Holmes opened up about welcoming her daughter with ex Tom Cruise in 2006 when she was 27 years old.

"I was happy to become a mom in my twenties," the actress said, speaking with Elle UK for the December 2019 cover story, per Just Jared.

"It's been nice that our ages fit," Holmes continued. "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."

They Occasionally Hit the Gym Together

Katie Holmes Shape magazine

"Sometimes I work out with my daughter," Holmes told SHAPE in the December 2019 issue. "It just depends on the day. We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap."

But the mom admitted that she would never make it a mandatory bonding activity with her teenage daughter, saying, "I don't force her to work out with me because I know that's lame."

Of course these two do mommy-and-me playdates better than everyone else! Katie and Suri met up with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton backstage at the presidential candidate's exclusive fundraiser in December 2015, where new mom Chelsea bonded with Suri (and, we assume, picked up some pint-sized style tips for daughter Charlotte).
