A-list Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has been making the headlines recently thanks to his relationship with a much younger Russian woman.

The pair were said to be doing well but recently, breakup rumors started to take center stage regarding the duo. And now, the actor is having his say.

Cruise has told the press that the pair are just keeping things nice and slow as he initially thought they were moving too fast. Therefore, they’ve opted to tone things down a notch but are still in touch.

This report has shocked some people as the tabloids had mentioned in the past how the pair just could not find any more common ground and were therefore not getting along. And then the topic of Cruise calling it off, just days after meeting her kids also arose and shocked many individuals too.

Cruise met his latest love interest at a high-profile event. They got the chance to get to know one another and as per reports from insiders, they are continuing their conversations as per usual.

“Tom felt it was time to slow things down a bit by putting a brake on it. That does not mean the love isn’t there. It just means that it’s going to happen at a pace that might not make some happy”- another added.

Another source mentioned that Tom wishes to go slow with whoever he sees fit. He feels he’s been burned by multiple exes and now it’s time to ensure that does not happen again.

Other reports spoke about how Cruise wished to keep the romance a little more private than anything else.

The rumors of their splitting up come just a few days after Khayrova was called out to be Cruise’s official lover in public. It seemed like that added a lot of pressure on the relationship and therefore they opted to end that and go a little more slow.
