According to News.com.au, the 'Top Gun' actor was seen attending a party with 36-year-old Elsina Khayrovaon on December 9 in Mayfair. Reports suggested that the duo attended the event as a couple, almost inseparable from each other during the entirety of the event. A guest at the Mayfair party reported seeing them exchanging affectionate gestures, and dancing before leaving the venue together.
The guest said, ''They were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her.'' ''Cruise was very friendly – he kept being asked for pictures and politely declining. Eventually, the DJ had to announce in Russian that Mr Cruise didn't want any photos,'' the source added.
