Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise Have a Girl!

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise "joyously welcomed the arrival of a baby girl, Suri, today," Cruise's rep said in a statement after PEOPLE first broke the news Tuesday afternoon.

"The child weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches in length. Both mother and daughter are doing well." Suri was born in an L.A.-area hospital.

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

Holmes, Cruise and baby Suri are back home and doing well.

Last 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 coolYou can sit and talk to them about life."

As for marriage, Cruise and Holmes plan to tie the knot soon, Cruise said on the German TV program Wetten, dass..? on April 1. "In summer we want to get married. I won't let this woman get away."

I hope that they do well raising their child. I know it's really bizarre, but I hope for Suri's sake that they have a good relationship while she grows up

They seem really happy together. Suri will do fine

I wonder if it was a silent birth.

Once I read the explanation about silent birth it made more sense to me.. It's more the language as opposed to literal silence...

I think the name is cute myselfe.. Not necessarily with the last name haha but it's a cute name

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

I thought they might name her "Princess".
Princess Cruise has sort of a familiar ring to it. Don't you think? Cool

Honestly, I like the first name Suri too, I just think it sounds terrible coupled with his last name. Tongue

Well, in a way they did..Suri means "princess" in Persian, doesn't it say?..LOL

OK correction..Hebrew.

ALso, I read in another article that Katie isn't allowed to speak to the baby for 7 days...some Scientology thing abou "thetans"

I read that same article Teach! It also says that the rest of the world should forget about these two celebrity nutjobs by sunset of the Friday following the birth of their little princess . . . . . again some Scientology thing.

. . . . and who am I to argue against somebody's religion! :smmirk:
