Katie Holmes Recalls Daughter Suri Being “So Visible” at a Young Age

“That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling,” she explained. “It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she’s my heart.”

After being followed by the paparazzi in the early aughts, Katie and Suri found solace in their privacy during the pandemic. 

“To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results,” Katie recalled in a Nov. 2020 essay for Vogue Australia, “and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift.”

For Katie, hobbies like sewing, painting and writing “became new hallmarks of satisfaction” in the household.

“During this time of uncertainty, remembering to be creative and positive has been something I have tried to keep at the forefront of my mind,” she wrote. “Throughout this experience the through-line for me has been a heightened awareness of each moment and really taking it in and appreciating it.”
