Cruise and Holmes expecting child

Holmes romanticised about marrying Cruise as a young girl

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have announced they are expecting their first child together, six months after they began dating.

War of the Worlds star Cruise, 43, and Holmes, 27, got engaged in June after a two-month whirlwind romance.

Cruise’s publicist, his sister Lee Anne DeVette, said: “Katie is pregnant. They are expecting a baby.”

She declined to give details of the due date but said Batman Begins actress Holmes had “never felt better”.

“They are very excited,” added Ms DeVette.

The couple have yet to announce their wedding date.
