Secrecy contrasts with couple's radically public courtship

NEW YORK (AP) -- Almost three months after the birth of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter, the Shroud of Suri has yet to be lifted.

Suri Cruise has yet to be seen in public, either in person or photographically, since entering the world April 18.

To some, this is a holdout of staggering proportions.

Us Weekly magazine is running a clock, ticking off the days (84 and counting) since Suri's birth. German TV station RTL, taking matters into its own hands, has produced a composite image of what Suri might look like.

TMZ.com, perhaps digging for evidence of Suri's existence, obtained a copy of the official birth certificate, filed May 8 in Los Angeles.

And gossip Web site Defamer.com has called the delay "profoundly strange" and upgraded its suspicion from "mystery" to "riddle that would make the Sphinx incontinent."

Lest anyone rent out milk-carton space, Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson pleads for privacy: "If and when they do make a decision, it will be at their discretion and not anybody else's," he told The Associated Press.

The secrecy is in stark contrast to the couple's radically public courtship. Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, spared no photo-op during their whirlwind romance. They are now engaged, though there has been no word on wedding plans.

The top Invisible Baby theory involves Cruise's Scientology beliefs. The religion's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, was very specific about how infants should be treated, and taught that birth should occur in a silent environment.

Perhaps Cruise believes media attention would bring unwanted distraction -- a sentiment many parents would likely agree with.

Meanwhile, other celebrity babies born since Suri have made their public bows.

The daughter of Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, Grier Hammond Henchy, was revealed weeks ago -- and she was born the same day as Suri.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, was born on May 27 and landed in several magazines by early June.

The recently born children of Gwen Stefani and Rachel Weisz are confirmed to exist.

But Suri remains unseen, which is not unusual for a Cruise child. When he and Nicole Kidman were married, their two adopted children weren't photographed until 1996, when son Conor Anthony was a year old and daughter Isabella Jane was 3.

Given that track record, those counting clocks might still have a while to tick.

yep, he keeps his kids very private. I don't think we will see a pic of this kid for a LONG time!

Yeah he didn't show his adopted children for a really long time, so there is no doubt that we won't see Suri for years.... I'd be shocked if we did....

I have no doubt the baby is being kept private. But even I find it odd that Tom, who is usually VERY private about EVERYTHING in his life, flaunted her pregnancy and made SOOO much of it public only to not even make a statement about the baby etc. Thats the only thing I find weird :dunno I mean he IS a private person. VERY VERY. And then when he started dating Katie and when she got pregnant thats ALL you heard about. Was Tom talking about this, or talking about that. Who knows. Plus I am sure he is enjoying all the speculation going on about him heh

Exactly who do his adopted children live with? I always wondered that...also, why did they adopt? Just because or could Nicole not have children?
edited because I hate errors lol

I am not sure how I feel on this one...Part of me thinks the whole thing was made up to boast his rating. I find it odd that not even Friends have seen the baby.

Who knows!!!

I'll believe there is a baby when I see the baby. It just seems a little odd that no one has seen this kid in months!

Nicole and Tom share th kids equally. I read about that when they first split. I think they adopted because they wanted a family but did not have time for the pregnancy. They were both very busy career wise their entire marriage.

However I did just read that when they split Nicole was 3 months pregnant. And she later went on to have a miscarraige :(

I do remember reading about that also but her career had also slowed down quite a bit at the point in comparison to even a year before.

Personally I was in total shock that they divorced. I thought for sure they would be married forever.
