Tom Cruise and fiancée Katie Holmes have signed a £22 million prenuptial agreement.

The couple - who welcomed their baby daughter, Suri, into the world last month - spent weeks thrashing out the details of the financial agreement, which determines who gets which assets if they split.

An £8 million trust has already been set up for mother and baby regardless of whether the couple wed.

But if they do marry and divorce, the 'Batman Begins' star will allegedly receive an extra £14 million from Tom.

The pair have decided to get married this July now the prenup has been finalised, according to a report in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

Katie's parents - who allegedly had concerns about their daughter's rapid romance and her willingness to embrace Tom's Scientology beliefs - are believed to be more comfortable with the marriage now the agreement has been finalised.

A source said: "Katie's family have always been very sceptical about their romance. They were shocked that Katie got pregnant so quickly and didn't like the way she had turned her back on Catholicism for Scientology.

"But now this deal has been sorted they are at least relieved that Katie and her baby will be financially secure for life, even if she doesn't marry Tom."
