What Tom Cruise's First Ex-Wife Is Doing Now

Tom Cruise was not Mimi Rogers' first husband(she previously married Scientology counselor Jim Rogers), nor was he her last.

Tom Cruise was not Mimi Rogers' first husband (she previously married Scientology counselor Jim Rogers), nor was he her last. In a 2001 interview with the U.K.'s The Telegraph, Rogers, who was pregnant at the time with her second child with now-husband Chris Ciaffa, said, "It's funny, I've been married twice and don't have any children from either of those relationships. Now, when I don't have a husband, I'm the mother of one child and have another on the way, so I guess not getting married was the way to go." Rogers and Ciaffa got married in 2003 after 13 years together, according to People.

In that same chat with the Telegraph, the interviewer implied that Rogers' "career [was] overshadowed by [Cruise's]," and Rogers disagreed. "I was doing the work that I wanted to do, and if I didn't have the commercial success that Tom had well, that's just the luck of the draw. When I met him, his career was just beginning to take off, and neither of us could imagine that he would become such a big star in such a short time," she explained. 

While his mega-fame didn't bother her, the emphasis on their age gap did. "Some of the tabloids brought it up all the time, and exaggerated the gap between Tom and me. Every six months they seemed to add a year to my age. If Tom and I were still married, the tabloids would probably have me in my sixties by now," she joked at the time. (Rogers is now 63, but that interview was nearly 20 years ago.)
