Star’s sources spill all on the young man Tom Cruise groomed as a son to follow in his footsteps.
Tom Cruise has wielded influence over both Hollywood and the Church of Scientology for decades; but Star can reveal that a secret family heartbreak has left him feeling utterly powerless. A source reports that Tom, 56, was secretly grooming a boyfriend of his daughter Isabella to become a high-ranking officer with the church — until their 2013 breakup left the star devastated. And the source claims he’s been reeling from the loss ever since.
The source says longtime church devotee Eddie Frencher was living with Isabella, during which time “Tom got to know him very well and embraced him as one of the family.” Their sudden split, says the source, left Tom “with the sense that Eddie is the man who got away.”
