Tom Cruise’s romantic history includes several high-profile lovers including Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.

However, one partner that may be surprising to some is singer Cher.

Despite a 16-year age gap, the two sparked a connection.

The two initially met at the Malibu wedding of Sean Penn and Madonna in August 1985.

It’s unknown how long she was there, but it’s apparent things had gotten serious.

She even ranked her once-young beau as one of her top five lovers during that episode.

That chemistry seemingly fizzled after several months together.

Cruise met actor Mimi Rogers the same year he was first introduced to Cher.

He and Rogers walked down the aisle in May 1987.

It’s unclear if his relationship with Rogers overlapped with his fling with Cher.

However, the superstar didn’t appear to harbor any hard feelings toward the “Mission Impossible” frontman.

However, their religious views appear to differ.

In 1986, he was introduced to Scientology and has seemingly been practicing since.

“I don’t get what he does, that whole Scientology thing.

I can’t understand it so I just … don’t,” she explained.
