Nic and Katie’s baby race

Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes

Nicole Kidman hires a fertility specialist, while Katie Holmes is seen leaving a clinic after promising husband Tom Cruise a second child. Naomi Toy writes.

WITH RUMOURS mounting that Katie Holmes is feeling the pressure to have a second child with husband Tom Cruise, the 31-year-old actress seemed anything but happy last week as she left the Wilshire Medical Center in LA draped in a loose-fitting coat.

Because Tom, who turns 48 in July, is eager to have another child before he turns 50, it’s suspected that Katie will again have to put her career aside.

“Tom isn’t being selfish, he really wants to give Suri a brother or sister,” a friend of the actor reveals. “He sees how close his two oldest kids, Isabella and Connor, are to each other and he wants to make sure Suri has a sibling close to her age to grow up with.”

For her part, Katie has cleared her schedule for this year, with no movies or major work commitments coming up. But with the star receiving good reviews for her comeback role in The Romantics at the recent Sundance Film Festival, she is now having second thoughts about walking away from acting.
