Tom Cruise is reportedly romancing stunning Latino actress Sofia Vergara.

The "Mission Impossible" star is said to have been on a string of dates with the beauty since meeting her two months ago, reported the Femalefirst portal.

Friends say Cruise--who has been single since splitting from Penelope Cruz last year--is "enchanted" by the Latina beauty.

"Sofia has lots of male Latino admirers and pictures of her on the Internet are hugely popular," a source was quoted as saying.

"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 match."

Vergara, 32, has appeared in several small Hollywood roles, but is a bigger star in South America.

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 in March last year.
