Gwen and Gavin Birth a Brother for Kingston

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second little prince today, E! News has confirmed.

Son Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale was born Thursday at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, joining 2-year-old brother Kingston in the musically inclined couple's burgeoning brood.

The family's newest addition arrived at 12:46 p.m., weighing 8.5 pounds.

"Mother, baby and family are all happy and healthy," a rep for the couple said in a statement.

Stefani set tongues wagging early this morning when she was spotted checking into Cedars, around which the paparazzi immediately set up camp.

A clean-shaven Rossdale, clad in jeans and a black shirt, was spotted earlier this afternoon running through the maternity ward, looking for his wife's birthing suite.

"Run, daddy, run!" shouted a super excited Kingston, who was leading his father along.

Stefani had looked ready to burst for some time. In fact, today wasn't the first time a hospital run set off the stork alert.

On Aug. 7, the No Doubt frontwoman also got paparazzi in a tizzy when she showed up at Cedars-Sinai for what turned out to be a simple 30-minute checkup.

News of the pregnancy first broke back in January, when Gavin's father, Douglas Rossdale, confirmed the bun in the oven.
