Katie Couric Says Carrie is 'Just Not That Into' Mom

CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric is a working mom, and her career often puts her in the line of fire. Weighing the pros and cons of an assignment often has her erring on the side of caution, choosing instead to stay behind in New York with her two daughters Ellie, 17, and Carrie, 13. “I think about it,” Katie says of her decision to forego a trip to the Middle East during the height of the Iraq War. “Because I want to be a responsible parent…but I also want to do my job professionally.”

Her workload at home is about to be drastically reduced, now that Ellie is heading off to Yale. Katie has big plans for Carrie, though it sounds as though her younger daughter won’t be amused! “She’s at that fun age where she’s just not that into me,” Katie says.

“She’s getting better. She’s 13. Talk to any mother of a 13-year-old girl, and they’ll tell you. But she’s great. I’m looking forward to the two of us being together when Ellie goes away to college. Even though I’ll miss Ellie so much, it will be fun for Carrie and I to spend a lot of one-on-one time together.”

Ellie and Carrie are Katie’s children with husband Jay Monahan, who died in 1998 of colon cancer.

Iman Dishes on 'The Miracle of Conception'

WENN

The age difference between her two daughters — 30-year-old Zulekha and 8-year-old Alexandria ‘Lexi’ Zahra Jones — is stark, and former supermodel Iman, 53, doesn’t like reporters to do the math! “God, you’re making me sound even older than I am,” she tells PARADE. “People talk about the miracle of birth. No. There’s the miracle of conception.” She elaborates,

“I did IVF, but nothing happened. So I began to think of adoption and then I got pregnant. It was definitely a miracle.”

Motherhood the second time around has been a different experience entirely, and Iman says that she’s far more patient as a result. “I was at the height of my career when I had my first child, and I took her with me around the world,” she notes. “Then I had to root her in school; It was difficult to leave her behind.”

“Now this one thinks she has it tough because both her old parents are at home with her all the time. When Lexi was about four, she first saw a picture of [her dad] David [Bowie] as Ziggy Stardust. ‘Why is his hair orange?’ she wanted to know. The makeup didn’t faze her.”

With the glitz and glamour of her own career largely behind her, Iman says that she’s content to tackle more mundane pursuits. ”Lexi’s class has built a kind of diorama of a Native American village for all us moms to admire,” she laughs. “Ah, my glamorous life.”

Zulekha is Iman’s daughter with ex-husband Spencer Haywood.
