Speaking to media persons at a news conference in Paris, Cruise said he and Katie are engaged.
“Yes, I proposed to her,” Cruise said.
Holmes, who was also present at the conference, had a sparkling diamond ring on her finger. Often, Tom and Katie turned to each other and shared smiles.
“It was early this morning at the Eiffel Tower…Today is a magnificent day for me, I'm engaged to a magnificent woman,” Cruise said.
Cruise is in Paris to promote the French release of the Steven Spielberg film ‘War of the World’.
