Katie Holmes has had ups and downs, but one thing remains certain: her commitment to the well-being of daughter Suri.
Holmes and ex-husband Tom Cross welcomed Suri in April 2006. The couple stopped it in June 2012 after six years of marriage. Following her divorce, Holmes has been open about the highs and lows of being single parent.
“That time was intense. There was a lot of attention, and I had a small child on top of it. [We] had some funny moments in public, ‘the Dawson’s Creek alum said in an April 2020 interview with In Style. “I feel like I can be more creative, have more time and make my voice heard.”
Holmes also talked about how proud she is to see Suri fake her own path as she grows up.
“[I want] to make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and capable. And to know it. She came out very strong. She has always been a strong personality,” she continued. “She chooses an activity and works her butt off until she’s really good at it. Then she says, “Okay, I’m going to try the next thing.” She is very focused and a hard worker.”
