Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise has built a reputation in Hollywood for performing dangerous stunts in his films, but it seems the 61-year-old actor has embarked on a new daring adventure in his personal life. Cruise was recently spotted getting cozy with 36-year-old British socialite Elsina Khayrova, sparking rumors that the pair are dating.

Khayrova is the ex-wife of a Russian diamond-trading oligarch and daughter of a prominent Russian MP. Sources claim Cruise met Khayrova while filming scenes for Mission Impossible 8 in London, where she resides. Cruise is said to be “besotted” with Khayrova after meeting her at a private members club.

Is Their 25-Year Age Gap an Issue?

According to Daily Mail, while some fans have raised eyebrows over their significant 25-year age difference, this wouldn’t be the largest age gap for Tom Cruise. He was previously married to actress Mimi Rogers, who was 28 years his senior.

Cruise has also faced scrutiny in the past for dating younger women, including his ex-wife Katie Holmes. However, sources say Cruise and Khayrova were “inseparable, clearly a couple” when spotted dancing closely at a recent event.

The pair reportedly danced the night away together before leaving the venue in the early hours, showing no signs of their age gap being an issue.

If the relationship rumors prove true, Khayrova would join the ranks of Cruise’s high-profile exes like Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, and Katie Holmes.

Khayrova brings political ties as the daughter of a Member of the Russian Parliament. She also has beauty queen credentials as a former Miss Europe contestant. However, Cruise has never shied away from powerful, accomplished partners before.

Several of Cruise’s former flames have award-winning acting careers of their own, including Nicole Kidman and Penélope Cruz. Khayrova may not have acting chops, but she likely runs in similar elite social circles as Cruise’s previous loves.

While some fans have been skeptical of Cruise’s latest love interest, an insider said, 

“Tom is serious about Elsina. He believes she’s ‘the one.'”

At 61, Cruise has shown no signs of slowing down his daredevil lifestyle. If his relationship with Khayrova develops into romance, it’s likely she’ll have to hold on tight for all the excitement Cruise brings to his personal life – just like his action-packed films.
