It is one of Hollywood’s strangest hook-ups, but Cher has no problem reminiscing about her relationship with Tom Cruise.
The story of the 1980s romance between the Lycra-clad songstress and the staunch Scientologist has resurfaced with Cher’s public declaration that he is in her top five list of lovers.
Cher spoke candidly to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live and in a game called “Truth or Cher”, the host asked Cher to name her all-time best lovers.
After proclaiming a lot of her lovers came in first, and with some prompting from the host, Cher opened up about her sex life.
“I’ve had the greatest lovers EVER,” she said.
When TV host Andy asked specifically where Tom Cruise would be on her list, Cher replied, “He was in the top five,” before quickly clarifying, “It’s a list, not a long list, but it’s a good list.”
Cher, 67, caused a stir when first admitting to Oprah in 2008 that she had previously been in a relationship with Tom Cruise, who is 16 years her junior.
“Aw,” Cher exclaimed when a picture of Tom was shown on the show, saying: “Well, he wasn’t a Scientologist then!”
Cohen asked if the duo had “a hot and heavy relationship,” to which Cher replied, “Well, it was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute.”
“But he’s also a great guy,” she added. “The person that I knew was a great, lovable guy.”
The singer went on to date a long list of famous men including Gene Simmons, Val Kilmer and Richie Sambora, but her love affair with Tom struck as the most surprising.
