According to late news, Hollywood couple Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise has conceived the baby "the natural way" and not with the help of IVF, as it was rumored.

Carol Zydorczyk, Holmes's aunt, has declared during an interview for a magazine that Katie remained pregnant thanks to the traditional method. She says: "I can assure you they did it the old fashioned way."

One week ago, Cruise and Holmes announced that they're expecting their first child, only four months after the engagement.

According to People magazine, Tom Cruise's publicist confirmed the news, stating: "Katie is pregnant. She has never felt better!". Cruise's sister, Lee Anne DeVette, on the same subject: "They are expecting a baby. They are very excited".

The wedding date has not yet been confirmed. This will be Katie's first child and Tom's third. Cruise is currently sharing custody with his ex-wife, actress Nicole Kidman, to whom he was married from December 24, 1990 until August 8, 2001, of two adopted children, Isabella (born 1993) and Connor (born 1995).

Twice-married Cruise, 43, and Holmes, 26, met in April 2005. After only two months of dating, Tom proposed Katie at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
