18) Cher & Tom Cruise

It took until 2008 for Cher to open up to Oprah (of all people) about this relationship, but then the details just kept spilling. In the mid-eighties, Cher and Cruise met at a White House fundraising event. The 23-year-old Cruise was just beginning his trek to stardom and the 39-year-old Cher found him completely endearing. “I was crazy about him” she admits, and who wouldn’t be? It wasn’t like he was a scientologist back them.

Cher describes Cruise as a shy man who was “such a boob in school”, which was even better when they went out to a New York restaurant on a date and the waitress was an old school buddy of Cruise’s. The waitress recognized Cher, and Cruise was well on his way to high school payback.

Cruise met Mimi Rogers (who would become his first wife) several months later and he broke things off with Cher. This wasn’t before the couple had a few hot and steamy nights together and, to this day, Cher describes Cruise as being on her “top five” list of lovers.
