Elsina Khayrova
Tom and the Russian socialite were first linked in December 2023 after they were spotted getting cozy during a party in London’s Grosvenor Square. However, the romance reportedly quickly fizzled out less than three months later due to lack of “romantic compatibility.”
“They weren’t gelling,” an insider told Us Weekly in an interview published on March 27, 2024. While there was no “bad blood” between the former flames, the source added, “They just had different ideas of what their relationship was going to be.”
