Tom Cruise is one of the most attractive leading men in Hollywood, and he has gone through a number of highly publicized breakups. 

The Vanilla Sky actor has been married three times: Mimi Rogers (from 1987 to 1990), Nicole Kidman (from 1990 to 2001); and Katie Holmes (from 2006 to 2012). As his career progressed and became more successful, his breakups became more well-known.

Whether it’s related to his work or personal life, the actor is frequently in the news for various reasons. Cruise and Holmes were one of Hollywood’s best-matched couples, and from 2005 to 2012, they received a lot of media attention. Although their couple was regarded as one of the sweetest, their marriage soon ended due to disagreements over child rearing and the actor’s alleged Scientology beliefs.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who were married in 2005, were the cutest celebrity couple at the time. The two frequently displayed PDA, and their relationship was very much a public affair—even the proposal was made in full view. It was reported that Cruise’s affiliation with Scientology was the cause of the two’s 2012 breakup.

However, the very reason they broke up was the same reason Cruise and Holmes  started dating in the first place. However, Cruise used the help of the Scientology church to find the “ideal” wife before he married the Dawson’s Creek actress.
