“It was never just for the cameras”: Painful End to Tom Cruise’s Romance With Hayley Atwell, Why Did the Mission Impossible 7 Stars Break up?

Popular for starring in action films like Mission: Impossible and Top Gun, Tom Cruise prefers to keep his private life out of the limelight. However, the stardom that comes with being one of the biggest stars in the industry has also put most of his relationships in the spotlight. His marriage and split from Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman have been in the public eye.

And his most recent romance with his Mission Impossible 7 co-star, Hayley Atwell, has also made several headlines over the past few years. However, their relationship was also short-lived, as the couple called it quits last year and decided that they were better off as friends.

It was also claimed that the lockdown has brought them even closer to each other, and the couple has become “inseparable.” The Marvel star also joined Cruise at the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick. Insiders shared that Atwell’s presence at the premiere was “purely to support” the Jack Reacher star.

However, they were soon referred to as having an on-again-off-again relationship, as the two reportedly broke things off in 2021 before getting back together. Cruise and Atwell officially called it quits last year just weeks after the two attended the Top Gun 2 premiere together.

“In spite of some rumors to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras. Unfortunately, it did not work out for them,” an insider told the outlet. They also shared that the two get on really well and also have great chemistry.

And this bond was allegedly the reason they decided to give it another try after their split in 2021. However, things were not as great as earlier after their relationship was made public. Sources claimed that the former couple has now decided that “they are better as friends.”
