Tom Cruise: Life in Pictures
Anyone but Tom!
Cruise and Paula Wagner took charge of United Artists, and their film “Valkyrie” is about an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Because of intense opposition to Scientology in Germany, some Germans object to Cruise playing Col. Claus von Stauffenberg (pictured, left), a man they consider a hero. They dont even want him filming in Germany. (AFP/Getty Images)
Past romances
Cruise and Mimi Rogers tied the knot in 1987, and untied it in 1990. She is believed to have introduced him to Scientology.
After filming “Days of Thunder” with Nicole Kidman (pictured), Cruise married her in 1990. They adopted two children, and divorced in 2001.
Next came a relationship with “Vanilla Sky” costar Penelope Cruz. (Don Kelsen / Los Angeles Times)
And then there was Katie
Cruise and Katie Holmes started dating in April 2006, announced their engagement in June and married in November. Between the proposal atop the Eiffel Tower and the Italian wedding, the tabloids were in heaven. And if you ever doubt Cruise’s feelings for his wife, just go to YouTube and watch the infamous couch-jumping incident again (or click on slide No. 4).
When Holmes became pregnant, Cruise purchased a sonogram machine. Experts warned that excessive use of the machine would be dangerous, but Holmes gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Suri. (AFP/Getty Images)
