Newly Single Katie Holmes Wants to Date Tall Men

Fresh from her divorce to Tom Cruise, newly single actress Katie Holmes said that she would like to date "tall men".

According to IANS, 33-year-old Holmes recently indulged in a shopping spree, buying 15 pairs of high-heeled shoes following her divorce from her ex-husband of five years in August.

"I would like a guy who is taller than me... It sounds shallow. I like being tall, but going on dates with someone who is shorter... I just want to be with someone who is taller than me," Holmes was quoted by British magazine OK! as saying,

During her married years, the 5-feet 9-inches tall actress mostly favoured flats to avoid overshadowing Cruise who is two inches shorter than her.

The "Batman Begins" beauty was recently spotted with Jeremy Strong enjoying a day out in New York City. Reports said that the two are just close friends, and that Holmes is being careful not to rush into another relationship, though there's a chance that the pair could get serious.

"They're just friends, but there's potential. He's the first man who has made Katie smile and who she has felt comfortable with in a long time," a source reportedly told British magazine Closer.

Since her split from Cruise, Holmes has been striving to carve a niche in the fashion industry. On Wednesday, the actress displayed her new collection she created with stylist Jeanne Yang at the New York Fashion Week held at Lincoln Center.
