Tom Cruise channeled his Mission: Impossible character after crossing paths with new flame Elsina Khayrova.
While the pair wasn’t seen together until their December 9 outing in London, an insider said they actually first “met at a private members club around four months ago.”
Tom Cruise and Elsina Khayrova were first seen out together earlier this month.
“They hit it off, but he wanted to keep things super discreet while they first got to know each other,” the source spilled of how he and the Russian model, 36, flew under the radar.
It seems like their cover being blown was intentional, as the source claimed the movie star “made a big point of telling everyone after the London party how liberating and wonderful it was to have gotten this out in the open.”
A source said the two met at a members-only club in London.
Things are moving full steam ahead, as the source said his two eldest kids, Connor, 28, and Isabella Cruise, 30, have “both met her and think she’s fantastic — even if Elsina is just a few years older than they are.”
“Everyone’s excited to see Tom with this loved-up glow and a spring in his step. It’s long overdue,” the insider added.
It’s unclear how serious the pair’s romance is.
This is the first woman the Risky Business lead has been linked to this year other than Shakira, with whom a romance never materialized.
Though the stars were seen acting flirty at the 2023 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in May, an insider said the mom-of-two, 46, wanted things to stay platonic.
“She doesn’t want to embarrass or upset him, but there’s no attraction or romance on her part — she was just being friendly,” the source explained at the time. “She’s flattered but not interested.”
