Katie Holmes has been married to Tom Cruise for a little over two months now, and outside of the odd snippet or tidbit, we haven't heard a whole lot from her about what it's like being wed to Scientology's very own Jesus. Well, that situation is at last being remedied - yup, Katie Holmes is talking. In her first sit-down interview since the wedding last November, the former Dawson's Creek star opens up about life with the messiah, and becoming a mom. And guess what? Katie's happy. Almost too happy for words, it appears:
I have a husband and children that I adore," says Katie about her storybook life. "I have a career that I really love. When I sit back and reflect, it's – wow!
Yes, Katie is so blissful she can't even think of anything to say but "wow!" Probably while smiling deliriously. Of course, speech limitations and the appearance of euphoria can also be brought on by drug use. But then we know that Katie isn't on any drugs. She's in with Scientologists now, and they don't believe in them.
But you were saying Katie?:
I am very grateful. Tom makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and has since the day I met him. I love being with him. I love calling him husband.
You love calling him "husband." Really. You go around calling him that a lot then. That's just normal conversation for you. "Husband, please pass me the Tabasco." "Don't forget to pick up huggies at the store husband." I thought you were Scientologists, not Amish. And as for Tom making you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world - well, I don't mean to disillusion you Katie dear, but in the biz they call that laying it on thick. You know, being a smooth operator. Slick shit. "Baby, you're so beautiful, every time I look at you my heart just sighs." Something like that I bet. Yeah, that Tom. He's a pip.
But back to you Katie. The experience of having a child. What was that like exactly?:
I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited. And I felt closer to other women – to my sisters, to my mom. I felt empowered, like, "I've given birth. I did it! There's nothing I can't handle."
Hmm, Katie seems awfully enthusiastic in this interview. Almost too enthusiastic. It reminds us a little of:
You don't think Tom could be rubbing off on her do you?Katie continues:
I've really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri as well as the challenges of the first couple of months: feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means – is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? – and figuring out how to really help her.
The secret language of babies. I'll give you a hand with that one Katie. If they cry, it means they shit themselves. If they wail, it means they shit themselves. If they coo, it means they shit themselves. If they utter a muffled squeak, it means you're sitting on them. Got it?
And still more from Katie:
I have a whole new set of responsibilities. My work is very important to me. My family is very important to me. When I go to work, it will be the right thing, worth my time and worth my time away from my family.
Balancing home and career - it's a challenge all professional mothers face. It won't be a problem for Katie though. Cause she doesn't have a career.
