Tom Cruise’s Relationship Timeline and the ‘33 Curse’ Rumor

Tom Cruise’s three previous marriages have all ended when his partners were 33 years old, spawning a curious rumor of a “33 curse.” His first marriage was to Mimi Rogers in 1987, ending in divorce two years later when she was 33. His second marriage to Nicole Kidman lasted over a decade before ending in 2001, also when she was 33. Finally, Cruise’s marriage to Katie Holmes began in 2006 and concluded in 2012, coinciding again with the age 33 for Holmes.

Breaking the Pattern with Ana de Armas
