Hollywood star Tom Cruise, known for his roles in blockbuster hits like "Top Gun: Maverick," has reportedly entered a romantic relationship with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova. Sources close to the couple have disclosed that they have grown closer over recent months, with Cruise frequently visiting Khayrova's opulent Knightsbridge residence, valued at approximately $12.6 million, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The couple made headlines last week when they attended the London's Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner, fueling speculation about their relationship despite arriving separately.
However, Dmitry Tsvetkov, Khayrova's ex-husband and a prominent Russian tycoon, has offered a word of caution to Cruise in light of his own experiences. Tsvetkov, who endured a costly three-year divorce battle with Khayrova that he claims depleted £150 million (nearly $190 million) of his fortune, advised the Hollywood actor to remain vigilant.
"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," Tsvetkov stated, wishing Khayrova well in her new relationship.
Tsvetkov's marriage with Khayrova spanned 11 years, during which he alleges to have lavished millions on her, including almost $13 million on clothing and $2.5 million on handbags. Their divorce proceedings laid bare the couple's extravagant lifestyle, including their ownership of multiple high-value properties across London, Cyprus, and Dubai, as well as Tsvetkov's impressive art collection and luxury car fleet.
Khayrova, identified as the daughter of Rinat Khayrov, a Russian parliament member from President Vladimir Putin's ruling party, has maintained a low profile amidst the swirling rumors about her relationship with Cruise. The couple has reportedly taken steps to avoid being photographed together, opting instead for private dinners and discreet outings.
The relationship between Cruise and Khayrova comes amid Cruise's storied personal life, which includes three previous marriages and divorces. Despite Tsvetkov's cautionary remarks, Cruise and Khayrova appear to be enjoying each other's company, engaging in typical couple activities away from the public eye.
As the relationship unfolds, the advice from Khayrova's ex-husband looms large, serving as a reminder of the complexities that accompany high-profile romances, especially when they intersect with the world of international high society. Cruise, a veteran of the entertainment industry, finds himself once again at the center of media attention, not for his cinematic achievements, but for his personal life and the intriguing dynamics of his latest romantic endeavor.
