Katie who? Meet Tom Cruise's new gal pal: a gorgeous 26-year-old restaurant manager from Queens!

Cynthia Jorge, at right, is reportedly Tom Cruise's new leading lady after a sizzling date at Manhattan's Le Baron.

Tom Cruise may have cast a new co-star for the romantic drama that is his life â€" a normal Queens babe.

Less than six months after his divorce from Katie Holmes, the 50-year-old “Jack Reacher” star had a passionate date with Cynthia Jorge, a brunette Fresh Meadows native half his age, including some dirty dancing at the trendy Mulberry St. club, Le Baron.

The hookup came two days after Jorge engaged in a little risky business of her own, slipping her card to Cruise after a lunch at Beauty & Essex, the lower East Side restaurant she manages, according to In Touch.

"He was mesmerized by Cynthia," a witness to the Dec. 18 salsa dance interlude told In Touch magazine, which broke the story. "She had her hair in a bun, wore tight black pants and looked gorgeous.

“It was obvious, he's enamored with this woman."

Cruise’s new leading lady is also a freelance publicist.

“I don’t know what to say. What would you say if you're cousin was dating Tom Cruise?” said her cousin Pietro Jorge, 25, after being informed of the report.

Jorge wouldn’t comment on the relationship, but said Cruise is the lucky one: “She's nice. She's outgoing. She's a people person," he said.

The 2008 Boston University graduate has made a name for herself in a few short years in New York City’s culinary world.

“As a New Yorker, I have learned that in order to succeed, one must work fast, strike hard and make every move count,” she wrote on her Linked In profile.

Jorge previously worked at Benvenuti Public Relations firm and as the marketing director at Benjamin’s Steakhouse in midtown.

“She was a hard worker," said a floor manager at Benjamin’s.

Six months ago, she told Joonbug.com she liked her job at Benjamin’s because she enjoyed “meeting new people, from CEOs to celebrities to just really interesting people in the industry.”

And, apparently, dating them, too. And in the topsy-turvy world of silver screen romances, it’s not uncommon for stars to connect with civilians. Indeed, Matt Damon dated and later married a bartender he met in Miami.

“We have seen this with a lot of people in Hollywood where they say, ‘Maybe it’s better if I date someone who’s not famous,’” In Touch Weekly senior editor Dorothy Cascerceri told the News.

“She’s just an average kind of girl from Queens, but she’s beautiful and Tom Cruise seems to be very taken by her.”

It had been a rough year off screen for Cruise, who had been reportedly blindsided and “devastated” by Holmes’ divorce filing in June - his third strike after failed marriages to Nicole Kidman and Mimi Rogers.

“Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy,” Cruise’s rep said in a statement to the Daily News at the time.

His 34-year-old ex, who has moved to Manhattan, ended up with full custody of their 7-year-old daughter Suri.

Then an explosive cover story surfaced in the October issue of Vanity Fair, claiming the Church of Scientology had auditioned Iranian-American actress Nazanin Boniadi to be his girlfriend before his courtship with Holmes.

Cruise’s luck with the ladies, however, may finally be changing.

“People love these kind of stories because it gives them hope that it could happen to them. It’s like winning the lottery,” says Cascerceri.
