In the new Mission: Impossible film, Ethan Hunt is once again saving the world (for the last time, allegedly!). But many viewers are asking a different question — does he still have that special someone waiting at home? Some fans may have even forgotten that in the third instalment of the franchise, Hunt actually tied the knot with an ordinary nurse named Julia.
They had a modest wedding, but their peaceful life didn’t last long — fate had other plans. In the fourth film, audiences faced an emotional twist: Cruise’s character became a widower. But Julia wasn’t dead — her "death" was a clever ruse orchestrated by Ethan to protect her.
However, even the strongest love can’t survive a life lived in the shadows. The two parted ways to give each other a chance at normalcy. Later, Hunt developed a bond with Ilsa Faust — a relationship built on mutual respect and an understanding of their shared dangers. Eventually, Ethan crossed paths with Julia once more, discovering she had remarried a fellow doctor while in hiding from villains.
