Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have denied reports that they split shortly before Valentine's Day.

Life & Style magazine reported yesterday that the couple had split up before Valentine's Day and had agreed that they would merely retain the "charade" of romance until after the birth of their first child.

Spokesman Paul Bloch has since said for the pair: "It should be known that the story [of a break-up] is 100 percent false.

"Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child. Despite the malicious fallacies put forth ... the couple is looking forward to a long and happy life together as a family."

In an ABC interview last year the couple announced their plans for marriage, but have yet to set a formal date for the event.
