IN early February, Tom Cruise was photographed landing his helicopter at a heliport in Battersea London after a day spent filming the next installment of his hit Mission: Impossible franchise. The 61-year-old actor was all smiles as he walked the tarmac and happily greeted the grounds crew before making his way to his waiting car. He may not have been jumping on a couch on national TV, but it was clear to those who know Tom that he was a man in love. The A-lister went public with his romance with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrov at a party in London’s Grosvenor Square in early December. According to a source, Tom recently asked Elsina to marry him and was knee-deep in planning a lavish, $10 million wedding when the 36-year-old former model dumped him. The source tells Star Elsina initially said yes to Tom’s proposal but got freaked out by his intensity. “She started questioning why Tom was in such a rush to tie the knot,” explains the source. “It was all moving too fast. She got scared off.”
Now a desperate Tom is determined to get her back. “He’s been sending her flowers and jewelry, but Elsina says she needs time apart to think,” says the source, noting that the divorced mom of two is unlikely to change her mind. “It seems like for her, it’s over.”
FAIRY-TALE FAIL
After three divorces, Tom thought he’d finally found The One in Elsina. “He fell for her hard and the romance was going along smoothly,” says the source. “They knew everything about each other. She knew all about his past, and he was fascinated with learning everything he could about her.”
