She is also excited about the idea of dancing again, painting, and reading, having recently joined a book club in New York City.

Katie loves NYC and relocated there with Suri following her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012. She previously opened up about raising her daughter in the city, telling InStyle: "The city has a lot to offer, and I use it. Yes, it's a little too exposed at times, and we work hard to maneuver and navigate.

"But what I love about New York is that for me and my child, this is our vibe. When there are 25 things to do every night, it takes you out of your own thing. And you know what else I discovered? There's a place not far from my house that does foot massages until midnight. That's what New York offers!"

In an interview with People when Suri was a little girl, meanwhile, Katie gave an insight into her creative interests, and how she's passing them on to her daughter.

She said: "Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way. I try to have good manners too, so that's what she sees. I also try to be very creative with her, because I know she's an artist, and that speaks to the girl in me.

"To be honest? I'm not going to play tag, probably. That's not top of my list. But I'll paint all day, I'll do the creative stuff."
