TORONTO — Katie Holmes said in a new interview her split from Tom Cruise is behind her and she is ready to fall in love again.
The actress filed for divorce from Cruise in June 2012 after five years of marriage.
“I don’t want that moment in my life to define me, to be who I am,” she told People.
“I don’t want that to be what I’m known as. I was an actor before, an actor during and an actor now.”
Holmes, 35, told the magazine she is “a very loving person” and therefore open to a new romance.
“What I’ve come to understand is that your dreams will happen, but they might not happen when you want them to,” she said. “There are some things you just have to wait for.”
Holmes, who will soon reprise her role as Jackie Kennedy Onassis in a follow-up to the made-in-Ontario miniseries The Kennedys, also said she is ready for new challenges in her career.
“I don’t have any fear now, I don’t have a lot of rules for myself, and I don’t take myself that seriously.”
The star said being a mom to 8-year-old Suri “means everything to me” and she continues to learn “every day.”
Holmes also revealed she’s “much more shy and much more sensitive than people realize.
“I cry all the time,” she said. “I do!”
The interview with Holmes appears in the new issue of People.
