Despite Tom Cruise seemingly being head over heels for Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, it seems he may have already moved on. Back in Dec 2023, he and Kharyova started making headlines for their romance, which lasted until March 2024 when he allegedly proposed to her and she said “no.” Many thought he’d be off the dating market for some time, or at least laying low, but nope! Insiders claim that he has his eyes on a new gal: his co-star Monica Barbaro. 

Insiders alleged to InTouch Weekly that Cruise is allegedly hoping for a romance to bloom between him and his Top Gun: Maverick co-star. “Tom thinks she’s stunningly beautiful. He’d like to explore a relationship with her.”

They added, “People around Tom believe they’re a great match. But he genuinely wants her to succeed.”

And while Barbaro is reportedly “flattered,” it may not happen as soon as Cruise wants. The source added, “She wants to prove that she’s deserving of the role.”

Not much else is known about this potential romance, but we do know that Barbaro played Lt. Natasha ‘Phoenix’ Trace in the film, which was probably where they met. The 33-year-old star is also a talented actress and dancer who has appeared in projects like Stumptown, The Good Cop, and The Cathedral.

While we’re getting whiplash from Cruise’s recent, reported dating, maybe this one will bloom into something more?! We still can’t believe his romance with Kharykova ended so quickly, especially since it seemed like a fourth marriage was in store for him. But it’s shown that Cruise has a thing for his co-stars, so this may end up being a better fit. Only time will tell.
