing Russian model and socialite Elisa Khayrova after they were reportedly seen canoodling at a party in London. The two reportedly met through the city's social scene and hit it off right away. "Tom's become a popular figure in London among the well-heeled, elite types," a source told Us Weekly . "What started as a basic friendship quickly turned into something more special."

People in their circle initially thought that their relationship might actually go the distance, with an insider dishing to the outlet that the pair was "super happy together" and that the "Mission Impossible" star had been "very relaxed and content with his life right now." But come March 2024, reports surfaced that they had called it quits. Apparently, Cruise had been over the moon that he didn't hesitate to get down on one knee, which sent Khayrova running. Fresh from a messy divorce from a Russian oligarch, she wasn't exactly itching to sprint down the aisle again. "She started questioning why Tom was in such a rush to tie the knot," an insider told Radar Online . "It was all moving too fast. She got scared off."

Elisabeth Moss Was Rumored To Have Been Arranged To Marry Tom

With both Elisabeth Moss and Tom Cruise being high-profile members of Scientology, it's not shocking that romance rumors have swirled around them . But these weren't your run-of-the-mill dating rumors. Let's just say that they were a tad bit more dramatic. In 2014, rumor has it that they were set to marry — with the blessings of Scientology's higher-ups, no less.

"Friends think it would be great for both of them -- and Scientol­ogy," an insider dished to National Enquirer , noting that the church leaders would "be delighted to have their lead­ing member become involved with another celebrity Scien­tologist." The insider added that "The Handmaid's Tale" star was the perfect match for Cruise, both career-wise and personality-wise. " Lizzie is beautiful, smart and a little quirky," they noted. "She can hold her own in the spotlight, and marry­ing Tom would be good for both their careers. She has no children of her own and would be an ideal candidate to have one with Tom."

It wasn't until years later that Moss squashed the rumor. She addressed it in an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" and set the record straight once and for all. "How did you miss that?" she quipped. "I actually was confused and also mainly got texts from people being like, 'I didn't know, why didn't you tell me?' And just confusion from my friends, but mainly poking fun at it 'cause obviously they knew it wasn't true."

Tom Denied Ever Dating Knight And Day Co-Star Cameron Diaz

Since time immemorial, it's been Hollywood cliché for co-stars to spark dating rumors, so when Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were rumored to be an item while filming "Knight and Day," everyone just rolled their eyes — especially Cruise. The two sparked romance rumors right after Cruise's split from Katie Holmes , so naturally, people speculated that Diaz was his rebound.

Cruise's team made it a point to shut down the speculations almost as soon as they started circulating. "It's false. They are friends," one of his reps told E! News . Meanwhile, Diaz herself didn't bother with a direct denial, but she did gush about Cruise's friendship and work ethic, sharing during an appearance on  "The Oprah Winfrey Show"  that she thinks highly of the actor. "He has a very high standard," she shared, noting that Cruise is the ideal co-star. "So that's a wonderful thing. That's what you know you're getting when you're working with Tom. You know that you're getting someone who is dedicated to bringing the best product forward possible, and to do that, you have to be engaged in the process."

Hayley Atwell Was 'Upset' About Being Linked To Tom

Another co-star who couldn't escape the dating rumor mill with Tom Cruise is Hayley Atwell , his fellow star in "Mission: Impossible." Reports claimed that their on-set chemistry blossomed into a full-blown romance and that they dated for an entire year — an eternity in Hollywood terms. "They really got on well -- and they're obviously both very good-looking Hollywood stars so it made for a good match," an insider told The Sun , adding that the two apparently called it quits after wrapping up the film. "But as the latest film winds down they've decided to go back to being friends."

Atwell, who is nearly two decades younger than Cruise, was less than thrilled about the rumors. She expressed her frustration to The Independent , saying she doesn't appreciate being romantically linked to people she holds dear. "I would be like, 'Ooh, there's some weird rumors, and it feels base, it feels a little dirty, it feels grubby, it's not what I'm about,'" she shared, noting that she wasn't happy about the whole ordeal as "it's involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive." And besides, to her, Cruise may just as well be part of her family. Per the star, she considers Cruise and the film director Chris McQuarrie as "sort of two uncles." And seriously, who's signing up to date their uncle?

Tom Supposedly Wants To Romance Angelina Jolie

After his high-profile marriages went up in flames, you'd think Tom Cruise would steer clear of dating another celebrity. But if rumors are to be believed, he's got his sights set on none other than Angelina Jolie. Is it perhaps to spite Jolie's ex, Brad Pitt, who he supposedly doesn't get along with ?

A source told Heat World that the two A-listers have been in talks for years about collaborating but have yet to see it to fruition. Over the years, Jolie was said to have developed an interest in getting to know Cruise on a personal level. "Ange has seemed more open to getting to know him socially," the insider dished. Cruise reportedly feels the same and that he's determined to find a way for the two of them to finally work together so he could have an in. "His goal right now is to convince her to work with him, then he'll romance her," the source added. And, believe it or not, Cruise has apparently learned a thing or two from his past. This time, he's not looking into forcing Scientology at all. "He quite astutely knows that it would send an anti-religious Angelina running in the other direction," they said.

But Jolie isn't exactly biting. She's publicly stated she has no plans to date Cruise — or anyone else — and would much rather focus on tending to her kids. "They are the closest people to me and my life, and they're my close friends," she told WSJ Magazine . "We're seven very different people, which is our strength."

Russian disinformation group—known by Microsoft as Storm-1679—uses fake Tom Cruise Netflix documentary to disrupt Paris Olympics 

A pro-Russian propaganda effort is using artificial intelligence as part of a vast operation to suggest that violence is likely to occur at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, according to Microsoft Corp. findings  released Sunday .

One disinformation group used fake AI-generated audio to make it appear as if actor Tom Cruise had narrated a video titled  Olympics Has Fallen , modeled after the 2013 action movie  Olympus Has Fallen , researchers found. The video, which spread in the fall of 2023, presented itself as a Netflix Inc. documentary, including with the use of Netflix’s signature introduction that the company uses on all of its streaming videos. 

The video also included falsified endorsements from well-known media outlets including the New York Times and the BBC.

In fact, the influence campaign was the work of a pro-Russian propaganda group that Microsoft calls Storm-1679, the company said. The video represented one example of a rapidly growing pool of suspected Russian operators who are working now to denigrate the image of the Olympics and France, the Games’ host country, after the International Olympic Committee prohibited Russian athletes from competing under the country’s flag.

In addition to disinformation, hackers probably began first probing IT systems linked to the Games for weaknesses about a year ago and then began ramping up actual attacks 4 months before the Games to try and disrupt them, he says.

The aim of the Russian-affiliated groups appears to be to deter people from attending the games, according to the report. Microsoft’s researchers said they expect the activity will intensify ahead of the July kickoff, with the Russian groups adding additional languages and harnessing generative artificial intelligence to expand their reach. 

“We think this is the number one security threat to the Games,” said Dale Buckner, a 24-year US Army veteran and chief executive officer of Global Guardian. The potential impact of disinformation and hacking at the Olympics could lead to disruptions and unrest at the event, said Buckner, whose company provides security to Fortune 1000 executives and will do so in Paris.

“With AI now you’re going to have a level of disinformation we haven’t seen before.”

The IOC and Paris 2024 organizers didn’t immediately return a request for comment. A representative for the Kremlin didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Researchers determined that pro-Russian groups also impersonated France24, a French media outlet, in a video which falsely claimed that 24% of Olympic ticket-buyers had sought refunds amid fears of terrorism in Paris. Terrorism has haunted Paris in recent years, including a murder in 2023 and the 2015 Islamic State attacks in which 130 people died and hundreds more were injured. 

Safety concerns have arisen amid the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said in May, adding that the IOC has “full confidence” in France’s ability to keep the Games secure. Authorities are instituting  special anti-terrorism measures , enforcing increased background checks and  cutting the number  of spectators allowed to watch the opening ceremony along the Seine River.

The promotion of such misinformation comes amid growing scrutiny of Russian propaganda in Europe, where European Union officials have taken issue with the way that propaganda groups use the messaging app Telegram to broadcast their messaging. 

Such posts typically fail to generate much attention on social media. The extent to which such misinformation operations impact public perceptions remains an open question. Instead, national security officials and internet researchers have pointed to propaganda efforts as indicators of a country’s geopolitical interests.

Falsified local news outlets currently are a major focus of digital operatives. One disinformation campaign, known as Doppelganger,  recently has portrayed itself as German media outlets to inflame anti-immigration sentiment in that country, and sought to undercut support for Ukraine via English-language  posts,  according to the cyber firm Recorded Future Inc . Doppelganger also posed as an outlet called Reliable News Network to warn of potential violence at the Olympics, Microsoft found. 

Russian-based hackers have been implicated in an attack on the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea and a 2016 hack on the World Anti-Doping Agency that released the private medical information of several athletes.
