Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise were joined by grandma Kathleen Holmes at Central Park Zoo

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise cheered themselves up with a trip to Central Park Zoo yesterday.

Holmes and her daughter, Suri, were joined by Katie's mother and Suri's grandmother, Kathleen Holmes, as they took in the sights, sounds and smells of the New York City zoo.

The trio seemed in good spirits, despite the recent personal turmoil they've been going through, as they checked out the super-cute animals.

TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES REACH DIVORCE SETTLEMENT

Flanked by police and Holmes' new team of bodyguards, Holmes and Suri put the divorce with Tom Cruise behind them for the day of quality family time.

The trip comes as reports suggest that Cruise's previous ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, has been helping Holmes mastermind the split.

Kidman rarely gets to see the two adopted children she and Cruise share, Isabella and Connor, a fate Holmes is desperate to prevent.

'They've spoken over the last few weeks,' an insider is quoted as telling Us Weekly magazine.

'Nicole has been supportive, saying she's been through it too and to hang in there.'
