The couple, who have been engaged since June 2005, plan to marry in late summer or early autumn, according to Cruise.
Spokesman Paul Bloch said in a statement that the couple “joyously welcomed” the arrival of their daughter.
The baby’s name, Suri, came from Hebrew, meaning “princess” or Persian, meaning “red rose”, the statement said.
