The world was stunned when Katie Holmes announced she was divorcing Tom Cruise, but it seems the actress wasn’t as secretive about her plans as previously thought.
In an interview conducted in mid-May for an upcoming issue of US Elle magazine, Katie said she was getting ready to enter a “new phase” in her life and expressed excitement for what the future held.
“I definitely feel much more comfortable in my own skin,” Katie told the magazine. “I feel sexier. I think in my 20s, it’s like you’re trying too hard to figure everything out.
“I’m starting to come into my own. It’s like a new phase.”
Katie — who also posed for a seductive photo shoot to accompany the interview — also offered a cryptic answer to a question about what it was like to be Mrs Tom Cruise.
“He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years,” she said. “I know who I am and where I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that.”
Katie, 33, and Tom, 50, are due in court in New York on July 17 to discuss custody of their six-year-old daughter Suri.
