The film critics liked Katie, and Holmes immediately received a new proposal to appear in the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". But the beginning actress refused to sign a contract since she considered it’s necessary to finish her studies first.

Nevertheless, a year later, Katie Holmes returned and played the main role in the television series "Dawson's Creek". Katie Holmes played Joey Potter, a girl from a poor family. The television series was broadcast till 2003. There are six seasons. The series was named one of the best television films for teens. This role brought Katie wide popularity among teenagers.

For the first time, Holmes played a major role in the black humor film "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" by Kevin Williamson. She played Lee Ann Watson, a good college student, who faces an unexpected problem in the face of an evil teacher.

The most famous film starring Katie Holmes was the blockbuster "Batman Begins", in which the actress played one of the main roles - Batman's friend Rachel Dawes.

The actress also got the role in the satirical comedy "Thank You for Smoking", the thriller "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and the biopic "The Kennedys", in which the actress plays Jacqueline Kennedy. But these roles could not repeat the success of “Dawson's Creek”.

The actress was often criticized. Finally, Katie Holmes returned to television and began acting in the television series "Ray Donovan" from the third season. Katie got the role of the charming businesswoman Paige Finney.

Katie’s first relations were with Joshua Jackson, the partner of the actress in the series "Dawson's Creek". Relationships between young people did not last long. In 2000, Katie met the famous American actor Chris Klein. The couple did not hide their relations and even got engaged in 2003. But two years later the couple broke up.

Almost immediately Holmes began dating with the famous actor Tom Cruise. For the first time, actors were noticed together in Rome, where there was a public party for movie stars in 2005. The couple was not embarrassed by the age difference: Tom Cruise is 16 years older than Katie. Katie Holmes is also higher than her boyfriend (Katie's height is 175 cm, and Tom's is 170). The relationship of the couple looked perfect.

The father cannot take part in the upbringing of the daughter by the decision of the court. After the divorce, Katie gave her daughter a new name for Scout in honor of the main character of her favorite book "To Kill a Mockingbird" and returned to the Catholic religion.

In 2013, Katie Holmes was noticed with an attractive man. The journalists made pictures of Katie and Jamie Foxx, dancing and hugging at the club in Hamptons. Since that moment, journalists paid special attention to the "the most secret Hollywood relations."

Katie Holmes has an account on the Instagram with 850 thousand followers. But among the thousands of photos, there are no photos with her “boyfriend”.

During the "secret relations" paparazzi captured the actors together only in 2015 at a party of their friends and in 2016 at the "Super Bowl", where the stars came separately.

In 2016, Katie Holmes began to wear a ring on her ring finger. At the same time, Jamie Fox also had an engagement ring.

Fans assume that the actors are hiding their relationships because of the conditions that Katie signed after the divorce with Tom Cruise. Allegedly, the former husband ordered Holmes not to show her private life for five years. This term expires in 2017, which will show whether there was "secret relationship" or not.

In 2016, the media reported on the sequel to the 2011 mini-series “The Kennedys”. In April 2017, the film "The Kennedys: After Camelot" was released. Katie Holmes returned to the role of Jacqueline Kennedy.
