Tom Cruise, 61, reportedly splits from girlfriend, 36, after meeting her kids
Tom Cruise reportedly separated from his girlfriend just days after he met her children – but he wants to remain friends.
The 61-year-old Top Gun actor and 36-year-old Elsina Khayrova, a Russian socialite, crossed paths initially last December during a soirée in Mayfair, where eyewitnesses spotted them engaged in affectionate gestures, per the Daily Mail.However, recent reports suggest that the spark between them has fizzled out, with Tom apparently deciding to “cool off the romance,” albeit with intentions to maintain a cordial relationship due to their shared residency in a London apartment block.This reportedly comes just days after he met her children.
A source disclosed to The Sun: “To end things on a bad note would have been awkward if they’d bumped into each other in the lift.”The insider added: “There are no hard feelings between them and for Tom, their relationship simply ran its course.”Elsina, who has a son and daughter from her previous marriage to oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov, hails from a prominent family background, being the daughter of Rinat Khayrova, a significant Russian politician with an estimated fortune of £5 billion, known for her close ties to President Putin.Following reports of Elsina being romantically involved with Tom, Dimitry told the Daily Mail: “Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open. I’m happy for her, I wish her all the best.”Tom and Elsina recently graced a glittering gala dinner organized in support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity at the opulent Raffles Hotel, where Prince William was the distinguished guest of honor.Despite arriving separately at the high-profile event, insiders disclosed that Tom and Elsina had been increasingly inseparable, with the Hollywood star becoming a regular fixture at her lavish £10 million abode in Knightsbridge.An insider revealed to the Daily Mail: “It’s well known within Elsina’s circle that she and Tom are now an item.” The source continued, “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.”
