Did Tom Cruise Rent Out a Whole Restaurant Floor?

Tom Cruise has been low-key about his dating life since his 2012 divorce from ex-wife Katie Holmes, but it seems that love is in the air once again for the 'Mission Impossible' star. Recently spotted in London, Cruise was accompanied by his latest flame, Elsina Khayrova, the daughter of a Russian MP, a socialite, and a former model.

According to eyewitnesses, the duo enjoyed a successful outing at one of London's most exclusive restaurants, Novikov, situated in the upscale Mayfair. Cruise went all out, reserving an entire floor to ensure privacy from prying eyes. The restaurant, owned by Arkady Novikov, boasts a blend of Asian and Italian cuisine and happens to be one of Cruise's favourite haunts.

The actor spared no expense, splurging over $500 on a sumptuous feast of lobster, sushi, seafood, and alcohol-free mocktails. Witnesses noted the palpable connection between Cruise and Khayrova, with Cruise seemingly captivated by every word from his companion.

The atmosphere was intimate, with the pair physically close throughout the evening. Elsina, adorned in an extravagant sparkly dress and a black fur coat, appeared to thoroughly enjoy herself.

Despite the enchanting evening, Cruise's bodyguard had to intervene when a restaurant staff member sought a photo with the star. Undeterred, Cruise displayed his generosity by leaving a £100 tip for the staff before discreetly exiting through a side door into a waiting getaway car with Elsina.

Post-date reports suggest that the couple left the venue with smiles, indicating a positive outcome. Khayrova, a former model with a penchant for the finer things in life, comes from a prestigious background as the daughter of Russian politician Shamil Khayrova and the ex-wife of Russian diamond trader Dmitry Svetkov. Cruise, it seems, passed the test with flying colours.

Rumours of their budding romance had surfaced days before their official date, with the pair seen together at a party in Grosvenor's Square. Attendees at the event described them as "inseparable" and a confirmed couple. Cruise and Khayrova danced the night away, although the actor had to contend with photo requests, prompting the DJ to intervene and let the star enjoy the festivities.

This new romantic chapter for Cruise follows previous rumours linking him to Shakira and Mission Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell. However, this time, there's clear confirmation of Cruise being genuinely smitten with Elsina Khayrova.
