Tom Cruise has been ultra-private about his personal life since his 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes. But the actor’s decision to go public with his new girlfriend, Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, seems to be a sign things are getting serious between the pair.

Now, a new report suggests that even Tom’s oldest children – Isabella and Connor Cruise, whom he shares with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman – have met and are approving of his new girlfriend.

Tom’s Adult Kids Approve Of His New Girlfriend

“[Connor and Isabella Cruise] both met her and think she’s fantastic — even if Elsina is just a few years older than they are,” a source recently said, noting that Elsina, 36, is nearly 30 years younger than Tom, 60.

“Everyone’s excited to see Tom with this loved-up glow and a spring in his step. It’s long overdue,” they added.

Tom and Elsina went public with their relationship earlier this month during an outing in London. The source says the sighting was intentional, as the couple wanted to debut their romance to the world. Tom and Elsina were apparently quietly dating a few months before the news broke.

“They hit it off, but he wanted to keep things super discreet while they first got to know each other,” the insider explained. “[Tom] 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.”

Tom Cruise Was Warned By His Girlfriend’s Ex-Husband

Even though Tom and Elsina’s relationship is new, it’s already stirred controversy. Her ex-husband, Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov, gave an interview to Daily Mail where he warned the actor that Elsina has a history of going after men with money.

“Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life,” Tsetkov told the outlet. “I’m happy for her, I wish her all the best.”

Elsina’s ex-husband alleged that her clothing and accessories collection alone costs $12 million, speaking to her taste for luxury. Tsetkov added that Cruise need to “keep his wallet wide open” to make the relationship with Khayrova work, given her “expensive and luxurious tastes,” perhaps hinting at what led to the end of their marriage.

Tsetkov, who made his fortune in diamonds and mining, was married to Elsina for more than a decade before their divorce in 2020. The exes share two children.

Despite wishing her “the best,” Tsetkov and Elsina reportedly had a contentious divorce. He claim he drained her fortune and settling their divorce cost him nearly $200 million in the end, even costing him numerous assets. As of now, the exes are barely on speaking terms despite having kids together.

“I haven’t spoken with Elsina about this because our preferred method of communication is through our lawyers,” Tsetkov continued. “She’s 36, she’s beautiful, financially independent and loves life.”

The oligarch added that it’s been weird seeing Cruise date his ex-wife, considering he always thought the actor would be the perfect choice to play him in a movie about his life.

“I told the producer that the only actor who could play me is Tom Cruise. We’re about the same height and weight and I would be honoured if that could happen,” he explained. “I couldn’t think of anyone better to play me than Tom. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to meet him one day to discuss this project.”

For now, Cruise hasn’t responded to Tsetkov’s comments nor has he publicly spoken about his reported relationship with Elsina.
