Why All of Tom Cruise’s Marriages End at 33—The Internet Has a Wild Theory
People online have started to notice a strange pattern in Tom Cruise’s past relationships, and it’s sparked a lot of wild talk across social media.
Cruise has been married three times. His first wife was actress Mimi Rogers. The two got married in 1987 but went their separate ways three years later.
Soon after, he married Nicole Kidman in 1990. That marriage lasted over a decade before ending in 2001. A few years later, in 2006, Cruise married Katie Holmes, and they welcomed their daughter Suri not long after. Their marriage ended in 2012.
At first glance, it might just seem like a series of unlucky relationships. But many people noticed something that seems too strange to ignore, each of his ex-wives was 33 years old when their marriage to Cruise ended.
The popular X account Uber Facts pointed this out in a viral post that read: “Tom Cruise’s three ex-wives, Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes, were all 33 years old when their marriages ended.”

That detail has led to several theories online, with some even linking the number to Cruise’s connection with Scientology.
According to SheKnows, Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard described the number 33 as a symbol of “a desire to enlighten others and guide them to their destiny.”
Katie Holmes reportedly filed for divorce from Cruise due to concerns about protecting her daughter from the church’s influence. The process was finalized in just 11 days.
After his split from Nicole Kidman in 2001, the Australian actress made a light-hearted joke during an interview on The Late Show with David Letterman. When asked how she was doing, she smiled and said, “Well, I can wear heels now.” The crowd burst out laughing before Kidman quickly added, “Let’s move on. Now we move on.”
Kidman and Cruise share two adopted children, Isabella and Connor, who are now adults. Meanwhile, Kidman herself recently made headlines after her separation from singer Keith Urban, with whom she shares two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
It’s hard to know if the age pattern is just a coincidence or if there’s more behind it. Still, it’s one of those Hollywood mysteries that keeps fans guessing.
