Tom Cruise didn’t get to be this popular because he is an ugly man, so it only makes sense that despite being married three times he’s also dated his fair share of sexy, famous women, right? Right. But how many women has Tom Cruise allegedly hooked up with over the years and who were they? Read on to find out.

Melissa Gilbert (1982)
Cruise and Gilbert dated as teens before Tom was even famous. Man, even then he was overachieving.
Hookup score: 9.0
Melissa Gilbert was pretty damn hot back in 1982, folks.

Heather Locklear (1982)
Locklear and Tom Cruise also dated before Tom made it big time. She has said that she doesn’t even remember if they kissed.
Hookup score: 10.0
Ah, those crazy kids in the 80s.

Rebecca De Mornay (1983-1985)
One of the most legendary on-screen couples (Risky Business) took it off screen for a little while.
Hookup score: 9.0
How could they not have after those scenes?

Cher (1986)
Cher and Cruise dated for a little while after he became a star. There have also been reports of them being together in 2002 and 2003.
Hookup score: 9.0
She said in 2008 that Tom was very different back when they dated and she feels confused looking at him now. Maybe it’s early onset Alzheimer’s.

Mimi Rogers (1986-1990)
Mimi Rogers was the first of Tom’s three wives and reportedly the one who introduced him to Scientology.
Hookup score: 9.0
Way to go, Mimi.

Nicole Kidman (1989-2001)
Cruise and Kidman began dating while working on Days of Thunder together and got married later that same year.
Hookup score: 9.0
And then they separated in one of the weirdest divorces in history.

Penelope Cruz (2001-2004)
Cruz and Cruise began dating after starring together in the film Vanilla Sky as he was in the process of getting divorced from Nicole Kidman.
Hookup score: 10.0
Too bad they didn’t get married so she could have become Penelope Cruise. Because that would have been kind of cool.

Nazanin Boniadi (2004-2005)
Cruise and actress Nazanin Boniadi dated briefly until, it was reported, she insulted Scientology head honcho David Miscavige. Cruise then allegedly had his staff tell her they were breaking up. That should have been on our list.
Hookup score: 9.0
Arguably the hottest, yet least famous, name on this list.

Sofia Vergara (2005)
Tom and Sofia allegedly met at a party thrown by Will Smith (who hasn’t?) and dated for several months, though neither of them would ever admit it.
Hookup score: 9.5
Hollyweird. (Half a point deduction for never admitting it, you dummy.)

Katie Holmes (2005-2012)
Highlight? Has to be Tom losing his mind on Oprah Winfrey’s couch.
Hookup score: 9.0
Lowlight? Pretty much the rest of this relationship.
Other less-substantiated alleged flings: Heidi Cortez, Jennifer Lopez, Yolanda Pecoraro
