"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes's attorney Jonathan Wolfe told People magazine. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
Cruise recently told People magazine that he was happy with the three children he has, with Kidman amd Holmes. The eldest, Isabella, is 19, Conor is 17, and Suri, Cruise's only biological child, is 6.
"I'm enjoying every second with Suri that I have. And I'm enjoying the relationship with my older kids, and the way it is right now," he told People magazine.
Cruise and Holmes reported did sign a prenuptial agreement, according to entertainment blog TMZ, and that the couple's net worth is around $275 million, though Cruise contributed to the majority of that.
