00:00 Tom Cruise appears to be head over heels with former model Elsina Karova.
00:05 In the new issue of Us Weekly, a source tells Us,
00:07 "Apparently Tom and Elsina have been together a while now.
00:11 They're very happy, and Tom's extremely confident about it working out for the long term."
00:16 In early December, the two were spotted at a party in London's Grosvenor Square
00:20 after meeting through mutual friends in the city's social scene.
00:23 The source says that the pair have been spending a good deal of time together in the UK,
00:28 where Tom owns a six-bedroom penthouse apartment.
00:31 An insider tells Us, "What started as a basic friendship
00:34 quickly turned into something more special."
00:36 The source adds that they hung out at Tom's favorite private members club
00:40 and regularly enjoy afternoon tea and gourmet dinners out in London.
00:44 They add that Tom's become a popular figure in London among the well-heeled elite types.
00:49 The former model has split from the father of her two children last year,
00:53 while Tom has introduced her to his eldest kids, Isabella and Connor,
00:57 and it turns out they approve.
00:58 A source tells Us, "They think Elsina is great
01:01 and are so happy to see their dad has love in his life again."
01:04 In fact, the twice-divorced actor is even open to walking down the aisle again,
01:08 with a source telling Us, "This is a very special time for him,
01:12 and having a serious relationship in his life that he can build on is the icing on the cake."
