Tom Cruise rented out an entire floor of the swanky London restaurant Novikov Friday night to wow his new flame Elsina Khayrova.
The “Mission Impossible” star “seemed very loved up” and appeared to be “hanging on every word Elsina was saying,” an eyewitness told the Sun.
“They seemed physically very close,” the insider added, telling the outlet that the Russian socialite was “dressed to the nines in a sparkly dress and black fur coat.”
“They were joined by his American security guard, who stepped in when a member of staff asked for a picture.”
Cruise reportedly dropped over $600 on a lobster, seafood and sushi dish at the Russian-owned restaurant, pairing the meal with luxe mocktails.
The source noted that the “very generous” actor had tipped the staff over $100 before he and his date “slipped out the side door into a waiting getaway car.”
“It was a smooth operation,” the source said.
Cruise and Khayrova were first romantically linked last week after the two were spotted getting up close and personal at a party in London’s Grosvenor Square.
“They were inseparable – clearly a couple,” an attendee told the Daily Mail.
The eyewitness added that Cruise, 61, and Khayrova, 36, arrived together to the event around 9 p.m. and “spent most [of] the night dancing.”
Despite their best efforts to enjoy themselves, the “very friendly” Cruise “kept being asked for pictures and politely declining.”
Because of the incessant photo requests, the informant told the Daily Mail that the DJ “had to make an announcement in Russian” that Cruise “didn’t want any photos.”
The two later left together in the early morning hours.
Khayrova is a former model and British citizen who was once married to Russian tycoon Dmitry Tsvetkov, per the Daily Mail.
Speaking to the outlet days later, Tsvetkov said that Cruise should keep his wallet “wide open” should he want to continue dating Khayrova.
“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 tastes,” the Russian oligarch told the outlet.
“Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open.”
Tsvetkov added, “She’s 36, she’s beautiful, financially independent and loves life.”
Cruise was previously married to actresses Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012.
