Tom Cruise apparently intended to keep his connection with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova under wraps.

According to an insider at OK! Magazine, “They hit it off, but he wanted to keep things super discreet while they first got to know each other.”

For a romantic date night with his lady love, the Hollywood A-lister recently leased a whole floor at one of London’s most elite restaurants.

The insider continued, “he made a big point of telling everyone after the London party how liberating and wonderful it was to have gotten this out in the open.”

“Everyone’s excited to see Tom with this loved-up glow and a spring in his step. It’s long overdue,” one source added.

Furthermore, the Top Gun actor’s older children, Isabella, 30, and Connor, 28, whom he shares with Nicole Kidman, were pleased with their father’s new love life.

According to one of the sources, “they both met her and think she’s fantastic — even if Elsina is just a few years older than they are.”

Elsina, on the other hand, was previously married to Russian businessman Dmitry Tsetkov, with whom she has two children.
