Katie Holmes continues to go about her business as evidenced by a number of new sightings on the streets of Manhattan. She looks positively at peace with her recent decision to dump Tom Cruise.
The latest images were captured this morning as the actress made a solo trek to the Whole Foods supermarket in her new Chelsea neighborhood. By solo we mean with security but without 6-year-old daughter Suri Cruise.
Her wedding ring is gone and the frown lines that normally obscure her face are no longer in evidence.
Many believe that Katie has been formulating an exit strategy for a few months with the help of her lawyer father.
During an interview for the August issue of ELLE magazine, conducted weeks ago, she talked about making some changes in her life. Holmes remarked, “I’m starting to come into my own. It’s like a new phase.”
On the subject of her husband, she acknowledged, “He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years. I know who I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that.”
The custody battle is likely to be brutal. Katie’s legal team filed a request yesterday for a hearing to address an emergency custody and child support request.
The legal petition will be reviewed in family court on July 17 in New York City before Judge Matthew Cooper.
