Tom Cruise, 61, ‘SPLITS from’ Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, 36: Mission Impossible star and billionaire oligarch’s ex-wife ‘go separate ways – just DAYS after he met her kids’
Tom Cruise has reportedly split from his Russian socialite girlfriend Elsina Khayrova just days after meeting her kids.
The Top Gun actor, 61, and Elsina, 36, who is the ex-wife of oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov, are first believed to have met last December during a party in Mayfair, where they were seen canoodling.
But now reports have emerged they have parted ways, just days after he met her children.
Tom is said to have ‘cooled off the romance’ but wanted to remain friends because they live in the same apartment block in London.
‘To end things on a bad note would have been awkward if they’d bumped into each other in the lift,’ a source told The Sun.

The Top Gun actor, 61, and Elsina, 36, are first believed to have met last December during a party in Mayfair, where they were seen canoodling.
‘There are no hard feelings between them and for Tom, their relationship simply ran its course.’
Elsina has a son and daughter from her previous marriage to Russian oligarch and diamond dealer, Dimitry Tsvetkov.
Reps for Tom have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Elsina is the daughter Rinat Khayrova, a leading Russian politician who is worth an estimated £5 billion and is a close ally of President Putin.
It comes after just last week it was reported Tom was ‘growing closer’ to Elsina – and had been regularly spending nights at her swanky London apartment, friends told MailOnline.
The pair both attended a glittering gala dinner recently in support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity at the five-star Raffles Hotel where Prince William was guest of honour.
The pair arrived at the glitzy event separately but friends at the time said they had been spending more and more time together with the Hollywood actor a regular visitor to her lavish £10million apartment in Knightsbridge.
A source told MailOnline that the pair had made things official, explaining: ‘It’s well known within Elsina’s circle that she and Tom are now an item.
‘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.’

They continued: ‘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.’
The source revealed that the couple had also dined privately at a number of exclusive London restaurants and had also enjoyed strolls together through Hyde Park, while in disguise, which is close to Elsina’s home.
Elsina posted pictures and a video of herself in a stunning black evening dress while attending the London Air Ambulance Black and White gala which raised £1.2 million.
Tom was pictured chatting with Prince William who jokingly recalled his stylish fashion choice from the 2022 premiere of Top Gun: Maverick.
The Hollywood actor and Elsina are first believed to have met last December during a party in Mayfair, where they were seen canoodling.
One guest claimed: ‘They were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her.’
Elsina was previously married to Dimitry, 43, who claimed that their acrimonious three-year divorce battle cost him an astonishing £150 million.
Speaking to MailOnline after news of his ex-wife’s romance with Cruise emerged, he claimed to have spent an astonishing £10million on clothes and another £2million on handbags for her, during their tumultuous 11-year marriage.
He said: ‘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.’
But he added: ‘I’m happy for her, I wish her all the best.’
Tom was first spotted with her in December and was said to have hired out an entire floor of exclusive Mayfair eatery Novikov for the romantic meal for two.
According to The Sun, Tom, who is worth £500M, splashed out on a £500 dinner for of lobster and sushi for the couple.

Tom and Katie’s £2million wedding ceremony in November 2006 was held in the 15th-century Odescalchi castle in Italy, with opera singer Andrea Bocelli serenading, the Beckhams and J-Lo among the guests.
But rumours ‘TomKat’ was in trouble surfaced when gossip site TMZ reported the actress was unhappy by Scientology demands, including the suggestion women should give birth silently so as not to alarm the baby.
Katie filed for divorce in 2012, landing full custody of daughter Suri.
More recently in 2020 he was rumoured to be dating his Mission Impossible co-star, British actress Hayley Atwell, 41, with whom he reportedly ‘hit it off from day one’.
A source told The Sun at the time: ‘They’ve been meeting up after hours and she’s been to his London pad. They get on brilliantly and seem very happy.’
Yet they reportedly separated the next year and, last July, Hayley dismissed rumours of their relationship as ‘weird’, asking: ‘Why are things being assumed or projected on to me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?’
She is now engaged to music producer Ned Wolfgang Kelly.
