Former No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani has given birth to her second child in Los Angeles.

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale was born at 12.46pm (local time) at Cedars Sinai hospital weighing 8.5oz.

Zuma joins Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale's first child, Kingston.

In a statement, the family said: "Kingston, Gwen and Gavin Rossdale welcomed the newest member of their family. Mother, baby and family are all happy and healthy.”

Earlier this year, Stefani, who has forged a successful solo career, confirmed that she was working on new material with No Doubt.

It is expected to emerge in 2009.
