Their marriage in November 2006 garnered significant media attention, turning into the event of the year.
However, over five years later, in the summer of 2012, the couple announced their separation. Out of this union, their daughter Suri Cruise was born, and she is now 14 years old. Nearly eight years after the divorce, the 41-year-old actress, known for her role in the series 'Dawson's Creek,' typically reserved about her personal life, has shared insights into her breakup with the 'Top Gun' protagonist in an interview with InStyle magazine.
In the April issue of the popular publication, Katie Holmes, who graces the cover, reflects on her life as a public figure, acknowledging the constant attention she has received throughout different phases of her life.
She confesses that fame has, at times, hindered her ability to leave her home, but she now feels liberated by doing things on her own terms. The actress, currently experiencing one of her best moments, expresses excitement about pursuing projects she has always wanted and enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle.
Addressing the aftermath of her separation from Tom Cruise and the upbringing of their daughter, Holmes reveals that it prompted her to relocate to New York City. In the interview, she describes this decision as the right one, emphasizing her love for the city's skyscrapers.
Recounting the intense scrutiny she faced during that period, she mentions the measures taken to shield her daughter from media pressure, such as visiting the park with Suri at "six in the morning" to avoid photographers and onlookers.
Despite the challenges, Holmes highlights the positive aspects of her journey, acknowledging the support received from newfound friends in the city. She expresses gratitude for the camaraderie and assistance extended to both her and her daughter during tough times.
Reflecting on her life in the city, she appreciates the friendships that blossomed, emphasizing the unique connections formed in New York. These revelations come months after the end of her discreet relationship with actor Jamie Foxx, a romance that lasted since 2013.
