No Doubt have added a little member to the band, as bassist Tony Kanal and his longtime girlfriend, Erin Lokitz, welcomed a new daughter on Monday. The baby, named Coco Reese Lakshmi Kanal, is the first child for both.
Kanal, 40, made the announcement via No Doubt's website in a post titled "TONY + ERIC = COCO." The message reads, "Welcome to the world our gorgeous daughter Coco Reese Lakshmi Kanal. She entered our lives on January 24, 2011. Mom, Dad and Baby are happy and in love."
Baby Coco joins the other No Doubt offspring all of the other band members have children as well including Gwen Stefani's two sons with husband Gavin Rossdale Kingston and Zuma.
2011 should be a year for big news and arrivals for No Doubt. In September of last year, Kanal spoke with Billboard about the band recording again after nearly a decade since their last studio release, 2001's Rock Steady.
"I swear, we're having more fun than we've ever had writing a record before," Kanal told the magazine, adding, "I think [because] it's been a while, but also because we're older ... the fact that we're still doing it together after 24 years you know, working on music I think we really appreciate that."
