Tom Cruise with daughter Suri CruiseTom Cruise is reportedly desperate to have a second child with wife Katie Holmes because he wants a little brother for his son Connor.

Tom and Katie welcomed daughter Suri in April 2006 - a little sister for Connor and his older sister Isabella from Tom’s marriage to Nicole Kidman - but after Nicole also had a little girl, Sunday, in July, the Moulin Rouge star revealed that Connor wants a brother too.

But a source told OK magazine: “At 41, Nicole knows she’s not likely to have another baby. It’s obviously up to the much younger Katie to give Connor that baby brother.

“Katie and Tom very much want another baby [too].

“There may be no better time than now for Katie to get pregnant again and absolutely nothing would make Tom happier.”

Katie is currently appearing in All My Sons on Broadway.
