Hollywood star spotted getting close at Elite London Mayfair party
Embed from Getty ImagesRenowned Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, 61, seems to have found a new love interest in Russian socialite Eslina Khayrova, 36, just months after her highly publicized divorce from a diamond trading oligarch. The Mission Impossible actor and the former model were reportedly “inseparable” at an exclusive London Mayfair party, leaving onlookers describing Cruise as “besotted” with his dance partner.
Eslina, the daughter of a Russian MP and ex-wife of Dmitry Tsetkov, a successful diamond tycoon, was seen spending most of the night dancing with Cruise. A source revealed to Mail Online, “They were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her.” The insider added, “He spent most of the night dancing with Ms. Khayrova, but at one point he was just throwing himself around in the middle of a group of women.”
The Russian socialite, who was previously married to Tsetkov, made headlines during their bitter divorce last summer. She shared a £22 million home in Surrey with her ex-husband, and during the divorce proceedings, allegations of hiding assets, including a lavish £1 million bag collection, emerged. Eslina was ordered to pay £117,000 to a company for the installation of fountains at her home.
Defending her actions, Khayrova claimed that Tsetkov was the one responsible and was on the “Kremlin’s most-wanted list.”
This reported romance with Eslina comes after Cruise’s very public divorce from actress Katie Holmes 15 years ago. Though briefly linked to his Mission Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell, Cruise’s relationship status remained unconfirmed. The actor has previously expressed his love for England and its people, spending his 60th birthday in the Cotswolds with famous friends such as Gordon Ramsay and David Beckham.
Cruise, who has reportedly chosen Bromley in London as his UK base, is said to enjoy the English culture and sees his new home as a rural retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. An insider close to the actor shared, “He’s American, but he has spent so much time here and has English heritage. Tom has only recently moved to this new home, which feels like it’s practically in the countryside. He sees it as his rural bolt-hole, away from the hustle and bustle of London where he had been before.” As Cruise embarks on this new chapter of his personal life, fans are keen to see how this romance unfolds.
