December 9, 2005

WITHIN TEMPTATION frontwoman Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt welcomed their first child, a daughter whose name has not yet been revealed, this past Wednesday night (December 7). "The little girl was in such a hurry that she was born eight weeks earlier than expected," reads a posting on the band's web site. "Her weight is 1,755 gram, she has beautiful, large eyes and dark curly hair. Despite an early start, the girl and her proud parents are in good shape."

Congratulatory letters can be sent to:
