London - Comic books can be the stuff of fairy tales. But for Katie Holmes, co-star of the new comic book-based film Batman Begins, happily ever after has become happily real.
Holmes, who grew up with a poster of Tom Cruise on her bedroom wall, has recently graced magazine and tabloid pages in her new role as Cruise's girlfriend.
The former star of television's Dawson's Creek acknowledged during a press conference to mark the launch of the new Batman film that she used to dream of marrying the actor.
"We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true," she said.
Holmes, 26, has been on the record about her relationship with Cruise, 42, since the end of April.
The relationship began after Cruise split from actress Penelope Cruz and Holmes and actor Chris Klein called off their long-standing engagement.
Before dating Cruz, Cruise was married to Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman for 10 years.
Kidman's discomfort with Cruise's devout adherence to Scientology allegedly contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.
Holmes is converting to Scientology for Cruise. The former Catholic said she is "excited" about her lessons in the new-age religion.
