Gwen Stefani Said Pregnant With First Baby

[JenMarie]

Gwen Stefani, nominated for five Grammy Awards including album of the year for "Love.Angel.Music.Baby.," is pregnant with her first child, according to Us Weekly.

The 36-year-old pop star and Gavin Rossdale, 38, were married three years ago. The baby is due in June, the magazine reported Tuesday.

"We are delighted," Us Weekly quotes Rossdale's father, Douglas, as saying. Stefani's mother, Patti, also reportedly confirmed the pregnancy to the magazine.

An e-mail from The Associated Press to Stefani's representative wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.

Rossdale has a 16-year-old daughter, Daisy Lowe, from his relationship with fashion designer Pearl Lowe. He discovered he was the father in 2004 after taking a DNA test.

"Love.Angel.Music.Baby." is Stefani's first solo album. It includes one of the biggest songs of the year, "Hollaback Girl." That infectious single also earned Stefani a nomination for record of the year and best female pop vocal performance.

She is the lead singer of No Doubt and a budding fashion designer.

The British-born Rossdale fronted the rock band Bush, which released the popular 1994 album, "Sixteen Stone." They last released the 2001 album, "Golden State," as well as a greatest hits CD in November.

OK, I know it was reported in a Tabloid originally... but if it's true... it should be a good looking kid.

I don't think it's Gavin's baby.

It's her friend that she constantly sings about in 99% of her songs.

You mean her ex-boyfriend and No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal? Doubt it. (c;

Not that I'm a Gwen freak or anything.

I am happy for Gwen, hasn't she wanted a baby for a while now ?

Hey baby! Gwen Stefani's a mom.

The No Doubt frontwoman and her rocker hubby, Gavin Rossdale, welcomed their first child together, a baby boy they named Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, according to a statement from their rep.

The baby was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and weighed in at seven pounds, eight ounces. Us Weekly, which first reported the arrival on its website, claimed he was delivered by C-section. Both mother and child were said to be doing well.

It's the first child for Stefani, and the second for Rossdale, who has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Stefani first announced her pregnancy during a performance in December, telling the crowd during a singalong, "I want you to say it loud enough so the baby hears it!"

The "Hollaback Girl" singer and the Bush frontman, who currently heads up the band Institute, tied the knot in September 2002 after dating for six years.

In recent years, Stefani has made no secret of her eagerness to have children with Rossdale, often alluding to her maternal instinct in song lyrics and interviews.

However, the timing of her pregnancy wasn't as ideal as it could have been, coinciding as it did with her tour in support of her Grammy-nominated solo album Love.Angel.Music.Baby.

"I found out I was pregnant right before I went on tour, and I was like, 'No, I have nine costume changes and high heels and bathing suits,'" Stefani said in February. "I just wanted to say, 'You don't understand, I'm really sick.'"

But the L.A.M.B. mastermind stuck it out, touring up until she was four-and-a-half months pregnant.

"It was a little bit ridiculous," she said.

Now that her son has arrived, Stefani might not have as much time as she might like for maternity leave.

Earlier this month, No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal told MTV that the band has started laying the early groundwork for its next album, minus the new mom, for now.

"We're easing into it," Kanal said. "We're taking it very slowly, kind of just going in and writing here and there."

The band's most recent offering of new material was 2001's Rock Steady.

Kingston is a bad ass name. I like it, but seriously, why isn't he Kingston STEFANI? She's way cooler than dude.

[sigirl]

Kingston = terrible name.

However, given how hot the two of them are, I really expect for theirs to be one of the hottest babies ever.

[UKDaisy]

YAY!

Yay for Gwen and hubby.

I kinda dig the name Kingston.
