According to a new report, Tom Cruise and Elsina Khayrova have gone their separate ways following a very brief relationship and now he has a new girlfriend.

You know, because he’s always looking for someone to share his love and affection with that aren’t his own children.

It seems the A-list star might already be in the process of rebounding with the help of his Top Gun: Maverick costars – and it’s not the one you’re thinking.

Tom Cruise’s New Girlfriend: Wants To ‘Explore’ Relationship With Monica Barbaro

Sounds as if Tom Cruise is eager to move on with Monica Barbaro.

“Tom thinks she’s stunningly beautiful,” a source tells In Touch, adding, “He’d like to explore a relationship with her.”

It seems that Tom and Monica are not technically dating (yet!), but he’s already a very influential figure in her life.

In addition to co-starring with Barbaro in Top Gun, Cruise has apparently been using his star power to further her career.

Cruise pulled strings to get Barbaro cast as Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. The film’s directed by his longtime friend James Mangold.

“Tom’s mentored younger actors before — men and women. It’s a very rewarding process for him,” says the insider.

Of course, it sounds like Tom might be seeking something more than the satisfaction that comes with helping a young artist reach new heights.

“People around Tom believe they’re a great match. But he genuinely wants her to succeed,” the source adds.

The insider says that Monica is “flattered by the attention.”

His Last Relationship Fizzled Out Fast

It seems, however, that Monica wants to focus on her career at the moment. “She wants to prove that she’s deserving of the role,” says the source.

If Tom is looking for love again, it’s a short turnaround from his last relationship.

For a few months at the top of 2024, Tom was getting serious with Russian sociallite Elsina Khayrova. There were even some reports that he had met her kids.

However, despite the rumors, the pair were never seen out publicly together. Additionally, with a near 30 year age gap, it became clear that the romance didn’t have much going for it.

“They weren’t gelling and realized they weren’t romantically compatible,” a source revealed to US Weekly.

Mark that as another relationship for Tom that just couldn’t work. And speaking of which…

Tom’s Relationship With Suri Cruise: What’s Going On There?

Tom has perhaps bigger problems. He’s dealing with some bad press thanks to reports that he still wants nothing to do with Suri, his daughter with Katie Holmes.

These days, Suri is preparing to head off to college. While Tom has made time for his other children, he hasn’t extended the same courtesy to his only biological child.

In fact, he skipped her high school graduation to attend a Taylor Swift concert. Quite the burn.

Should come as no surprise then that Suri has officially dropped “Cruise” from her name, now that she’s 18.

That’s one girl who can’t be impressed by his star power!
