Mission: Possible! Tom and Katie's baby Suri takes her first steps

Tom Cruise may be the world's biggest action star famed for dramatic stunts, but right now, all his focus is on baby steps.

The actor and his wife Katie Holmes were on hand to help their one-year-old daughter Suri tackle the tricky terrain of a pebbled beach while holidaying in the south of France.

The doting parents, who are in the country to attend the wedding of Australian media mogul James Packer, spent the day relaxing in the sun and playing with their newly mobile charge.

Holmes has said she loves being with her family: "We're having the best time, it's so amazing."

Earlier, Holmes took to the water with Suri in a black bathing suit and cinched in belt, quietening rumours she's expecting another child.

While in Spain to celebrate David Beckham's last game with Real Madrid, Katie Holmes set tongues wagging after she appeared to have a bump under her clinging mini-dress.

Cruise's agent has also denied the whispers, saying: "They are not expecting a second child."

Well, not yet at least - Holmes has certainly made her intention expand her family very clear.

When asked last month if she and Cruise would like to have more children, she replied: "Yes, definitely."

As well as the couple's 1-year-old daughter Suri, Cruise has two adopted children Isabella, 14, and Conner, 12 with his former wife Nicole Kidman.

Holmes will soon have a new neighbour to swap motherhood stories with.

When they move to California, the Beckhams will live right near the Cruises – or TomKat as they are known in America – and the couples have already started regularly dining together.

The foursome was spotted out on the town after David Beckham helped Real Madrid win the Spanish league title, pipping bitter rivals Barcelona.

He was watched by his family and the Cruises – wearing the obligatory oversized sunglasses – and then it was on to Madrid's top restaurant El Xistu for a post-match meal, and on to Shabay nightclub, where the couples partied until 7am.

Katie was showing off a new sleek bobbed hairstyle. She looked a dead ringer for best friend Posh, reigniting rumours that Victoria has been giving her style advice.

And the similarities are truly head to toe, as her stilettos also showed the distinctive red soles which are the hallmark of Christian Louboutin – Victoria's favourite shoe designer.
