The Most Unstable and Short-Lived Relationships in Hollywood History

Cher met Tom Cruise in the mid-1980s at a White House event, back when he was still a rising star and she was already a global icon. Their relationship stayed relatively private at the time, but it later became famous because of how unexpected the pairing was.

The romance didn’t last long. Cher later described Cruise as young and intense, while their lives moved at very different speeds. The relationship ended quietly, remembered more as a surprising footnote than a serious long-term romance.
