Tom Cruise is already thinking about his ‘long term’ future with rumored new partner Elsina Khayrova, it has been claimed.
The Mission: Impossible actor, 61, was linked to the Russian socialite earlier this month, after they were spotted getting very close on a dancefloor.
While they have yet to go public with their relationship, the 36-year-old’s ex-husband issued a warning to the Hollywood star over their spark.
An insider has since claimed that Tom didn’t want to rush into anything, but is said to be ‘very confident’ in their bond.
‘They’re very happy,’ they said. ‘And Tom’s extremely confident about it working out for the long term.
‘They’ve hung out at Tom’s favorite private members club and regularly enjoy afternoon tea and gourmet dinners out in London.

‘He wanted to take his time and not rush into any relationships just for the sake of it.’
‘What started as a basic friendship quickly turned into something more special.’
Although they have been keeping things low-key so far, the source revealed that Tom’s eldest children, Isabella and Connor – who he shares with Nicole Kidman – have given Elsina their blessing.
According to the insider, they believe ‘Elsina is great and are so happy to see that their dad has love in his life again.

‘Tom is going into 2024 totally energized, excited and feeling healthier and happier than he has in years,’ they added to Us Weekly. ‘This is a very special time for him, and having a serious relationship in his life that he can build on is the icing on the cake.’
Tom was previously married to Nicole for over a decade before their divorce was finalized in 2001 – and he then tied the knot with Katie Holmes in 2006.
The pair, who share daughter Suri, eventually went their separate ways in 2012.

While Elsina, daughter of Russian MP Rinat Khayrov, was married to multi-millionaire diamond and mining tycoon Dmitry Tsvetkov, who has spoken out over their romance, warning the Top Gun actor of her expensive taste.
‘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 taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open,’ the oligarch told the Daily Mail.
Despite the warning, Dmitry – who was married to Elsina for 11 years – insisted that he’s ‘happy’ for his former spouse and wanted to ‘wish her all the best.’
