Ananova:

Katie Holmes is to quit acting.

The actress wants to become a full-time mother.

She is expecting her first child with fiance Tom Cruise early next year reports The Sun.

A source said: "Katie has decided to give up acting altogether. She's been telling friends that she and Tom have decided it is best she stays at home and brings up their new baby.

"Her decision is raising a lot of eyebrows in Hollywood. She is at the perfect age for so many screen roles and has completely closed the door on a promising career."
