Holmes: 'It was love at first sight'

Katie Holmes has claimed that "time stopped" when she was first introduced to husband Tom Cruise.

The actress, who became engaged to Cruise after a whirlwind romance in 2005, said they had felt an immediate connection.

She told In Style: "It happened in an instant. When you fall in love, it's like time stops."

She added that the relationship was still going strong, saying: "I try every day to make Tom know how much I love him. It gets better and better.

"[He] and I stay in really good communication with each other. I talk to him about anything, at any time. He works 48 hours straight, comes home, and if I ask, 'Would you help me with this?' he'll do it."

Holmes, 29, also praised her husband for his help during the birth of their daughter Suri in 2006.

She said: "I couldn't have asked for a more supportive human being. He had the room ready, candles everywhere. It was very homey and beautiful."
