Tom Cruise has had a Baby Princess

Katie Holmes yesterday gave birth to a baby girl.

In a statement last night, the Dawson Creek star's and Tom Cruise's representative told reporters that the couple had "joyously welcomed the arrival of a baby girl, called Suri".

The child's name apparently means "princess" in Hebrew or "red rose" in Persian, said the representative, adding: "The child weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches in length.

Both mother and daughter are doing well." Little Suri was born in a hospital in LA in the end, despite Cruise having equipped his mansion for a home birth.
