Katie Holmes is notoriously private when it comes to her personal life.

But the "Dawson's Creek" actress, 40, gave a brief glimpse into her relationship with her 13-year-old daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Suri, in a recent interview with Elle U.K.

Holmes said she appreciated embracing motherhood early on.

"I was happy to become a mom in my 20s," she told the outlet.

"It's been nice that our ages fit… how do I put this?" she continued. "Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together."

She also spoke about why she tends to stay away from social media.

"I don't use [Instagram] that much and, if I do, it's usually just work geared," she said. "You can start to look at all these strangers and think you know them and there's no way that can encapsulate a whole person."

"You're just seeing a version of them and you always have to keep that in mind," she added. "It's just a picture. You don't know them. You don't know their past."

She said she prefers to spend her time "watching an old film, reading a great book, spending time with friends and family," opposed to living online.

"That is somebody else's version of me and I can't do anything about that," she added.
