Katie Holmes has said motherhood and work - not romance - are her priorities now.

The actress, 35, posed in a raunchy new shoot for Glamour magazine.

She said of her life after her split from husband Tom Cruise two years ago: " I am really focused on motherhood and work right now," the Daily Mirror reported.

Katie, whose daughter Suri Cruise is eight years old, added: "Motherhood is the greatest gift. When I became a mother, my life completely changed."

She told Glamour: "I didn't know how much love I had in me. It's overwhelming. Every day I discover more about this spectacular human being I get to be the mother of."

The former Dawson's Creek actress posed in just a pair of jeans, with her arms covering her chest.

She told the mag: "I have a tightly edited closet. I like what I like. And I repeat a lot. But I'm always comfortable in jeans - I feel like I can really do anything when I'm in them."

She added: "My parents always treated me the exact same way at home and reminded me of gratitude. And that's been a grounding force."
