LOS ANGELES - Courteney Cox Arquette has a new friend: a baby girl named Coco, a spokeswoman for the couple said Monday.

The “Friends” co-star and her husband, actor David Arquette, became parents Sunday morning, said the spokeswoman for BWR Public Relations, which represents both.

“Everyone’s happy and healthy and that’s what I have,” their representative told The Associated Press.

The actress, who turns 40 Tuesday, gave birth about a week before her scheduled delivery date, according to People magazine. The couple’s spokeswoman declined to confirm that information.

Cox Arquette, whose “Friends” TV character struggled to have a child, has disclosed that in real life she suffered several miscarriages before her successful pregnancy.

“I get pregnant pretty easily, but I have a hard time keeping them,” she said last October, revealing that she and her husband had decided to conceive by in vitro fertilization.

The couple married in June 1999.

Arquette, 32, has co-starred in films including “Never Been Kissed” and “Eight Legged Freaks.” He also appeared with his wife in all three of the “Scream” movies.
