LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ten months after her whirlwind engagement to movie star Tom Cruise, actress Katie Holmes gave birth on Tuesday to the couple's first child, a girl they named Suri, their spokesman said.
Mother and daughter, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces (3.4 kg) and measured 20 inches at birth, were both "doing well," Cruise's publicist, Paul Bloch, said in a statement.
The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning "princess," or Persian, meaning "red rose," the statement said.
The birth of Cruise's <b>first biological child</b> came in the midst of a promotional campaign for his upcoming film "Mission: Impossible III," which is due in theaters next month.
The 43-year-old three-time Oscar nominee has two older children that he adopted during his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman -- 13-year-old Isabella and 11-year-old Connor.
No further details were revealed about the circumstances of the baby's arrival, such as the family's whereabouts or whether the couple adhered to the Church of Scientology's practice of "silent birth" emphasizing a calm, quiet atmosphere in the delivery room.
Cruise said in a television interview last week that his bride-to-be, who was raised as a Roman Catholic, had joined him as a follower of Scientology. But he insisted that Holmes, 27, was free to take painkillers and "make as much noise" as necessary during the birth.
News of the birth followed a whirlwind Hollywood romance that ranked as one of the most high-profile celebrity courtships in recent memory, one that morphed into the tabloid sensation known as "TomKat."
The couple began dating last April. But in the minds of the public, the early days of their romance date to Cruise's manic, couch-hopping profession of love for Holmes on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in May.
Footage of the twice-divorced Cruise jumping on Winfrey's guest sofa, dropping to one knee to pump his fist and ushering Holmes on stage to declare, "I love this woman!" was replayed repeatedly on television. Bootleg copies sold on eBay for $20.
The "Oprah" appearance triggered suspicions of a publicity stunt to promote the couple's new films -- his "War of the Worlds," and her "Batman Begins." It also made Cruise the butt of countless jokes.
One Web site began hawking "Free Katie" T-shirts, stickers and coffee mugs, a veiled reference to widely circulating jokes that Holmes was being unwittingly indoctrinated by Cruise into the Church of Scientology.
Weeks later, the two announced their engagement at a Paris news conference, saying Cruise had popped the question at the Eiffel Tower. They have not set a wedding date, but Cruise said in a recent interview with GQ magazine that they were looking to tie the knot sometime in late summer or early fall.

keke..SDL,
mine is a cash cheque. newbbi just have to write her account no at the back of the cheque will do. but if you loss it, anyone can just put their account no and bank in.
gals,
to my knowledge, ovalation is between 10 to 15 days from the start of your menses. you will find that you will have "sticky" looking discharge when you ovalate. that's the time, if you wan a boy (also depend on the genes and chance and luck), die die must try. and afterwhich, gals its best to put a pillow under your butt and dun move after "doing".
cos the "male" sperm have a shorter "life" span but "swim" faster. so..... you all knowwhat i mean!!
this is only my 2 cents worth of knowledge only.
NO PROMISE. if try not boy cannot blame me huh!!!

newbbi, no lor cos she moved house a few times and then she got married and i think she changed her hp a few times too...... but i always do hear about her from other friends that i do bump into sometimes..... and i also found out she's staying very near to where i'm staying now.... so more convenient to meet her too....
sdl,
its a crossed cash chq.
it's better but also dangerous cos crossed cash chq need to bank in 1st and if happen to lose it, and if the payer is notified, you can stop the payment immediately.
if cash chq without cross, anyone who pick up can go directly to the bank to cash it.
sdl,
this is what i heard loh.
ting & jenn,
not during menses lah.
its the 10 to 15 days from the start of your menses.
