The American star was stepping out after reflecting on fame, motherhood and her difficult marriage to Tom Cruise, who she divorced in 2012 after six years of marriage.

‘That time was intense. It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it,’ she told InStyle of her marriage to Cruise.  

‘We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn’t know became my friends and helped us out, and that’s what I love about the city.’

Katie also recalled an emotional moment during which she was assisted by a kindly cab driver. 

She said: ‘There was one incredible moment when I think I actually cried. Suri was 6 or 7, and she was spending the night at a friend’s house while I was seeing the ballet at Lincoln Center. At 10 o’clock I got a call: “Mommy, can you come get me?”‘ began Holmes.

‘I got a cab and went down to Battery Park to pick her up. She was exhausted. She fell asleep on the way home, and when we pulled up to our building, the cab driver opened the door and helped me not wake her. He helped carry her to the building. He was so kind.’

Touching on her relationship with Suri,she added:   ‘I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality,’ she said.

‘To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it. She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality. She’ll pick an activity and work her butt off until she’s really good at it. 

‘Then she’s like, “OK, I’m going to try the next thing.” She’s very focused and a hard worker.’
