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

“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!

Here's an embrace that would prompt us to buy a one-way ticket home to see Mom – even though we don't fit into her arms quite as perfectly as Suri does anymore.

If your childhood involved a trip (or two, or more – lucky you!) to the happiest place on earth, well, just consider it one of the many, many things you have in common with Suri Cruise.
