Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had a baby girl on Tuesday, Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson said.
The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long, he said.
“Both mother and daughter are doing well,” Robinson said in a statement.
The name Suri means “princess” in Hebrew or “red rose” in Persian, the statement said.
The baby was born in Los Angeles, but the exact location was not disclosed.
It’s the first child for Holmes, 27, a star of TV’s “Dawson’s Creek.” Cruise, 43, has an adopted daughter and son from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
Details surrounding the birth, which was planned under the tenets of the Church of Scientology as a silent procedure, weren’t disclosed.
In June, Cruise announced at a Paris news conference that he had proposed to Holmes atop the Eiffel Tower. No wedding date has been disclosed.
Ironically, Suri was born the same day as Brooke Shields’ daughter, Grier Hammond Henchy.
Shields and Cruise had a public spat last year after he criticized Shields for taking antidepressants following the birth of her first child.
Cruise said there was no such thing as chemical imbalances that need to be corrected with drugs, and that depression could be treated with exercise and vitamins.
