A confident Katie Holmes has opened up about life after Tom Cruise and what it’s like to be a single mother to daughter, Suri.
Talking on the Today Show, the 35-year-old revealed she’s moving forward and is choosing to live life day-by-day.
“I never really look back. I just approach life, I take it one day at a time and I’m really excited about where I am right now,” the actress said.
The past two years have been far from easy for the former Dawson’s Creek star, who split from husband Tom Cruise in 2012 after five years of marriage.
Ever since the pair parted ways, the stunning brunette has been raising their now eight-year-old adorable daughter Suri.
Of life as a single mum, Katie says she’s trying her best to give her little girl a normal upbringing.
“I think, of course, you try your best,” she said.
“I try very hard because I am very grateful for my upbringing and my parents and siblings. I try to do what they did for me for my little one.
“The most important thing for me is letting her know how proud I am and that her accomplishments mean everything. Whatever I do is whatever. It’s really just about her and that’s what I think is most important.”
And it seems things are slowly getting better for the actress, who is currently busy promoting her new movie The Giver, where she plays the mother of Jonas, in the film adaptation of Lois Lowry’s children novel.
“I’m a risk-taker,” she said of her new role.
“I love adventures and new things.
“I approached it like all mothers when their child is leaving the nest. There’s a pain. There’s a loss. That’s how I approached the character.”
Proving she really is loving life at the moment, a flawless Katie posed topless in jeans for Glamour magazine just last month.
