Why Tom Cruise And Mimi Rogers' Wedding Was Kept A Secret

As actors, Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers know how relentless the media can be, which is why they made sure to keep their wedding under wraps. As opposed to Cruise's wedding to Katie Holmes — which reportedly took place in an Italian castle and cost millions of dollars — his wedding to Rogers was far more intimate and low-key, that even Cruise's publicist wasn't informed that it happened.

Entertainment Weekly reported that, in May 1987, Cruise and Rogers exchanged vows in a small ceremony in New York, surrounded by the key people in their life, including Cruise's mom, Mary Lee Mapother, and his best man, actor Emilio Estevez. Apparently, there was not a member of the press in sight, which was what the couple had wanted. Rogers didn't appreciate how the media hounded them, which they've constantly been experiencing ever since they attended an event together for the first time. ”There were 10 million photographers, all going mad, pushing and shoving,” Rogers shared with Chicago Tribune. ”I was just madly trying to get out of the way.”

Sadly, their marriage was shortlived, and by 1990, Cruise was already married to someone else — Nicole Kidman. "Before Nicole I was dissatisfied, wanting something more. It was just two people who weren't meant to work and it wasn't what I wanted for my life," he once told Talk Magazine, according to Today. "I think you just go on different paths. But it wasn't Mimi's fault... It's just the way it is."
