“His first two children are incredible, really smart and kind,” Katie says. “They call me ‘Mom.’” This revelation comes a month after Nicole admitted that Connor, 12, and Isabella (who turns 15 on Saturday) call her by her first name.
“My kids don’t call me Mommy, they don’t even call me Mom,” the The Golden Compass star told U.K. TV show GMTV in November. “They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it.”
In other Cruises, Suri helped Mom ring in her 29th birthday yesterday with a little furniture shopping in Hollywood. Katie tells Parade that she’s looking forward to baking with her 20-month-old at the family compound in Telluride, Colorado, over Christmas.
“We always make a lot of sugar cookies with decorating and sprinkles,” she says. “Suri will be in the dough everywhere. Tom has shown me the greatness of extra chocolate chips.”
The Mad Money actress also confesses that she doesn’t like being away from the littlest Cruise. ”She’s very aware,” Katie says. “This summer, when Tom was working in Germany, she’d wake up and say, ‘Hello, Berlin.’”
In the meantime, Katie continues to enjoy her new (literally) high-flying lifestyle. “I have done things I never thought I would do, like climbing mountains and flying in the P-51 [a World War II fighter]. That’s what is so inspiring about being with him — constant thrills and joy.”
She adds: “I mean, what we do in a week is extraordinary.”
