The actor has been living in Britain for the last five years while he filmed projects including his latest Mission: Impossible film and reportedly spent a fortune buying a penthouse in central London.
But the 62-year-old Top Gun star is now said to be moving back to his native US as filming has wrapped on Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning II.
"Tom has made the UK his home for five years and he absolutely loves it here," a source told The Sun.
"There is no doubt he'll be back at some point when he greases the wheels for the next Mission: Impossible outing, but Tom is looking forward to returning to the US to be closer to his son Connor and his friends.
"The transformation has been pretty incredible – England has done him and his wider reputation the world of good, and he's so much happier for it."
Cruise is said to have said farewell to his loyal British film crew before recently boarding his helicopter at Battersea to head back to the US.
The actor used Britain as his base for the filming of Dead Reckoning parts one and two.
But Cruise is literally heading into a storm with his move as the US has been battered by Hurricane Milton in the last week.
The actor's large apartment complex in Clearwater, Florida, is expected to be in the eye of the storm and the Mail Online reported Cruise was spotted in London "sporting a concerned look amid the news of Milton's destructive power".
More than 100 homes were destroyed in St Lucie County by Hurricane Milton and millions of terrified Florida residents have evacuated.
Cruise has owned his apartment in Florida since 2016 and is said to have been "happy" there due to its proximity to the international headquarters for Scientology.
