Nicole Kidman Reportedly Feels Tom Cruise's Romance With Russian Socialite Is 'Staged'

Nicole Kidman allegedly views Tom Cruise's relationship with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova as "bizarre" and "staged." Kidman sees Cruise's attempts to overcome his "undateable" image with lavish spending as lacking substance.

Cruise and Khayrova's public appearance at a London party fueled dating rumors. Further adding to the romance speculations was Dmitry Tsetkov, Khayrova's ex-husband, who warned Cruise about her expensive taste.

Kidman is allegedly skeptical over her ex-husband Cruise's relationship with 36-year-old Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova.

According to a report, the 56-year-old views Cruise's new romance as "bizarre" and "staged."

An insider shared with the National Enquirer that the "Aquaman" actress finds the situation "staged and bizarre" and "makes her even more thankful for her own marriage."

Having divorced Cruise in 2001 after an eleven-year marriage, Kidman found lasting love with country music icon Keith Urban, whom she married in 2006.

Regarding Cruise's current relationship with Khayrova, the "Big Little Lies" star reportedly sees it as an attempt to overcome his reputation as "undateable" by spending lavishly.

"Tom's shown for years he's undateable and if he thinks he's going to solve that problem by throwing money at his high-maintenance sweetie, then good luck with that," the insider shared.

"Nicole knows what a ham Tom is," the source added. "He can pour on the charm and hire out an entire restaurant for one meal, but there's no substance there."

They continued, "Somewhere down the line, Tom's going to get bored and distracted by other things and Elsina's going to kick him to the curb."

"It's not like he can't afford to lavish this girl with the best of the best, but Nicole believes Tom's ego and bizarre lifestyle will eventually burn this romance out like all the others!" the insider concluded.

Cruise and Khayrova first sparked dating rumors after they attended a party in Grosvenor Square together, surprising and exciting fellow guests.

Speaking to Daily Mail, a guest shared that the "Mission Impossible" star and Khayrova "were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her."

Witnesses shared details of Cruise and Khayrova engaging in animated conversations, exchanging affectionate gestures, and spending much of the night dancing together.

"He spent most of the night dancing with Ms. Khayrova, but at one point he was just throwing himself around in the middle of a group of women," the insider shared.

They added, "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."

Khayrova's ex-husband, Dmitry Tsetkov, cautioned Cruise about his former wife's expensive tastes, alleging that he spent £10 million on clothes and £2 million on handbags during their tumultuous 11-year marriage.

He shared insights into the costly fallout of their divorce, alleging a significant decline in his fortune from £200 million to £50 million. "Irrespective of whoever she's with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open," he said.

However, despite the financial toll, the tycoon expressed happiness for his ex-wife, stating: "I'm happy for her. I wish her all the best."

Tsetkov, a fan of Cruise, revealed that he hadn't discussed the relationship with Khayrova directly, "I haven't spoken with Elsina about this because our preferred method of communication is through our lawyers. She's 36, she's beautiful, financially independent, and loves life."

He added: "Tom Cruise is my favorite actor, he's one of the best I have ever seen. I have watched a lot of his movies. I first heard about him when I was 13 from my English teacher who came back from the US and told us that she lived next door to him."
