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.
Tried to put this in Chat. Didn't work.
Weren't they going to name the baby after Hubbard?
They never said.
It is sort of news...of the bizarro world of Scientologists.
Who's the father?
I predict they name it Leafmold Commizar Xenu Cruiseon-Holmes
The poor kid. Perfect example of "One can't choose their parents."
ROFLMAO! Good one!
Poor kid.
Damn thetans!
That poor stuffed pillow...oops I mean baby.
Who gives a RAT'S ASS?
Dinnertime. Pass the Placenta!
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.
That poor child. I wouldn't wish his life on my worst enemy.
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.
