Tom Cruise, aged 61, remains one of Hollywood’s most talked-about leading men. Rumors swirl about a possible new romance. While he hasn’t publicly confirmed anything, insiders suggest a budding relationship with Elsina Khayrova, a 36-year-old figure connected to prominent political and business circles. Reports from entertainment media indicate that she is the daughter of former State Duma deputy Rinat Khayrov and ex-wife of entrepreneur Dmitry Tsvetkov.
The gossip gained momentum after the pair reportedly attended a charity gala supporting the London Air Ambulance Service at the Raffles Hotel in London. They arrived separately and were not photographed together during the event, which fueled speculation among observers. It is also claimed that Cruise has spent time at Khayrova’s residence in Knightsbridge, a well-known upscale district in central London.
According to one source close to the situation, Khayrova’s close circle believes the two are now dating. They have grown closer in recent weeks but are making a conscious effort to avoid public appearances together to protect their privacy.
A British tabloid reported the possibility of a relationship as far back as December 2023. Khayrova’s father initially denied the rumors, and in a subsequent statement to a social media news outlet, he suggested that rumors about his daughter’s personal life were unfounded and that he had not discussed the matter with her. The situation illustrates how celebrity romance chatter can unfold across multiple outlets and social channels.

The first notable relationship in Cruise’s public life was with actress Melissa Gilbert, a connection from the early 1980s.

The relationship, by her account, remained discreet and did not progress beyond a limited romance.
