Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise have welcomed their first child together, two inside sources have told PEOPLE.

No other details are immediately available.

In late October, barely six months into their romance, an ecstatic Cruise and Holmes revealed that they were expectant parents.

Cruise, 43, and Holmes, 27, had made no secret of their desire to start a family together: When asked by PEOPLE last June if they were planning to have children, Holmes smiled and said simply, "Yes."

Friends of the Toledo, Ohio-bred Holmes called her perfectly suited to her upcoming role. "She almost seems born for motherhood," said Oliver Hudson, actress Kate Hudson's brother and an old pal who costarred with Holmes in Dawson's Creek. "She's a nurturer. She's got mother qualities a lot of girls her age don't have."

Cruise, meanwhile, is "a great dad already," according to his pal, actress Leah Remini. He has two children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman: Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, whom Cruise and Kidman adopted as infants. Remini told PEOPLE that both kids are "so cool…You can sit and talk to them about life."

Immediately ahead for the new dad: the May 5 release of Mission: Impossible 3. Holmes stars in the recently released satirical film about Washington politics, Thank You for Smoking.

Weren't they going to name the baby after Hubbard?

[Blogger]

They never said.

[Bella_Bru]

It is sort of news...of the bizarro world of Scientologists.

[Revolting cat!]

Who's the father?

[LexBaird]

I predict they name it Leafmold Commizar Xenu Cruiseon-Holmes

[Kenny Bunkport]

The poor kid. Perfect example of "One can't choose their parents."

[Bella_Bru]

ROFLMAO! Good one!

[COEXERJ145]

Poor kid.

Dinnertime. Pass the Placenta!

[Bella_Bru]

No kidding. I wonder how she did through that, "no noise during childbirth" thing. Poor girl. Dumb for getting together with him, but I still have sympathy for her.

Ah, she's okay. When she's not in a brainwashed stupor.

[MediaMole]

That poor child. I wouldn't wish his life on my worst enemy.

[Diverdogz]

Channel surfing a few minutes ago, I landed on CNN. Cafferty (a bigtime lib) was wondering if it was too soon to file a sympathy card to the newborn child. Hilarious...even libs think Tom Cruise is Nucking Futs.

Placenta recipes

Ewwww. That's just gross.

[BunnySlippers]

Little Elron ...

[Diverdogz]

SEND a sympathy card. (where'd I come up with 'file'?)

Another Scientologist, btw. Apparently Scientology holds great appeal for actors, and this says nothing flattering about actors.

LOL!

Yup.

This topic belongs in New/Activism...psychotherapy alert.

Poor Tom...he is so clearly bipolar and all he needs is a little mineral additive (lithium). Which is why it is so ironic that, of all people, he would rant about the evils of therapeutic drugs.

You'd think that they could tell the sex of the little alien by now.

[Shermy]

Sshhh!

BARF.

Yes, she is a fine, young filly.

[PISANO]

I see the baby was a bit early........I guess TOM was hungry.

[durasell]

Cruise and his sister publicist were reported to have tried to push the baby back inside in order to re-schedule the birth to coincide with the release of MI3.

"Walking with children is always difficult," Cruise said when asked about the incident. "They have problems with scheduling."

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

hollywood is into satan(scientology)... no surprise there.

[dighton]

Please, let's not intrude on the family life of these intensely private people.

Is Tom going out cruising gay bars in North Hollywood tonight handing out cigars?

Gotta name.

Katie Holmes gives birth
From correspondents in Los Angeles
April 19, 2006
HOLLYWOOD superstar Tom Cruise's fiancee Katie Holmes has given birth to the couple's first child, People magazine said today.
The baby, named Suri, weighed 3.4kg and measured 50.8cm, Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson said to the Associated Press.

Cruise's publicist Paul Bloch could not immediately be reached for comment on the report, but People quoted two "inside sources" as confirming the new arrival.

No other details, including the baby's gender or its date of arrival were immediately available, said People, which is regularly privy to celebrity scoops related to births, marriages and divorces.

The child would be a third for Mission Impossible star Cruise, 43, who has two adopted children with his ex-wife, Australian Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman.

It was the first baby for 27-year-old Holmes.

The Cruise-Holmes baby has been eagerly anticipated by the world's media since they announced they were expecting barely six months after they began dating.

The couple, dubbed "TomKat" by the entertainment press – a combination of the first syllable of each of their first names – began dating about a year ago.

They sparked a media frenzy when they announced in June they were planning to marry and then crowned the excitement in October with their baby announcement.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have baby girl
SANDY COHEN
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - The Tomkitten has arrived.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the high-profile pair dubbed "TomKat" by the media, had a baby girl Tuesday, said Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson.

The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long, he said.

"Both mother and daughter are doing well," Robinson said in a prepared statement.

The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning "princess," or in Persian, meaning "red rose," the statement said.

The baby was born in Los Angeles but the exact location was not disclosed.

It's the first child for Holmes, 27, and the first biological offspring for Cruise, 43. Cruise has a daughter and son from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

Details surrounding the birth, which was planned under the tenets of the Church of Scientology as a silent procedure, weren't disclosed.

Mum's the Word for Tom's Katie

Katie Holmes can break out the noisemakers: She and Tom Cruise are parents.

Cruise and Holmes "joyously welcomed" a baby girl, named Suri, on Tuesday, a statement from the couple's publicist said. Mother and daughter are said to be "doing well." Father is presumably couch-hopping happy.

Suri, the statement explained, means "princess" in Hebrew and "red rose" in Persian. The girl weighed in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and registered 20 inches in length.

This guy's a jerk. Marry the mother of your child, immature fearful little boy.

[Cyclopean Squid]

or maybe it's Suri because she is sure going to be suri that Tom Cruise is her dad

[stylecouncilor]
