Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise Have a Girl!
April 19, 2006Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise have welcomed their first child together, two inside sources told PEOPLE.
The couple "joyously welcomed the arrival of a baby girl, Suri, today," the actor’s rep said in a statement after PEOPLE first broke the news exclusively. "The child weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches in length. Both mother and daughter are doing well."
The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew meaning "princess," or in Persian meaning "red rose," the rep added.
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."
