How Tom Cruise's Involvement In Scientology Has Affected His Love Life

Some of the wildest rumors about Tom Cruise involve Scientology. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Sea Org members – Scientology’s management organization – reportedly created a fake field of wildflowers in the desert, so Cruise and Nicole Kidman could romp their way through a romantic fantasy. And leading Scientologists auditioned women to be Cruise’s girlfriend and future wife. There’s actually credence to the latter, and it’s one of the ways Tom Cruise’s involvement in Scientology has affected his love life.

Andrew Morton writes in “Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography” (via Insider) that Scientology bigwigs vetted and screened a list of women Cruise had his eye on, including Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, and Sofia Vergara. Vergara made it to second base, meeting with Miscavige at the Scientology Center. However, despite him busting out the full charm offensive, Miscavige ultimately sent Vergara skedaddling after he went too heavy on convincing her to convert to Scientology. Another one bit the dust for Cruise. 

But Katie Holmes didn’t escape that easily. Morton claims in the New York Post that Miscavige’s fingerprints had been all over Cruise’s divorce from Kidman. He’d deemed her a threat to Scientology and decided she had to be cut loose. “Wives may come and go,” Morton writes. “Scientology is forever.” Penelope Cruz was “groomed” for the role next, but she was out after refusing to submit to Scientology. Miscavige’s wife was then handed the task of finding Mrs. Cruise III, and Shelly Miscavige decided on lucky, lucky Holmes.
