Katie Holmes: Suri Sleeps Through the Night!

January 15th, 2008

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise hit the jackpot when it came to getting a good night’s sleep as parents. While most tots wake their parents up at the crack of dawn, 20-month-old Suri likes to sleep in.

"She goes to sleep pretty late because we go to sleep late," Katie revealed on Monday’s The Late Show With David Letterman. "[She goes to sleep] around 11 p.m. and [wakes up] about 9 a.m."

Suri doesn’t always wake up by herself though. Wanting to spend every moment with her daughter, Katie, who called motherhood "magical," admitted to often cozying up to her snoozing baby during naps to "stare and kind of kiss her and see if maybe she’ll wake up."

The 29-year-old Mad Money star has high hopes for her baby girl — in show business. Although many celebrity parents try to steer their offspring away from the entertainment industry, Katie is all for it.

"I’m excited. She’s so smart. She’s already talking a lot and you can see she’s already a wonderful artist," she says. "And whatever she wants to do — if she wants to, great. If she doesn’t, okay."

As for her own dreams, Katie fulfilled one of them in November when she ran in the New York City Marathon, as first reported by OK!. Inspired by her father and brother, who competed in the Boston Marathon 15 years ago, the actress decided back in August to finally have a go at it herself

"I loved it. It was hard — very hard, but I loved seeing New York City that way," Katie, who listened to Kanye West’s "Stronger" for the last six miles, says. "And Tom and Suri met me at mile 18 and I really wanted to get in the car at that moment. I really did. Luckily they pushed me through."

And though she has no plans to participate in the Boston Marathon this spring, Katie assures that she’s not hanging up her running shoes just yet. "I may try a different one."

OK! Exclusive: TomKat Hits NYC for Marathon

November 2nd, 2007

Only hours after walking the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of Lions for Lambs, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes hopped an east-bound private plane headed for Manhattan, where sources confirm to OK! that Katie is planning on taking part in Sunday’s New York City Marathon.

As OK! exclusively reported several weeks ago, after months of secretly training in predawn runs in Beverly Hills and Berlin, Suri’s mom is scheduled to make her first-ever marathon run this weekend. The 28-year-old actress, who celebrates her first wedding anniversary to Tom on Nov. 18, will join thousands of other masochists runners, including cyclist Lance Armstrong, in the race that begins at the foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island and works its way through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and then back to Manhattan, where everyone collapses in exhaustion in Central Park.

Assuming Katie makes it all the way, she’ll have quite a welcoming committee at the finish line, as several members of the Holmes family are flying in from Ohio to cheer her on. They’ll join her superstar hubby at the Finish Live Banquet at Tavern on the Green where they can watch the race on monitors, get updates on racers — “Go Katie!” — and be just feet away from the racers as they clock in.

Oh, and just in case you believe the newest batch of pregnancy rumors surrounding TomKat, OK! spoke to Katie’s rep who says in no uncertain terms that the actress is “not pregnant.”
