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.” Want to congratulate Tony and his girlfriend on their new baby?
