Melissa Gilbert says that she dated Tom in the early 80s before he even became “Tom Cruise.”

“Actually, when I dated him he was Tom Mapother still. It was when he first moved to Los Angeles and I think I was 16, maybe, or 17?” she said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

She added, “I did not have sex with him. We made out, but, honestly, there was no sex. He was a good kisser. But, you know, he was, like, a struggling, starving actor. I actually bought him his first set of dishes.”

While Tom and Heather Locklear were never an official couple, she did go on a date with him.

Heather said on an episode of Chelsea Lately in 2013 that she went on a date with Tom after they both auditioned for a project together.

She said, “You know in Risky Business where he does that dance in his underwear and does the splits? We were dancing at a club and he went into that. He starting doing the splits. You just kind of stand there and don’t know what to do. Do you dance around him? So, I was like, ‘I’ll just sit down and you can.’”

Heather says she believes that was the only date they went on.
