Though Katie Holmes is private about her family on social media, she makes exceptions for birthday tributes. This year, her daughter Suri, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, turned 15. Holmes took to Instagram to share some sweet throwback photos of Suri, all in black and white. The first show her sitting at a table with two other young boys, and the next two show the closeness of Katie and Suri's relationship. "Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! ❤️💕😘," Holmes wrote in the caption. "I can't believe you are already 15!"
Last summer, Holmes threw Suri a socially distanced birthday party and was quoted as saying, "This year is a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful. I think when you have less, you are more creative. Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be. To listen," she wrote at the time. "To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift."
The former Dawson's Creek star has been making the most of her time in quarantine, emphasizing how important it is to value family and the small moments that take up our days. "During this time of uncertainty, remembering to be creative and positive has been something I have tried to keep at the forefront of my mind," said Holmes. "Throughout this experience the through-line for me has been a heightened awareness of each moment and really taking it in and appreciating it." Also as of 2020, Holmes has been dating chef Emilio Vitollo Jr. as of 2020 following her 2019 split from actor Jamie Foxx.
