After Hayley Atwell’s split, Tom Cruise sparks rumours of a new affair.

Tom Cruise, the Hollywood superstar, has apparently fallen head over heals in love with a British actress and had his “socks blown off” by her charm.

A source close to the Mission Impossible star confirmed the news.

According to OK! Magazine, the source began by recounting how “a few weeks ago, he was introduced to a stunning British actress and was instantly fascinated.”

The identity of the British star has not been released as of yet but from the get-go, the “incurable romantic” began to grow infatuated and “wooed her with flowers and gifts and dinners at his favourite London restaurants.”

Not long after Cruise’s advances began, “He completely swept her off her feet, even taking her on day trips aboard a plane that he piloted himself.”

“Tom has gotten lots of flack for being over-the-top when he falls in love, but he’s an incurable romantic.”

The same insider also revealed some insight into the actor’s present mental state, admitting that “his self-esteem must have taken quite a knock” after his affair with Atwell ended abruptly.

This is notable because the actor has not been spotted actively dating since his romance with Katie Holmes ended in 2012.

While Holmes was opposed to her daughter growing up with Scientology doctrines, his current beau seemed unconcerned. “She adores Tom and has decided to devote herself in the church. It’s entirely of her own decision, which has taken his breath away.”
