Born at the same hospital as Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The two little girls, whose parents were virtually "enemies," were even born on the same day.

What they said:

Having Grier has calmed Brooke in relation to when she is no longer with her children;

I realize that they will have each other when we aren’t here anymore. And to me, that really settles my mind.

Big sister Rowan’s reaction to Grier;

[Rowan] shared her blanket with her [Grier] so that was a huge step…she put her blanket in the bassinet and said ’she might need this’.

What Grier is like!

Grier came out like "la-la-la!" with little fairies flying around her head.
