Over the years, her personal life, especially her marriages, has been a topic of public interest. Let’s take a look at Mimi Rogers’s marriages over the years.

Jim Rogers

Mimi Rogers has been married 3 times in her life. Her first marriage was on August 21, 1976, to Jim Rogers. Not much is known about this marriage, as it happened before she became an actress. The marriage lasted for 4 years, and the couple eventually divorced in 1980. Jim Rogers was a counselor in the Church of Scientology. They got married on August 21, 1976, and together, they opened a Scientology auditing center called the Scientology Enhancement Centre in Sherman Oaks, California. However, she continued to use the last name "Rogers" professionally, even after their separation.

Tom Cruise

Her second and most famous marriage was to Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. The couple got married on May 9, 1987. At the time, Cruise was an up-and-coming actor, and their relationship quickly attracted media attention. Rogers is believed to have introduced Cruise to Scientology, a religion in which he later became deeply involved. However, their marriage faced difficulties, and they got divorced in 1990 after being together for 3 years. According to Daily Mail, in a joint announcement about their separation, they said, 'While there have been positive aspects to our marriage, there were some issues which could not be resolved even after working on them for a period of time.'

Following their split, Rogers described their relationship as having "different priorities". Their divorce was finalized in February 1990, and as settlement, she took $4 million. In an interview with Los Angeles Times, she said, “Being married to Tom Cruise didn’t hurt my career, but it certainly didn’t help it. Nobody hires you because you’re married to somebody famous- in fact, I think you’re tested a little extra because of it. The only way that marriage might’ve affected my career is that if you decide your marriage is your first priority, then your career will suffer--had I been unmarried and focused on my career, maybe things would’ve gone faster.”

Chris Ciaffa

Mimi Rogers is currently married to Chris Ciaffa. The couple met in the early 1990s and built a strong relationship before getting married. They met on the set of the made-for-cable film Fourth Story, directed by Ivan Passer.

Chris Ciaffa has worked in the film industry for many years. Ciaffa is a film producer and assistant director contributing to movies like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989), The Devil’s Arithmetic (1999), Harlan County War (2000), My Horrible Year! (2001), and Unstoppable (2010). He has also been involved in TV projects as a producer.

Mimi and Chris have two children together, a daughter named Lucy Ciaffa and a son named Charlie Ciaffa. In an interview with Closer Weekly, she shared how proud she is of her family. She said, “I guess in life, I would have to say my family. I’m very happy with my two children. My husband and I have done a good job with them.”

In the same interview, she talked about her daughter's profession. She said, “Sort of tangentially, my daughter, Lucy, happens to work for Amazon Studios! She works in the comedy series department. That’s always my big joke at Bosch. We all essentially work for my daughter!”
