Tom Cruise seems to have taken his relationship with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova up a notch, as recent reports indicate that the Top Gun: Maverick star, 61, has met her two children.
While earlier reports suggested that the duo were involved romantically but preferred to keep their relationship out of the public eye, it now appears that their love affair is flourishing.
Tom Cruise Is Taking His Relationship With Elsina Khayrova To The Next Level, According To Insiders
Sources who recently spoke with Page Six revealed that Cruise initially encountered Khayrova, 36, at a lavish party held at his opulent Hyde Park penthouse in London. Following this introduction, the Eyes Wide Shut alum and former model reportedly developed a strong bond and have purportedly entered into an exclusive relationship, according to an individual "close to" the couple.
"It's well known within Elsina's circle that she and Tom are now an item," an insider just dished to Page Six. "They've grown very close over the past few weeks but take a lot of care not to be photographed together because they want to maintain their privacy."
The source added: "Tom has been staying the night at Elsina's apartment, which, as you can imagine, is a very beautiful place. They enjoy hanging out together and, despite their wealth, do a lot of the things that normal couples do."
Although Cruise and Khayrova have not yet publicly confirmed their romantic relationship, all indications suggest that it is genuine. As another insider told Us Weekly for its issue last month: "They’re both happy in London and settled with a well-heeled social circle, all of whom believe it’s a great match." Cruise was also described to be "very relaxed and content with his life right now."
According to the informant, despite being separated by a considerable age gap of 25 years, Cruise and Khayrova share several commonalities. "They can sit and talk for hours about world affairs, arts and culture, history [and] sports," the tipster said, noting that Cruise is fascinated by Khayrova's culture.
As the daughter of a prominent Russian politician (Rinat Khayrov), an erstwhile fashion model, and the ex-partner of oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov, Khayrova has been embroiled in multiple legal and financial controversies over time.
Nevertheless, she is widely renowned for her exquisite fashion photoshoots and glamorous presence at upscale social events, all of which are meticulously chronicled on her social media handles.
Prior to getting cozy with Khayrova, Cruise had been married three times previously: first to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, then to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001, and finally to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012.
Though Cruise has been romantically linked to various celebrities throughout his career, his most recent confirmed relationship was with Holmes. With Kidman, Cruise shares daughter Isabella, 30, and son Connor, 28. The War of the Worlds actor also shares daughter Suri, 17, with Holmes.
