Since coming to screens everywhere in the 80s and starring in everything from The Outsiders to Top Gun to what feels like hundreds of Mission Impossible movies, the 61-year-old has been a heartthrob for a very long time.

One of his first public romances was with Rebecca De Mornay, his co-star in the film Risky Business. Though he had previously been linked to Heather Locklear and Melissa Gilbert, US Weekly reports that those were just flings compared to the couple’s two-year relationship.

The pair reportedly began dating in 1983 until they broke up somewhere around 1985, proving that on-screen chemistry can’t last forever.
