Tom Cruise and his girlfriend, Elsina Khayrova, have decided to part ways shortly after introducing their romance.
“They are not compatible and realize they are not compatible romantically,” revealed an exclusive source in the latest edition of Us Weekly, available now.
According to insiders, Khayrova, 36, was the one to end their relationship. “There’s no animosity between them,” the source told us. “They just had different ideas about what their relationship would be.”
The 61-year-old actor and the 36-year-old Russian socialite were first seen cozying up to each other at a party in December 2023 in Grosvenor Square, London, though an exclusive source informed us at the time that the couple had been dating “for a while.”
“They were very happy,” the insider added. “And Tom was very confident it would work out long-term. … They often spent time at Tom’s favorite private members’ club and regularly enjoyed afternoon teas and lavish dinners in London.”
The two met through mutual friends in the city’s social circles. “What started as a regular friendship quickly turned into something more special,” said the source.
Cruise’s eldest children, Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29 — whom he shares with former wife Nicole Kidman — found Khayrova “great and were very happy to see their father have love in his life again,” said the insider, revealing that Cruise was waiting to pursue romance until he found the right person. “He wants to take his time and not rush into any relationships just because of it.”
As for Khayrova, she “was very supportive of Tom and his work” and knew that he had “a lot of demands and obligations” on his plate.
In February, a second source told us that Cruise was “very relaxed and content” with Khayrova. “They’re both happy in London and have settled into a well-established social circle, all of whom believe it’s a great match.”
Despite a 25-year age gap between them, they shared many similarities, with sources revealing they “sat and talked for hours about world affairs, art and culture, history [and] sports.” The source also noted that Cruise found “Khayrova’s travels and heritage fascinating” and considered her “very intelligent.”
At the time, Cruise and Khayrova were solid, with the source hinting that serious commitment could be in their future. “Tom has never ruled out getting married again; it’s just that the circumstances haven’t been right yet,” said the insider, adding that they were “very happy together.”
Cruise was previously married to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, to Kidman, 56, from 1990 to 2001, and to Katie Holmes — with whom he has a daughter — from 2006 to 2012. Meanwhile, Khayrova filed for divorce from Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov in 2022 after separating two years prior. The former couple, who have two children together, have since finalized the process.
