An interview Katie Holmes gave to Elle magazine just weeks before filing to divorce Tom Cruise may have hinted at the decision.
In the cover profile, Holmes appears to indicate a desire to escape the long shadow cast by her husband’s fame.
“He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years,” the actress tells the magazine. “I know who I am and where I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that.”
Holmes goes on to say, “Things are not handed to anyone. If anything, you work a little bit harder when you’re in such visible circumstances.”
As for how she’s matured since her 20s, when “it’s like you’re trying too hard to figure everything out,” the 33-year-old actress tells Elle, “I definitely feel much more comfortable in my own skin. I feel sexier.”
She adds, “I’m starting to come into my own. It’s like a new phase.”
Those words certainly strike a chord given the past week’s developments.
The issue hits newsstands on July 17.
