Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning another child, it has been claimed.

According to friends who partied with the pair in New York earlier this week, Katie, 29, wants to have another baby soon; and has been dropping several hints to her husband.

A source told E! Online: “She said she’s got the itch.

“Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister.”

And Tom, adds the source, is “totally into the idea”.

“He said if Katie wants to make another baby, she doesn’t have to ask twice,” said the source. “He always wanted more. It was Katie who has been holding off. Until now.”
