Tom Cruise::Mimi Nicole & Katie Their Birth Orders

Tom has been in the news again and unfortunately it was

about his personal life and his divorce from Katie Holmes. 

This was his third marriage and it may be time to take a

look at his and his former wife’s birth orders to understand

his marriages.

Tom’s Birth Order

Tom was born July 3, 1962 the third and only boy in his

family.  Everyone was close in age:

Lee Ann   #1   1959

Marian      #2   1961

Tom         #3   1962

Cass        #4    1963

Being the only boy Tom would be expected to act like a

firstborn. He was also nurtured by his sisters something

he would look for in a mate. He is still close to his sisters

and he has said he could live with any of them. His need

to act like a firstborn was something he may have felt

necessary as his single mother raised the family. Tom was

twelve years old when his mother divorced. This attempt

to be the man of the house was only an act as his  number

three birth order makes him a very sensitive person and

not one to give orders. Threes see the world and act very

differently than a firstborn.  Third borns are very open to

new ideas and will follow them with a religious zeal.  This

could be the case with his adoption of Scientology. His first

wife Mimi Rogers said Tom was thinking of becoming a

monk. When he was a student at a Franciscan seminary he

aspired to become a Catholic priest. This fits perfectly with

the world view of a number three and their outreach to

humanity. Laughing on the outside but crying on the inside

would be Tom’s way of coping.  He will try not to show he

has been hurt but his sensitivity is just below the surface.

His ideal match would be a #1, #2 or #4 that had a #3 brother,

which is his birth order.

Wife #1 Mimi Rogers

Mimi was born in 1952 making her six years older than Tom.

She is a firstborn with a younger brother.  This match was good

for Tom as Mimi matched the birth order of his older sister

Lee Ann also a firstborn.  Unfortunately Mimi did not have a

number three brother so this marriage was difficult for her

to understand Tom. She is credited for introducing Tom to

Scientology.  Their marriage lasted three years.

Wife #2 Nicole Kidman

Nicole was born in 1967, the older of two girls.  Her sister

Antonia was born three years later in 1970. This makes the

second firstborn that Tom married, he again matched the

childhood birth order of his older sister Lee Ann. Maybe

he had the feeling that Nicole would be taking care of him

like his older sister.  The problem here is that Nicole had no

brothers in her family and no one in the third birth order

position.  This would have made it difficult for her to

understand Tom.  This marriage lasted 11 years and they

adopted two children. It was during this time that rumors

circulated that the marriage was a cover up for Tom’s

homosexuality. They successfully sued the The Star on

this issue. Maybe his posing like a dominate first born

but acting like a sensitive thridborn gave the wrong

impression?

Wife #3 Katie Holmes

Katie was born in 1978 the fifth and last child in her family.

She carries a double birth order since there is a five year

gap between the first three children and the last two.

This is what the birth orders look like in her family.

Tamera                   #1 1968

Holly Ann               #2  1969

Martin Joseph Jr.    #3  1970

           5yr Gap

Nancy Kay           #4/1 1975

Katie                    #5/2 = #1/2  1978

Katie becomes a #1/2 Double Birth order as the fifth born

starts the birth order sequence again. You might say a #5 is

a gentle # 1. She gains the #2 birth order as she is the second

one in the second group of children. A person with this type

of Double Birth order vacillates between the two personalities.

Giving orders like a firstborn but then not wanting to be told

what to do like a second born. You might say that Tom saw

his two older sisters in Katie. She may have seen Tom as she

did her older brother Martin. Martin like Tom is a third born

with two older sisters. Tom matches her family birth order in

number and gender perfectly. This was the first marriage for

Tom to someone who could really understand him.  Maybe

that is why he was so excited, jumping on Oprah’s couch 

when he announced his marriage to Katie. He had finally found

his “soul” mate, but did he? Unfortunately Katie carries two 

birth orders so Tom would never be sure who she was.  He 

was totally blindsided when served with divorce papers. This 

marriage lasted six years.

The Future Mrs. Cruise

I hope this blog information gets to Tom so that his next 

marriage will be his last.  He almost got it right this time so 

next time should be the charm.  As a reader check your own 

birth order and that of your mate or significant other and see 

if you have a perfect match. You can read more about Double
