Tom Cruise is reportedly growing increasingly concerned that his quest for love will remain unfruitful, proving rumors that he’s not an ideal romantic partner.

The actor has supposedly pursued several high-profile women since his divorce from Katie Holmes without much success, and he has not been able to connect with any of them as he did with his ex-wife.

With Holmes in a budding relationship with contemporary artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, a source said that Tom Cruise’s loneliness is more evident as the actor continues to struggle with finding love again.

Cruise has reportedly been on a quest to find the one, but for as long as he has tried, he has remained unsuccessful, leading to the actor not feeling particularly desirable.

According to Closer Magazine, a source close to the “Mission Impossible” star claimed that Cruise is conscious of the way his romantic history has been viewed publicly.

“Tom is all too aware that he’s become this poster child for failed relationships,” the source told the publication.

Cruise has had three marriages that ended in divorce, starting with Mimi Rogers in 1987, Nicole Kidman in 1990, and the latest being Holmes in 2006.

Since his separation from Holmes, the 64-year-old has been romantically linked with several famous women, including Shakira.

However, those relationships didn’t go the way Cruise wanted, with the Shakira bit being “pretty demoralizing and embarrassing,” according to the source.

Nevertheless, the A-lister has “tried so hard to find love again,” but his repeated failed attempts have caused him to worry that, “there’s truth to this long-running narrative that, for all his fame and fortune, he’s totally undateable!”

The Actor’s Relationship With Katie Holmes Was Different

Cruise’s quest for a lasting relationship is allegedly not simply about finding someone to spend his life with; he supposedly wants to find love as he had with his former wife.

“He has tried so hard to find love again. He’s romanced so many women, and nothing has clicked the way it did between him and Katie,” the source told Closer.

The insider noted that his relationship with Holmes was “truly the last time he was in love,” suggesting his search for his special someone is an attempt to find what he lost.

Cruise and Holmes were officially married for six years. They were once among the most talked-about celebrity couples, with the media dubbing the pair “TomKat.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Holmes reportedly had a crush on the actor long before they officially met.

In a 2004 interview following her role as Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek, she said, “I used to think I was going to marry Tom Cruise.”

The pair would officially meet in 2005 and subsequently begin a romance that saw the actor famously jump up on Oprah Winfrey’s couch, declaring his love for Holmes while appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

Holmes reportedly converted from Catholicism to Scientology, Cruise’s religion of choice, and they got engaged almost eight weeks after meeting and welcomed their daughter Suri in April 2006.

The actress had her wedding dreams fulfilled in November 2006 in what was described as a “lavish affair” in Italy.

On June 29, 2012, Holmes officially filed for divorce and cut all ties with the Church of Scientology. The split is said to have left Cruise “deeply saddened” and ended a romance the “Top Gun” star has been trying to find again ever since.

The Actor Couldn’t Make It Work With Ana de Armas

Cruise has unsuccessfully dated several women following his relationship with Holmes, and his most recent failed romance was said to be with actress Ana de Armas.

People Magazine reported that the pair were just friends and were never officially a couple; however, other sources claimed they had a more romantic connection.

Their alleged romance was, however, short-lived, with the pair supposedly breaking up months after they were first rumored to be in a relationship.

An insider told the Daily Mail that Cruise and Armas’ relationship ended because, “they weren’t able to figure it out as a couple, and they wanted to save the future of their friendship and their movie.”

Holmes was first rumored to be dating her current partner, Jason Bard Yarmosky, after they were reportedly seen holding hands at a movie screening.

The couple finally went Instagram official in September, with the actress posting a social media tribute to her new flame, saying, “Happy Birthday to the best of the best.”

According to the Closer source, while Cruise isn’t “bad mouthing” the “Dawson’s Creek” actress and wishes “nothing but happiness for her,” Holmes finding love with someone else “highlights his loneliness.”

After several failed romantic attempts, Cruise’s love life has supposedly gotten “seriously embarrassing,” and he is now allegedly questioning himself and wondering if he is the problem.
