In an exclusive interview with InStyle on March 11, Katie Holmes shared her heartfelt feelings about her daughter. "I love her so much," she said, her voice brimming with emotion.

It’s clear that Katie’s love for her daughter is boundless, and her focus is on helping Suri carve out her own path in life.
Suri Cruise: Following Her Own Path
It’s no surprise that Suri has inherited her mother’s determination. From a young age, she’s shown a strong sense of self and an unrelenting drive to pursue her passions. Holmes described her daughter as someone who doesn’t take "no" for an answer. "She came into this world with so much strength," Katie revealed. "Suri has always been a powerful personality.

Katie shares custody of Suri with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise. As a single mom, she’s committed to being well-rounded and independent, setting a great example for her daughter. "I want to have a great skill set for handling the world," Holmes explained. And it seems to be working. Suri is blossoming into a confident young woman, and her mother’s influence is evident in her approach to life.
Creating Memories Together
Katie Holmes is all about fostering creativity in her daughter. She remembers the time when Suri was just four or five years old and asked for a fairy-themed birthday party. Instead of outsourcing the planning, Holmes decided to make it a collaborative effort. "We went to the fabric store and picked out everything we needed for fairies," she recalled. "I wanted her to be involved in creating things instead of having everything done for her. That way, she was always in charge of her own imagination." Holmes believes that giving Suri the tools to create and explore has helped shape her into the remarkable young woman she is today.
