Katie Holmes opens up about her life as a single mom after Tom Cruise's stormy divorce
The actress, who separated from the protagonist of ‘Mission: Impossible’ in 2012, has broken with her usual discretion to reveal some details about her relationship with little Suri
It is not common to see Katie Holmes make statements about her private life, much less about her daughter Suri hers or about the stormy divorce that she lived with Tom Cruise almost eight years ago. "They were very intense moments, of constant scrutiny, and above with a little girl," the actress now assures about that time, which she remembers as very convulsed during an interview on the cover of InStyle magazine.
The interpreter, who rose to fame for the successful adolescent series of the late 90s Dawson grows up, tells the aforementioned publication that one of the things that became hardest during the separation, which came seven years after the beginning of The relationship with the Misión Imposible actor and six years after the birth of his only daughter, was precisely the harassment that the two received from the press.
“As a public person, I have always received a lot of attention, in different periods of my life. And when you have so much attention, often you don't even want to leave the house because it's too much. You can feel consumed by what people say, but suddenly you decide to do things on your own terms, ”said Holmes, who has come to admit that at that time he had to change some routines with his daughter to try to expose her as little as possible .
“Everything was very intense. They chased us both a lot when she was little. And I wanted to get her out of the house, so we went to the park at six in the morning so they wouldn't see us, "said the actress, who admits that her daughter's character made things easy for her before the separation:" There is a video in which I hold her in my arms, she is about two years old, and (instead of being scared by the situation) she starts to greet the cameras. She is a very special girl ”.
“We had certain curious moments, also in public. Many people whom she did not know became friends, she helped us. There was one episode in particular that was amazing, I think I cried. Suri was six or seven years old and she stayed over at a friend's house. At ten o'clock at night she called me saying: "Mommy, can you come and get me?" I took a taxi and went to get her, who was exhausted. When we got to the building, the taxi driver opened the door and helped me lower it so she wouldn't wake up. He helped me take her home. She was so kind ... ”, recalled the interpreter, that she only has words of admiration for her daughter.
“She is very strong, she has always had a great personality. I love her very much and my greatest goal has always been to educate her in her individuality. Make sure that she is 100% her, strong, confident, capable and intelligent. She will choose a profession and will work hard until she is really good at it, "says the actress, who, as has been seen in all the images of the two, is extremely close to Suri, who will turn 14 this year.
“Suri is already 14 years old, we have already gone through the stage more of a girl. I feel that I can be more creative, that I have more time, my own voice ", finally admits Katie Holmes, who after the divorce from Tom Cruise and the relationship of more than six years with Jamie Foxx, seems to have found great support in the actress Nicole Kidman.
According to the ‘Us Weekly’ medium, the fact that the Australian also went through a hard divorce with the actor has made the two unite. “They have spoken often in recent weeks. Nicole has offered her help, saying that she has also gone through that and that she endured ”, assured a source close to Holmes.
