Is Tom Cruise-Sofía Vergara romance set to get second chance?
After Vergara’s split from Joe Manganiello, Cruise is said to be eyeing another shot at love with the Colombian, who he dated in 2005.
Tom Cruise is rumoured to be seeking a second chance with Sofía Vergara after the Modern Family star’s split with Joe Manganiello.
Manganiello has officially filed for divorce after the couple announced last month that they were calling it quits following seven years of marriage.
Vergara, Cruise “have that history already”
Vergara, 51, and Cruise, 61, briefly dated in 2005, shortly before the Top Gun actor took up with future wife Katie Holmes. Cruise and Holmes divorced in 2012.
“[Vergara and Cruise] do have that history already, even if it was more of a brief dalliance than a fully-fledged romance,” a source told the UK’s Heat magazine, per The Mirror.
“They had a special time together partying in the Hollywood hills and having a blast. Sofia wasn’t really giving out the signals back then that she wanted anything long-term, so it petered out in a totally amicable fashion and they remained friends.”
Vergara “dazzled” by Cruise
Per Andrew Morton, the author of Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, it was fellow Hollywood star Will Smith who introduced Cruise and Vergara, at a pre-Oscars party 18 years ago.
Vergara “was dazzled by Tom’s megawatt smile and amused by the blizzard of phone calls, flowers, and chocolates that followed their first meeting”, Morton wrote in a 2012 piece in the New York Post.
