Courtney Cox is a mom

People Forum

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Former "Friends" star Courteney Cox and her husband, actor David Arquette, became parents early Sunday, after years of trying, People magazine reported.

Cox, who turns 40 Tuesday, gave birth to a girl in an unidentified Los Angeles hospital, according to a report on the Web site for People magazine, http://www.people.com.

The magazine said Cox checked into the hospital Saturday, a week before the baby's due date and was in labor through the night. The baby has yet to be named, it said.

Cox and Arquette, 32, have been widely quoted discussing their attempts to carry a baby to term.

Cox has just finished the 10th and final season of NBC's popular sitcom, "Friends." The couple are co-producers of a home decorating show, "Mix It Up."

Little old to be having a kid, wont ya say?

She has been trying for a very long time. All the pain she went through to try to carry a baby to term. She has been through a lot. This child is very wanted and will be very loved. I think it also depends on the parent, but for me that would be too old. I had my last kid when I was 32. That was old enough for me.

Not in Hollywood....those gals out there are having kids at all ages.

Geena Davis just had twins and she's what? 50?

40 isnt so bad...but when people start having kids at 50...I think its not fair to the kids....but thats just my opinion.

I dont know...many people are waiting to have kids these days...40 really isnt "old age" or anything.

Anyhow..they were trying for awhile...so I think its great they finally were able to have the child they wanted.

FIfty is way too old. Forty is the cut off age for me thinking it is too old. Get over 40, and you are too old. I think that many women assume that they can put it off because INVITRO is out there, but it has only like a 25% success rate.

If your 40 then you will be like close to 60 when they are done with High School

Her babies name is Coco. .... Coco. .... For God's sake.

Okay Schmiggens...now I have to agree with you.

Where do these people come up with these names??

Coco? For goodness sake!

That almost as bad as Gweneth Paltrow's kid name: Apple.

Are they just trying to outdo one another or something or give their kid some sort of complex?

Good grief...that name is stupid!

No. ( ), but her last name is Cox. Coco Cox??

(well Cox-Arquette I guess actually)?

Coco. I am starting to wonder what drugs they give to celebrity moms during labor. Honestly!

COX ARQUETTE WANTS SECOND CHILD

Courteney Cox Arquette is already planning baby number two -- just months after giving birth to Coco.

The former "Friends" star, 40, is desperate to give birth to a second child with husband David Arquette and is allegedly in talks with the fertility experts she consulted for her daughter.

A source says, "She's already talked to doctors about getting pregnant again.

"But she's 40, so time is not on her side."

They make it out like being 40 means your almost dead. I know what they mean though, with all the trouble she had concieving Coco (she had three miscarriages I think) if she wants another baby it's only going to get harder for her to conceive as time goes by.

Good luck to them. But PLEASE don't let them pick the kids name this time
Coco!

ARQUETTE EXPLAINS REASONS FOR NAMING DAUGHTER COCO

Courteney Cox and David Arquette decided to call their daughter Coco because it would have worked against Jewish tradition to name her after the former "Friends" star.

Cox and Arquette caused a stir when they chose to give their first offspring the unusual name after her June birth, but the actor explains that it was best compromise they could make while respecting each other's family traditions, by using the first two letters of Cox's names -- Co-Co.

He says, "Courteney comes from the south and her mother's name's Courteney Cox and she's Courteney Cox and she wanted to name our kid Courteney Cox, but I'm half Jewish. My mother was Jewish, so it's sort of against the Jewish tradition to (name a child) after somebody who's living."

I guess that makes sense ... kind of...... ???

They could have just called her C-C. or spelt Couteney different or something. Co-Co is still a stupid name.

So cute.

I thought CoCo was older than that by now, but she's obviously not.
