It has been impressive, all things considered, how well Katie Holmes has managed to keep her daughter out of the public eye over the last 14 years.
She recently opened up in an interview with InStyle about some of the strategies she has used to maintain her daughter's privacy.
Back in 2006, Katie married one of the biggest names in the film industry, Tom Cruise.
She quietly focused on motherhood for years before launching a fashion label with her close friend, Jeanne Yang.
Although to the rest of us it seems like between 2006 and now, Katie ghosted us, it's easy to forgive knowing she has single-handedly been raising her daughter.
She confessed that she has no regrets about having a baby in her 20s — in fact, she was happy about it.
“I was happy to become a mom in my twenties,” she said.
“It’s been nice that our ages fit,” she continued.
In a more recent interview with InStyle, Katie revealed that she has made it her mission to protect Suri from the spotlight — which is why we don't see much of her.
She then revealed that because she wanted Suri to be able to spend time outside, they would have to do it at strategic times of the day to avoid being followed.
"So I would walk her around to find parks at, like, six in the morning when nobody would see us."
“But there’s one video where I’m holding her — she was two at the time — and she starts waving at the cameras. She’s pretty special.”
"To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it.”
“Yes, it’s a little too exposed at times, and we work hard to maneuver and navigate," she said.
“I’ll take a class at Broadway Dance Center. I’ll go to the Joyce Theater."
"And you know what else I discovered? There’s a place not far from my house that does foot massages until midnight."
Anyway, Katie and Suri seem like the ultimate mother-daughter duo. And for living in NYC, Katie is doing an amazing job preserving Suri's anonymity.
