Katie Holmes finds ‘love’ in the most unexpected place with sweet discovery in NYC

Katie Holmes delivered a sneak peek into her life in New York on Thursday when she shared an adorable discovery during a walk through her beloved city. 

The star took a break from promoting her new Broadway show Our Town, to deliver a photo on Instagram stories which made her smile. 

Katie posted a snapshot of the sidewalk where leaves had fallen on the path with one shaped like a perfect heart. 

At first glance, it looked like someone had drawn the heart with chalk, rather than it naturally occurring.

Katie added some pink heart emojis of her own and let the photo do the talking.

Shortly after her post, Katie returned to spreading news of Our Town. 

She posted several images from the performance and captioned them: “Here’s your first look at Our Town! Be sure to catch the show and experience the magic up close. #ForOurTime.”

Katie is starring in the new production as Mrs Webb, and her performance has been hailed as “phenomenal” by critics.

The play has been revived for the first time in 20 years on Broadway and features 28 actors, including Katie, Jim Parsons, Zoey Deutch, Ephraim Sykes, Julie Halston and Michelle Wilson.

It’s been keeping the mom-of-one busy after becoming an empty-nester last month when her daughter, Suri, left home for college. 

The 18-year-old is studying in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Carnegie Mellon University.

Suri was spotted settling into her new home on campus at the end of August, with Katie by her side.

The teen has transitioned to a typical college experience far from her Hollywood upbringing and is sharing a dorm room with another female student.

Suri’s college move marks a significant moment for Katie, who has been vocal about her pride in her daughter’s accomplishments.

Speaking to Town & Country magazine, Katie said it was bittersweet watching her grown up and leave the comfort of their life together in NYC. “Of course, I will miss the close proximity,” she said. “But I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.”

Katie and Suri have also worked together on several of her movies and she’s loved gifting her daughter a “safe, beautiful, creative space,” to express herself.

Talking of the bond they have, Katie told Glamour: “It was very meaningful to me to have her there because she’s my heart.” 

Katie shares Suri with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, but the Mission Impossible star is believed to be estranged from his daughter and hasn’t seen her in years.
