Los Angeles: Hollywood star Tom Cruise is reportedly dating a British girl and is getting serious about her.

The 54-year-old actor has been romancing the woman for several months. It is his first significant relationship since splitting from ex-wife Katie Holmes in 2012, reported Us magazine.

The two met for the first time in early June, when he was in London filming 'The Mummy' and soon went on a date to Bourton-on-the-Water, an idyllic village in the Cotswolds, two hours outside the city.

According to a source, Cruise is smitten by her and "they go on bike rides through the countryside. Sometimes Tom's sister would join them."

"He's serious about this relationship and wants to make it work," the source added.
