Connor Cruise and his new (tall) Girlfriend...

She's quite a catch! Meet the girlfriend of Tom Cruise's son Connor - a sexy blonde deep sea fishing expert with a wild side and a mugshot to prove it

Connor Cruise is dating a blonde bombshell with a wild side, sources tell DailyMail.com.

The 22-year-old son of Tom Cruise is in a relationship with Phylicia Bugna, a 26-year-old surfer and fishing expert from his adopted home of Clearwater, Florida.

The pair have been seeing each other for nearly a year after she was introduced to the megastar's son while they were in deep sea fishing at the competitive with the team Angler 360, based in Clearwater.

As seen in these pictures, Phylicia isn't shy about showing off her assets and her social media is full of sexy snaps of herself with friends on exclusive yachts, including Connor's, which is a $500,000 deep sea fishing boat called Yellow Fin.

But unlike Connor, who practices Scientology like his father, Phylicia is not a Scientologist.

Even though she's grown up all her life just a mile away from the Scientology Headquarters in Clearwater, Phylicia shies away from the religion. Her parents Kim Orris Bugna and Robert Bugna, along with her only sibling Matt also do not practice Scientology.

The stunner has a bit of a wild streak, already racking up eight traffic offenses. And she was arrested for battery seven years ago - in May 2010 - and had her mugshot taken. She was subsequently cleared before the case came to trial.

She was also ticketed for careless driving and running a red light. She's been ordered to take two defensive driving courses.

Her last offense was on May 19 for speeding;she owes a $256 fine to Pinellas County Court.

While Connor's dad Tom is Hollywood's clean-cut superstar, renowned for rarely taking a drink or ever smoking, Connor has been a serious smoker since his teens and is a moderately famous DJ on the club party circuit.

While Connor has regularly been spotted in Clearwater going to the Church's $145 million Flag Building, also known as the 'Super Powers' Building, where Scientology members can take courses to give them special abilities, Scientology records show he's barely done any courses.

According to the website thetruthaboutscientology.com, he's only completed one course in December 2010 on 'Competence and Leadership'.

Connor is clearly his own man with a mind of his own. When Caitlyn Jenner won the approval of the public after her transgender surgery, he took to Twitter saying: 'Don't get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don't let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously…There are so many more important things that should be talked about…'

In 2013, Alanna Masters father, Australian rugby league star Joe Reaiche, 57, spoke out to the Daily Mail against Connor when the pair were romantically connected, saying he was 'worst person' for Alanna to become close to.


He said: 'If there is any chance that Alanna is connected to Connor, he is the worst person for her to be around. The more she's around him, the deeper into the church she goes.'

Two years ago, Connor formed a deep friendship with fellow Scientologist Kirstie Alley's daughter Lillie Parker after her childhood sweetheart and fiancee Nick Trela was killed in a motorcycle accident last November. Lillie called Connor her 'best friend' and the pair met up in New York and Los Angeles.

Wow, he looks TOTALLY different from the last time I seen him.
