Katie Holmes and her 6-year-old daughter Suri Cruise spent Wednesday afternoon at the Central Park Zoo in Midtown Manhattan.
Mother and child appeared to be enjoying the experience of feeding the animals and engaging in close personal contact with other zoo guests.
Flanked by two security guards, the actress was especially attentive to her offspring. She could be seen caressing her daughter’s hair and leaning in close while they quietly chatted.
The outing seems to suggest that Holmes is determined to live life to the fullest as a single mother just days after securing a quickie divorce settlement that gives her primary custody of her only child – details here.
