It's been two years since she and husband Tom Cruise have divorced but the couple's breakup still remains a hot issue because actress Katie Holmes have remained quiet about their high-profile split.

In an interview with People, which she covers on its latest issue, Holmes clarified that she has moved on already and that she is happy now.

She even mentioned that she doesn't want the TomKat image to define her.

"I don't want that moment in my life to define me, to be who I am," the Dawson's Creek star said.

"I don't want that to be what I'm known as. I was an actor before, an actor during and an actor now," she continued.

Holmes, 35, was also a TV celebrity when she was linked to the hunk superstar. She became a household name with her role in the WB drama, the same series that launched the careers of costars James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams.

But it could never be denied that her marriage to the A-lister propelled her career to even greater heights.

The two became Hollywood's "it" couple, thanks to Cruise's Oprah couch-jumping stunt.

Cruise and Holmes married in 2006, but their marriage ended with a divorce in 2012, which went through with less fanfare. Cruise never divulged the details of their split publicly while Holmes vaguely alludes to it in magazine interviews. The couple has a daughter, Suri Cruise, 8, who Holmes says "means everything to me."

"I'm learning every day, and I have been since the minute I became a mom," she added.

"My patience has grown, but between 4 and 6 p.m. ... I mean, wow. Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way."

Holmes, who was a former Broadway actress, is now confident that she "doesn't have any fear " and is prepared to face challenges, particularly in making bold moves for her career. She'll eventually reprise her role as Jackie Kennedy in another Kennedys miniseries. She's also slated to make her directorial debut in All We Had.
