The journey of famous Hollywood celebrities like Tom Cruise needs no elaboration. His rise to stardom after becoming the face of Mission Impossible earned him worldwide acclaim. Although his acting career is much talked about, his dating life is no less exciting than his action packed movies. Before Cruise became a household name in the industry, he dated Little House on the Prairie actress Melissa Gilbert. In the early 1980s, when people would call Cruise Tom Who? and not the Hollywood heartthrob he is today, the two shared a brief romance.
While Cruise’s net worth may be gigantic today, his life hasn’t been smooth sailing. The Top Gun actor had no connection to the film industry, making it difficult for him to make a name for himself. Not only that, Cruz grew up in a strict and orthodox family in borderline poverty. Although it may shock his fans, he overcame a lot of hardships to get to where he is today.
Speaking retrospectively with Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Gilbert claimed: “Actually, when I was dating him, he was still Tom Maypoder. It was when he first moved to Los Angeles and I think I was 16, maybe 17. I didn’t have sex with him; we made out, but to be honest, there was no sex. He was a good kisser. But, you know, he was a struggling, starving actor. I bought him his first set of dishes.’
Unfortunately, Cruise and Gilbert split in the mid-1980s. Since then, the star has been in numerous relationships with famous Hollywood actresses, including Katie Holmes, Cher, Mimi Rogers, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman.
He was last seen with Elsina Khairova. However, the couple separated in February 2024.
