Tom Cruise remains one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars with a career spanning more than four decades. The 63-year-old actor, reportedly worth over USD 600 million, with movies amassing a total worldwide box office collection exceeding USD 13.3 billion, has been in the headlines over his personal and professional life.

When not in the news for his high-octane action movies and death-defying stunts, he is making waves with his rumours of romances, the latest being with Hollywood beauty Ana de Armas. Cruise’s personal life has long drawn media scrutiny and public attention, particularly his three failed marriages, his relationship with his three children and even his Scientology religion.

Tom Cruise’s relationship with Ana de Armas
