Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell
Before getting engaged to the music producer for Bud Light and Samsung, Atwell was reportedly dating the Hollywood hunk, Tom Cruise. They hit it off when they met for the first time on the sets of the latest installment of Mission Impossible in 2020. They also attended the Wimbledon’s Women’s singles final sitting at the Royal Box in 2021. The two prolific actors were all smiles as they were photographed watching the tennis match. However, they broke up in 2021 only to be rumored to get back together again in May 2022 when Atwell attended the ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ premiere alongside Cruise in London, reports The Mirror.
A source told The Sun during that time, “Tom and Hayley’s relationship was genuine,” adding, “In spite of some rumors to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out for them.”
The source added, "They get on really well, and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year. They have now decided they are better as friends.”
An insider confirmed to The Mirror during that time, “It has been a very intense period of filming together. They really got on well – and they’re obviously both very good-looking Hollywood stars so it made for a good match,” before adding, “But as the latest film winds down they’ve decided to go back to being friends.”
The source also added, “Their filming schedules are very full-on, and Tom has a number of other commitments coming up and is always shooting around by private helicopter and jet so it just ran its course."
