Tom Cruise, the well-known actor from Top Gun, is said to have broken up with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova a few days after meeting her kids. Elsina, 36, who was once married to tycoon Dimitry Tsvetkov, and the 61-year-old actor are reported to have first met at a Mayfair party in December of last year, when they were seen acting affectionately.

But according to recent rumors, Tom met Elsina’s kids, and that’s when their romance ended. According to sources, even though Tom made the decision to “cool off” the relationship, he made it clear that he still wanted to keep things amicable, particularly because they shared an apartment building in London. There have been suggestions that reaching a peaceful conclusion was preferable to possible embarrassing confrontations. Elsina is from a well-known family and has a son and a daughter from her prior marriage. Rinat Khayrova, her mother, is a well-known politician in Russia who is thought to be worth £5 billion and is a close ally of President Putin.

Tom and Elsina are said to have been becoming closer recently, with Tom reportedly spending nights at her posh London apartment. This news coincided with the breakup. Prince William was the honored guest at a gala dinner held in support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, which the couple was spotted attending together.

Sources assert that although Tom and Elsina tried to keep their relationship quiet, they had established themselves as a pair in their social group. They supposedly enjoyed one other’s company and had normal couple conversations.
Elsina’s first marriage, to diamond merchant Dimitry Tsvetkov, resulted in a public and contentious divorce. Since then, Dimitry has shared his thoughts on Elsina’s recent romance with Tom, warning him to be wary of her ostentatious ways and pricey tastes, which allegedly resulted in high costs during their marriage.

A well-known marriage to actress Katie Holmes, with whom he has a daughter named Suri, is part of Tom’s love past. Tom had dated in the past, but his recent dates with Elsina had raised questions about whether they would become long-term partners.
