Baby girl for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Actress Katie Holmes, who is engaged to film star Tom Cruise,
has given birth to a baby girl called Suri.
No details were given about the birth itself, which had been the subject
of much speculation.
The baby, who was born on Tuesday in Los Angeles weighed 3.4 kg (7lb
7 oz) and measured 50.8 cm (20 inches).
A spokesman for the couple said both mothe and baby were 'doing well'
and that the couple 'joyously welcomed' the arrival of their daughter.
The baby's name, Suri, came from Hebrew, meaning 'princess' or in Persian,
meaning 'red rose', the statement said.
The baby is the first for Holmes, 27, while Cruise has two adopted children
from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
The birth comes shortly after Cruise denied reports that he was planning
to eat the placenta.
He told chat show host Diane Sawyer, "Yeah, we're going to do that -
a whole family thing. Isn't that normal and natural? No, we're not eating
it."
Where to next?
