In a recent interview, actress Katie Holmes opened up about raising her daughter, Suri, during her 20s. She was 27 when Suri was born, and Katie told Elle UK that she loved it. “I was happy to become a mom in my twenties,” she said. “It’s been nice that our ages fit. How do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together.”
Katie has been famously shy about sharing many details when it comes to Suri, who turned 13 this year. Even in this interview, details about Suri’s actual life are scarce. The interviewer notes that she attempted to bring Suri into the conversation twice, but notes that “Then she does something that she does throughout the interview every time I approach anything that swims into the private realm. She sort of tilts her head to one side and screws her mouth up. ‘That’s kind of personal…’ is her standard response.
And then the conversation swings direction again. It’s frustrating, because Holmes is actually incredibly likeable. There is genuine warmth when she speaks. It’s just you want to know so much more because, one suspects, there is so much more than what she gives.”
