Tom Cruise declares Katie Holmes swept him off his feet.
“I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her,” he stated in the Dec. 7 issue of T: The New York Times Style Magazine, wherein he and his wife appear on the split covers of its “Holiday/Reinvention” issue.
Apparently when Holmes disclosed to him that she dreamt of marrying him as a little girl, “I said I wouldn’t want to disappoint her,” Cruise shared.
He then bought Holmes an engagement ring soon after their first date in 2005.
“At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject,” Cruise interjected. “I wanted to ask her.”
In a separate interview, Holmes said she “admired him growing up” and admitted she was also “completely in love” after their first date.
“He was so warm, and I thought, ‘Wow,’” revealed the actress. “I thought, ‘You can be a superstar and a human being.’
“He made me feel so amazing,” Holmes added.
They welcomed their daughter Suri in April 2006 and officially tied the knot November that same year.
Holmes declared that ever since her romance with Cruise started, “My life has expanded. My family and friends are all a part of this bigger life.”
