Tom Cruise And Elsina Khayrova Breakup

Cruise’s previous relationship with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova has reportedly ended in an amicable split. As per a report from The Sun, the actor has “cooled off the romance.” Interestingly, he wants to remain pals with Khayrova since they reside 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. There are no hard feelings between them, and for Tom, their relationship simply ran its course.”

Another source shared with Page Six that the ex-couple’s breakup happened just days after the actor met Khayrova’s children. She has two kids whom she shares with her ex-husband, Russian oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov.

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.”

It seems like there are still so many differences between Cruise and Khayrova despite being affluent in life. The latter is evidently fond of the luxurious things, something her ex-husband recalled without affection. The actor would have to keep up with the socialite’s lifestyle.

But now that Cruise has moved on and is finding new romance in Barbaro, perhaps this time he will finally find his well-deserved happy ending. The actor has not had many serious relationships in the past apart from his previous wives.
