Tom Cruise ex-wife sexy Katie Holmes shows some skin on Allure Cover, says she’s “Open” to having more Kids”

Her daughter Suri from her marriage to Tom Cruise is the apple of Katie Holmes’ eye.

But the actress has revealed she is ‘open’ to the idea of having more children. When asked about expanding her family one day, the single star told Allure magazine: ‘I don’t know. I’m open to it.’

In fact it seems there could be many changes on the horizon for the 34-year-old.

Katie has been a star of screen and stage, a fashion designer, and of course a doting mother and wife.

But rumours have been swirling she could be set to become a lawyer, and Katie hasn’t denied the reports.

Meanwhile in an inside shot, Katie cuts a sexy figure in a black sleeveless creation with a flirty zip.

The gorgeous star also revealed the best beauty advice her mother has ever given her: ‘You may be pretty, and you may be talented, but nobody will remember that if you’re mean.’

To look at the images, you would never guess that they were taken in grim and grey New York.

And while she’s looking forward to the possibility of new projects ahead of her, Holmes says she hopes this year is good everyone and not just herself.

“I hope this is a peaceful year for a lot of people in the world,” she tells the magazine. “When you look back on the last year, there were a lot of tragedies — Hurricane Sandy, the Connecticut shooting. I just hope it’s a good year for everyone.”

But Katie and photographer Tom Munro used some tricks of the trade and shot the cheerful – and seductive – photos on an indoor beach. 

Katie’s last venture was starring in Broadway play Dead Accounts, and even though the production was quickly cancelled, she was thrilled to be a part of it.

‘I was open to – well, to whoever wanted me,’ she admitted. ‘But it was always my goal to make it back to the stage.’

The April issue of Allure magazine is on sale March 26.

‘Well, my brother and father are attorneys, and – we’ll see,’ Katie said. ‘I like the practical thinking of attorneys.’

The brunette also posed for a stunning beauty shoot for the publication, in which she wears her hair tousled into beachy waves.

In the cover image, the Dawson’s Creek beauty is seen getting to grips with a rope while wearing a black swimsuit with mesh detailing.
