But Katie's interview was all about her new husband, Tom Cruise. Married for less than three months, Katie is still over the moon about becoming a wife. She says, "I am very grateful. Tom makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and has since the day I met him. I love being with him. I love calling him husband."

Katie also gushed about the joys of motherhood and her daughter, Suri. She says, "I've really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri as well as the challenges of the first couple of months: feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means – is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? – and figuring out how to really help her." Katie didn't even mind being pregnant. She tells Harper's Bazaar, "I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited. And I felt closer to other women – to my sisters, to my mom. I felt empowered, like, 'I've given birth. I did it! There's nothing I can't handle.' "

Though Katie has been reported to be pursuing acting again - she hasn't had a movie in theatres since last fall - she didn't reveal any firm plans to the magazine. She said, "I have a whole new set of responsibilities. My work is very important to me. My family is very important to me. When I go to work, it will be the right thing, worth my time and worth my time away from my family."
