LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There is no doubt that Sofia Vergara is among the most attractive women on the planet, but she is more than just a pretty face. She has established a lucrative acting career, topping Forbes' list of highest-paid actresses in 2020 with earnings of $43 million. In general, when you hear the names Tom Cruise and Sofia Vergara, you don't picture them together, much less in a romantic context. This unique couple did date, even though their relationship was short-lived, and Cruise might have even played a significant role in Vergara's success.
The 50-year-old stunning actress recently appeared on the Season 18 premiere of 'America’s Got Talent' and fans seem to love her for that. The Season 18 premiere of 'AGT' aired on Tuesday, May 30 on NBC with returning judges Sofia Vergara, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel on the panel to discover new talent, as per Gold Derby. This summer, the judges' dais remains the same, with executive producer Simon Cowell and veteran judge Howie Mandel at the ends of the table. Along with Sofia Vergara, who took a sabbatical while 'All-Stars' aired earlier this year, Heidi Klum also makes her return to the show.
What truly transpired between Sofia Vergara and Tom Cruise?
According to Pop Sugar, Cruise met Vergara when he was allegedly introduced to her by Will Smith at a pre-Oscars party. According to Andrew Morton, who wrote a biography of the actor's love life, Sofia was charmed by Tom's bright grin and found his constant calls, flower bouquets, and chocolate gifts entertaining.
However, most people have completely forgotten about this underrated romance between the two. Why?
According to The Things, Vergara wasn't particularly well-known at the time because the relationship began before she was a main character on the show 'Modern Family.' In the profile of their brief relationship, biographer Morton noted that Vergara was not interested in adopting Cruise's ideals of Scientology. "It soon became clear that she was being auditioned for the biggest role of her life — Mrs Tom Cruise. It was made clear that if she took the part, she would have to renounce her Catholic faith and convert," wrote Morton.
They both moved on after the relationship abruptly faded out. While Vergara later wed another actor, Joe Manganiello, Cruise was married to Katie Holmes. Cruise and Vergara are an ideal example of an unlikely celebrity couple that nobody would ever expect to be together. They were clearly on the right track, but ultimately their convictions prevented them from following through.
How Cruise helped Sofia Vergara rise to fame?
After struggling in the big city due to a betrayal from a former partner, Vergara was taking as many acting gigs as she could to provide for herself. Reportedly, Cruise reportedly called Vergara unexpectedly one evening and personally invited him to his upcoming birthday celebration. The two were photographed together the night of the party, and it is clear from the pictures that they had already established a close bond.
Despite the fact that their romance didn't last, Vergara's time with Cruise received enough news coverage for a major talent agency to show interest in her. The rest is history now that Vergara has secured the safety she had been seeking ever since landing in America by executing an impressive contract with the company.
