Tom Cruise has reportedly decided to take a step back in his relationship with Elsina Khayrova, a Russian socialite, as things were moving too fast for his liking. Despite cooling things down, the two are said to still be in touch. Sources suggest that Cruise prefers to take things slow in relationships due to past experiences with ex-partners.
The decision to slow things down comes after reports surfaced that Khayrova had become Cruise's official girlfriend and that he had even met her children. However, sources indicate that the door is not completely closed on their relationship, with some suggesting that Cruise may still want to remain friends.
The couple was first linked romantically in December after being spotted together at a party in London. Since then, they have been spending a significant amount of time together. However, recent reports suggest that their relationship has run its course, with no hard feelings between them.
Cruise and Khayrova met at one of Cruise's exclusive Sunday tea parties in his Hyde Park penthouse, where he feels more comfortable than in Los Angeles. Cruise has been hosting these gatherings for an elite crowd in London, where he reportedly feels more at ease.
In June 2022, it was reported that Cruise was looking for apartments in the UK after developing a fondness for London. The couple also attended the London Air Ambulance gala earlier this month, where they were guests alongside Prince William.
Khayrova recently filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov, with whom she shares two children. Their split in 2020 involved a significant amount of assets, including multiple properties, luxury cars, jewelry, and valuable artwork.
Cruise, who has been previously married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes, shares children with Kidman and Holmes. He has two children with Kidman and a daughter with Holmes.
