Tom Cruise is a big Hollywood star, starring in some of the highest-grossing films in history. But when it comes to his personal life, things get a little difficult. He has been married and divorced three times, and each time it has generated a lot of gossip news. Interestingly, there is a strange similarity between all of these separations.
Tom Cruise was married three times
It was May 9, 1987 when Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers walked down the aisle. They didn't have a big party in Hollywood, but instead opted for a more intim-te gathering. At the time, Tom Cruise was making a name for himself, while Mimi was already an established actress and producer. Their wedding didn't make the tabloids, but it marked the moment when two Hollywood talents came together.
Unfortunately, it did not have the longevity that many expected. In 1990, after three years of marriage, they separated. The reasons for their breakup were kept relatively secret, giving rise to speculation.
Years after her divorce, Mimi confessed: “What bothered me was the issue of age. Every six months, the press seemed to add another year to my age. “If we were still married, the press would already have me in my 60s.”
Less than a year after finalizing his divorce from Mimi Rogers, Tom and Nicole Kidman, another well-known figure in the entertainment industry, got married. Their marriage became a widely recognized and frequently discussed alliance.
Although at first they seemed like a glamorous and happy couple, Cruise and Kidman had to face numerous problems. In 2001, after 11 years together and two adopted children, they publicly announced their separation and divorce that same year.
They mostly kept the reasons for their split a secret, but years later, reflecting on her marriage to Cruise, Kidman stated: "I was so young when I got married. Now I look back and think, 'What?'
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes fell in love at first sight. The connection was so intense that they decided to get married just two months after meeting each other. Their wedding, in November 2006, was quite a spectacle in an impressive Italian castle. The guest list was a mix of big Hollywood names and other VIPs.
And suddenly, in 2012, after 6 years of marriage, they announced their divorce. It seemed like it happened in the blink of an eye, and Katie Holmes looked bewildered.
But even after all that, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes continued doing their thing in show business. They have a daughter named Suri, born in 2006. The whole custody agreement and concerns about her daughter's privacy became a big deal in the media circus.
These three couples share an unexpected and peculiar coincidence
Starting with Mimi Rogers, then Nicole Kidman and later Katie Holmes, the actor's sequence of marriages has unfolded in an intriguing way, sparking debates about the possible reasons behind it. What is intriguing is that all of these marriages ended when the women reached the age of 33.
Curiously, Tom Cruise has never remained married to a woman beyond the age of 33. His divorces around the age of 33 have aroused some curiosity. Some believe there is a connection with a special issue of Scientology, the religion with which he is associated. Scientology is about helping people find spiritual understanding and freedom. Just as the number 33 symbolizes guidance, Scientology aims to help people grow and discover themselves.
Scientology began in Arizona, which happens to be located on the 33rd parallel, a significant line on the globe. The number 33 is considered important in spiritual beliefs, as someone who guides others with wisdom. Tom Cruise is known for his involvement in Scientology and his teachings. However, we cannot be sure that his divorces at 33 are directly related to this number.
This situation bears a strong resemblance to that of Leonardo DiCaprio, who also attracted attention for his unconventional pattern of dating considerably younger women and breaking up around his 25th birthday.
