    Stefani and her baby are "happy and healthy" following the birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, publicist Dave Tomberlin said in a statement. Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale weighs 8.5 pounds, Tomberlin said.

    Stefani, 38, and Rossdale, 40, have one other child, a son named Kingston who was born in 2006.

    The California-born Stefani rose to fame with the band No Doubt in the 1990s, scoring hit songs such as "Just a Girl" and "Don't Speak." Her 2004 album "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." became a breakout solo hit.

    Stefani and Rossdale, who gained fame in the British rock band Bush, married in 2002.
