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.
Ewwww. That's just gross.
Little Elron ...
SEND a sympathy card. (where'd I come up with 'file'?)
LOL!
Poor kid...
Yup.

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.
Sshhh!
BARF.
Yes, she is a fine, young filly.
I see the baby was a bit early........I guess TOM was hungry.
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."
;-)
Is Tom going out cruising gay bars in North Hollywood tonight handing out cigars?
