Tom Cruise is adamant that his wife Katie Holmes put on more weight so they can conceive their second child, according to a new report.

The actor is said to be anxious to get the ball rolling on baby number two, now that Katie has finished her run in Broadway play All My Sons.

A source tells Now, "Tom believes Katie needs to focus on their family again.

"She’s had her time being 'Katie Holmes' instead of just Tom's wife, but in return she agreed to have a second child as soon as that time's over. In Tom's eyes, that's now."

The source adds, "Tom badly wants a baby. He thinks that if Katie has a little more weight on her, it'll help the conception and also be healthier for her and the baby during pregnancy.

"As far as Tom's concerned, he kept his side of the bargain by allowing Katie to concentrate on her career; now it’s time for her to keep hers."

Tom recently told reporters that it has always been his dream to become a father of not one or two, but 10 kids.

Good luck Katie!
