Tom Cruise dating Russian socialite Elsina Herova, 25 years his junior: Report

Actor Tom Cruise recently confirmed his relationship with Russian socialite Elsina Khairova. Cruise, 61, and Kairova, 36, have officially become a couple, the Daily Mail quoted sources as saying. The two have long kept their relationship low-key, preferring to keep it out of the public eye. Despite their efforts to avoid the paparazzi, insiders revealed that Cruise spent a lot of time with Heilova, engaging in typical couple activities despite their wealthy status. Cruise and Kairova reportedly attended a charity dinner together in support of the London Air Ambulance charity, with Prince William attending as the guest of honor.

Their close friends revealed that they spent most of their time at Herova’s Knightsbridge apartment in London, often having private dinners at fine restaurants in the city. “Tom spent the night at Elsina’s apartment, which, as you can imagine, is a very beautiful place. They loved hanging out together and, despite their wealth, they did a lot of the things a normal couple would do,” per The Daily Mail quoted an insider as saying.

“It is well known in Elsina’s circles that she and Tom are now a couple. They have become very close over the past few weeks but are very careful not to be photographed together as they want to protect their privacy,” the the media added.

Rumors of their romance first surfaced after the couple was spotted at a party in London’s Mayfair district in December. Eyewitnesses said they were inseparable, making it clear that Cruise had feelings for Hairova.

“They were inseparable and clearly a couple. He seemed obsessed with her,” an eyewitness told the Daily Mail at the time.

Cruise has been married three times before, previously to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.

On the other hand, Herova, a mother of two children, separated from her ex-husband Dmitry Tsetkov in 2022. Tsetkov publicly discussed their contentious divorce in 2023, revealing the huge financial toll it took on him.

Herova is a British citizen from Russia. She is the daughter of Russian gendarme Rinat Khayrova. Hairova often shares photos of her life on social media, including heartfelt messages for her children.
