Katie Holmesis reflecting on her role as a parent.
“What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” says Holmes, who seldom speaks about her daughter in public.
“I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent,” she adds. “She’s an incredible person.”
Holmes, who shares Suri with exTom Cruise, also discusses the role her daughter plays in her films as she reflects onSuri singing the opening credits of her filmAlone Togetherand previously singing onRare Objects.
“I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her,” she reveals.

“But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people,” she says. “And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly.”
“That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she’s my heart,” she adds.

Last month, Holmes shared in an interview withVarietythat Suri has watched her mom’s hit teen dramaDawson’s Creek, andthe duo had a “good laugh about it.”
“She has seenDawson’s Creek,and I think it’s probably weird since she’s a teenager. I’m not like, ‘You need to watch Mommy’s work.’ But during the pandemic, we had a good laugh about it,” said Holmes.
“It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this,” she added.
Holmes was 19 when she began her role as Joey Potter on the WB series.
