Princess Suri

At Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the daughter of the first child, born at the star couple - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, was born to Suri named. “Suri’s name is of ancient origin and means“ princess ”in Hebrew or“ red rose ”in Persian,” explained actor press secretary Arnold Robinson. “Both artists gladly greeted the birth of their little daughter,” said Robinson. - The weight of the baby is 3.4 kg, her height is 50.8 cm. Mother and child feel good. "

For the American actress of 27-year-old Katie Holmes, as for 43-year-old Cruise, Suri became the first child. However, Cruise has two more adopted children: the son of Connor 11 years old and the daughter of Isabella 13 years old, whom he adopted with his ex -wife, Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes began to live together in the spring of 2005, and already in October announced that they were waiting for the baby. From the very beginning of this connection, Cruz, always extremely secretive in everything related to his personal life, emphasized it. Having learned that his beloved is pregnant, the future father acquired an ultrasound apparatus for 200 thousand dollars to control the process of the development of their child. This “irresponsible act” caused a considerable indignation of doctors from the Federal Commission for Monitoring the use of ultrasound, who even threatened to bring the actor to judicial responsibility if he did not stop indulging in a “purely medical device prohibited for sale to private individuals”.

A convinced adherent of the Scientological doctrine, Tom Cruise has been a member of the Scientological Church for twenty years now. In the last interview, he reported that under his influence, Katie Holmes joined the ranks of the parishioners of this church. Scientology preaches that the birth of children should be performed in silence. A woman should give birth in silence, they consider hoinconologists, in no case resorting to painkillers. But the actor managed to convince his counterparts that the postulate of the "childbirth committed in silence" concerns the environment, and not the mother of the child.

“It just means that it is necessary to respect a woman, help her with her silence. This statement cannot touch the woman in labor for objective reasons. Do you imagine all the torments that she has to withstand? So let her just do what she should, o’ke? And this whole story with medicines ... if she needs medicine, then they need to use them, ”Kruz said in an interview. Now he strictly complies with the Scientological vow of silence and refuses to tell reporters about how the birth has passed.
