Entertainment Tonight reports that the actress said in an interview in the upcoming issue of Us Weekly that she visited the baby several weeks ago.
"She's a newborn and normal size!" Remini said.
Like Tom Cruise, Remini is a member of the Church of Scientology.
Even though they had a very public courtship, Cruise and Holmes have not presented their baby in public and so far haven't inked a deal with a magazine for exclusive photos of the baby.
Conspiracy theories abound in the tabloid press and on blogs about why baby Suri hasn't been seen. Some even speculate that the baby doesn't exist at all, while others point out that Tom Cruise also kept his two adopted children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, out of the public eye when they were little.
As for Suri, a family friend described the baby as "a cross between the two – [with] dark, straight hair and dark eyes."
