Tom Cruise’s Split With Penelope Cruz Was Because Of ‘Church Of Scientology’ Acting As A Third Wheel In Their Relationship? Here’s The Truth

Tom Cruise on many occasions has made headlines for his alleged association with The Church Of Scientology. While his professional life has always been amazing it looks like the Hollywood superstar has constantly suffered on the personal front. It was earlier believed that Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes departed from the actor’s life due to the Church of Scientology. However, it seems Cruise’s other former lover Penelope Cruz parted ways due to the same reason. Scroll down to read more.

Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz first met while filming their movie Vanilla Sky in 2000. The Mission Impossible star at the time was married to Nicole Kidman but they ended up in different directions in 2001.

A report published way back in 2012 by Radar Online claimed that Penelope Cruz felt that the Church Of Scientology acted as the third wheel in her relationship with Tom Cruise. A source close to the situation spilled the beans at the time saying, “Tom had absolutely planned on proposing to Penelope, and they had openly discussed marriage during the three years they were dating,” adding, “Tom was head over heels in love with Penelope and could see them spending the rest of their lives together, and she felt the same way.” The insider continued, “However, Penelope pulled the plug on the relationship because she felt that the Church of Scientology was the third wheel in their relationship. Penelope doesn’t have anything against the Church, but it just wasn’t her thing. She admired Tom’s dedication to it, but it wasn’t her cup of tea and wasn’t something she wanted to give her life up for.”
