Tom Cruise has decided to take his version of a leave of absence from the media after his spectacular breakup from Russian model and socialite Elsina Khayrova.
Days after Cruise and Khayrova’s romance became official; several media outlets leaked juicy and spicy tidbits about it. Page Six and the Daily Mail explained that Tom Cruise and the Russian beauty met via mutual friends.
It was revealed that the action star was going above and beyond to make a series of grand gestures towards Russian heiress Elsina Khayrova.
He rented an entire restaurant and showered her with lavish gifts. Her very talkative ex-husband spilled more of Tom Cruise’s intimate dealings with Elsina Khayrova in the press.
The former boxer embarrassed his spouse and Tom Cruise with his unsolicited revelations. Cruise and Khayrova are going their separate ways.
However, the way the romance was rolled out to the media and the constant leaks left a bitter taste in Tom Cruise’s mouth, and he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Tom Cruise, determined to protect his private life, has put a series of safeguards in place. He is resolute in keeping all aspects of his new romantic escapades under the radar.
From now on, the woman he sees will remain a mystery, and he will not publicly appear with her. A source told PEOPLE Magazine: “Tom Cruise manages to shield his private life, so if he were dating Ana, nobody would have seen them in the first place. They have been seen together because it is friendly.”
While at it, the source confirmed that the Top Gun actor is not romantically involved with Ana de Armas, so Tom Cruise has allowed himself to be photographed with her on multiple occasions as they are just friends and colleagues.
The insider revealed: “He loves her work and always wants to work with the best. He wants to see if they have chemistry or similar ideas. Everything with Tom and Ana is innocent. They are hanging out to discuss future movies they could do together. One of those ideas is the Days of Thunder sequel that Tom wants to get off the ground. It is currently in its infancy.”
The person in the know also shared: “He’s talking [to Paramount] about it, and it’s going to be what comes together first in terms of a script. It depends on the idea and, ultimately, the script.”
Cruise is trying to regain control of his own narrative.
