Meet Tom Cruise’s Wife and Kids
Mimi Rogers
Cruise has been married and divorced three times with three children. His first marriage was to actress Mimi Rogers on May 9, 1987. The marriage which ended in divorce on February 4, 1990, produced no kids. Mimi who introduced him to the infamous church of Scientology was older than Cruise by 6 years which came as not so much of a surprise to many as Cruise had become famous in the 80s for romancing older women, among whom was American singer Cher who is older than Cruise with 16 years making her the oldest woman he has ever dated.
Nicole Kidman
Tom Cruise’s next marriage was to another actress, Nicole Kidman whom he met on the set of the 1990 film Days of Thunder. They married on December 24, 1990. Though their marriage produced no biological children, the couple adopted two kids Isabella and Connor Antony born in 1992 and 1995 respectively. The couple could have had a biological child but Kidman had an ectopic pregnancy leading to the loss of the pregnancy. Cruise reportedly filed for divorce from Kidman in 2001 unaware of her pregnancy. He was given full custody of the kids.
Cruise’s daughter Isabela has largely stayed away from the public eye. In 2015, word got out that she married a certain Max Parker, an IT consultant. Mirror in 2019 reported that she lives her quiet life in a semi-detached house valued at £535,000 in Croydon. Like her father, she is a firm believer in the church of Scientology and is given to the study of the religion. She started a clothing line in 2018 called BKC (Bella Kidman Cruise).
Cruise’s son and Bella brother Connor like his sister shies away from the spotlight. He initially followed in his father’s footsteps to appear in two films – Seven Pounds (2008) and Red Dawn (2012) but would later abandon acting to pursue his passion for deep-sea fishing in Clearwater, Florida where he resides. Unlike his sister Bella, he openly runs an Instagram account @theconnorcruise where he has over 26K followers, however, he posts only occasionally. Connor is also a believer in the church of Scientology. Mirror reported in 2019 that he was engaged to his Scientology girlfriend.
Katie Holmes
Actress Katie Holmes became Cruise’s third wife following their fancy celebrity wedding on November 18, 2006, five years later in June 2012 Holmes filed divorce papers and in July 2012 the divorce was finalized with Holmes receiving full custody of their daughter Suri who was born before their marriage on 18 April 2006. According to their prenup, Katie received $400,000 as child support for their daughter Suri whom she raised in New York. Holmes’ divorce from Cruise put a strain on his relationship with daughter Suri from whom he is seemingly estranged. The former couple reportedly cut ties with each other after the divorce. The actor is said to have a tumultuous relationship with his daughter Suri compared to his adopted kids. The last time Cruise was spotted out with his daughter was on a trip to Disneyland on January 25, 2012. Her mother Holmes has been doing a great job raising her away from the media light. Following Holmes’ divorce from Cruise, she dated actor, musician Jamie Foxx from 2013 to 2019.

His Relationship With Church of Scientology
His first wife Rogers introduced him to the Church of Scientology. In 1990, Cruise renounced his Catholic beliefs and embraced The Church Of Scientology, claiming that its teachings had cured him of dyslexia that had plagued his life. Rumor has it that the movement which Cruise is a dedicated member of did not allow him to see Suri, his only biological daughter. There were also rumors that he tried to ‘brainwash’ Holmes into joining the cult-like religion. The religion is to be blamed for his failed marriages to both Holmes and Kidman.
Is Tom Cruise Gay?
Despite several speculations and questions about his sexuality, the actor has never come out as gay. In fact, he couldn’t qualify as gay if you put into consideration, the fact that he married three among the sexiest women in Hollywood.
Notably, Cruise and John Travolta have been roped in rumors in the past, claiming that the “Mission Impossible” actor and the “Grease” star shared a secret gay romance that has secretly lasted for three decades.
What Happened To His Teeth?
While he now has what many may describe as the perfect smile, thanks to dental surgery, Tom Cruise is left with one tooth right in the exact center of his face.
The actor who stands at 1.7m has reportedly had so much dental surgery, the entire top row of his dentition is completely different from what it used to be.
