All About Elsina Khayrova
Russian by birth, Elsina Khayrova currently lives in London as a British citizen. Her father, Rinat Khayrova, is a member of the Russian Military Police. A former model by profession, Khayrova has worked for some prominent brands including Graff. She however left modelling some years back. It is unclear what she currently does.
Khayrova was married to Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov but the couple got divorced in 2022. She shares two children with her ex-husband and is seemingly close to them. In an Instagram post, the ex-model paid an Instagram birthday tribute to her daughter Eva in September this year.
Khayrova reportedly shared an incredible multimillion-dollar property portfolio with mansions in Surrey and London with her ex-husband. She also owned luxurious cars, jewelry, art, and houses in Cyprus and Dubai, according to South China Morning Post.
Her ex-husband Dmitry recently spoke to the Daily Mail, asserting that Khayrova is extremely high maintenance and the person dating her “should keep his eyes and wallet wide open”.
“Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious tastes,” he said. “Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open,” he said.

How Did Tom Cruise And Elsina Khayrova Meet?
Tom Cruise met Khayrova in December, according to the US Weekly source. The two met through mutual friends in London’s social circles and have been a thing for “a while now”.
Talking about how the two initially crossed paths, the source said, “Tom’s become a popular figure in London among the well-heeled, elite types. What started as a basic friendship quickly turned into something more special.”
The couple has been described as “very happy” with each other, while they also see long-term potential in their relationship. “They’re very happy. And Tom’s extremely confident about it working out for the long term,” an insider source was quoted as saying by US Weekly.
The source also said that the duo frequents Tom’s favorite private members’ club in London for afternoon tea outings, and indulge in extravagant gourmet dinners across London.
Cruise’s eldest children from his ex-wife Nicole Kidman, Isabella and Connor, have also reportedly given a green flag to Cruise’s relationship with Khayrova. “Isabella and Connor think Elsina is great and are so happy to see that their dad has love in his life again,” the source said.
