Inside Tom Cruise's Relationship With Mimi Rogers

Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers have varying accounts about how they met. Cruise insists they met at a dinner party while he was developing "Top Gun," whereas Rogers stated that the two were set up by mutual friends. "I wasn't seeing anybody, he wasn't seeing anybody, and they thought, 'These people should be going out with somebody — let's see if they want to go out with each other ... And we said, 'Aw, what the heck'" (via the Sun Sentinel). Regardless of how they were actually introduced, Cruise and Rogers hit it off almost immediately.

The two discussed the idea of marriage pretty early on in their relationship, and it's widely believed that Rogers is the one who initially introduced Cruise to Scientology (via E!). They decided to wed in secret in May 1987 to avoid the onslaught of press and media attention they had been garnering since making their public debut. Reportedly, the only two people in attendance at the wedding were Cruise's mother and his best man, Emilio Estevez (via Entertainment Weekly). Though it seemed like the pair were well matched, they eventually parted ways three years later in 1990.
