Cher and Tom Cruise had a short fling back in the 1980s. But as the Goddess of Pop recently talked about her past relationship with the 56-year-old actor, the rumors started to swirl that they are once again dating.
Cher and Cruise had a short romance in 1985. At the time, the iconic singer was 38-years-old while Katie Holmes' former husband was 22. Now, a gossip magazine claimed the ex-lovers revived their love story.
"They can't deny what they have felt for years any longer," an alleged source said about Cher and Cruise's rekindled romance. "There's no question they've been lusting after each other all this time."
Allegedly, Cher and Cruise are secretly meeting in Hawaii, Las Vegas, and L.A. for "sexy hookups," but "no strings attached." The "Top Gun" star reportedly didn't mind the 16-years age gap between them as he could not find the right woman his age, unlike the 72-year-old singer. The source added their friends believed they filled each other's needs that made them glad they are back together.
Gossip Cop slammed this report and said the gossip magazine's insider seemed to be unbelievable. Cher's rep even confirmed to the publication that the "Mamma Mia 2" star is not dating Cruise.
The rumors probably started when Cher talked about her short romance with Cruise in a recent interview. According to News.com.au, the two first met at Sean Penn and Madonna's wedding in 1985. They came across each other again at the White House when dyslexic people got an invite.
"Tom and I are both dyslexic," Cher revealed. But their relationship didn't start from there. Although it began "way later," the "Burlesque" star admitted that there was an instant connection between them.
Cher even included Cruise on her "top five list of lovers of all time" in 2013. In an interview with Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live," she described their relationship as "pretty hot and heavy for a little minute." The "Strong Enough" hitmaker even called Suri's father a "great and loveable guy."
Cher also talked about her relationship status today. "I'm still on the lookout," she said. She also revealed that she encountered a problem with his recent boyfriends lately.
"You can't keep a relationship going in this kind of goldfish bowl, where everything you do and every picture you have taken will be on Instagram," Cher explained. The new trend of dating made the "Believe" singer unable to keep "something special."
