Tom Cruise is reportedly enjoying a romance with a stunning Latino actress.

The Hollywood heartthrob is said to have been on a series of dates with beauty Sofia Vergara after meeting her two months ago, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

A source told the paper: "Sofia has lots of male Latino admirers and pictures of her on the internet are hugely popular.

"Tom has been single for a while and has been throwing himself into work. But he felt the time was right to start dating again. Hopefully they'll make a perfect a match."

Sofia has previously dated singers Enrique Iglesias and Craig David while Tom - who has two adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman - has been single since splitting from Penelope Cruz last March.

However, Tom has sparked speculation he may be set to rekindle his romance with Penelope after they arrived arm-in-arm at a pre-Oscars party.

The couple, who have remained close since their split, reportedly spent the evening together, according to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper.

A guest told the paper: "They looked very much the loving couple. They were dancing together, buying drinks and generally having a good time."

Penelope is currently dating handsome actor Matthew McConaughey amid speculation that he is set to propose.
