He was already a successful actor prior to the marriage, having starred in Risky Business and Top Gun. It was Rogers who apparently first introduced Cruise to the Church of Scientology. Her father was one of the church’s original members. Their marriage was short lived and their divorce was finalised in 1990.

In a statement about the breakup the couple said: “While there have been positive aspects to our marriage, there were some issues which could not be resolved even after working on them for a period of time.” However in an interview with Playboy in 1993, Rogers said: “Tom was seriously thinking of becoming a monk. At least for that period of time, it looked as though marriage wouldn’t fit into his overall spiritual need.” Two days after the divorce was finalised, Cruise met Nicole Kidman who would become his second wife.

Nicole Kidman

Cruise married Nicole Kidman (The Northman, Moulin Rouge) in December 1990 after meeting her on the set of Days of Thunder.

Cruise filed for divorce in February 2001 citing irreconcilable differences and was granted full custody of their two children. Speaking to DuJour Magazine about the breakup Kidman said: "I thought our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system."
