Already parents to three boys, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8 1/2, and Cruz, 6 1/2, the couple were surprised to be welcoming a girl. The couple announced that they were expecting a girl in March, David then said "Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon."
Baby girl Beckham weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz./3400 grams. Her name hasn't been made public yet.
Congrats to the Beckham family!
UPDATE: The British DailyMail reports that the newest Beckham has been named Harper Seven. David Beckham updated his Facebook status. It reads "I am so proud and exited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx"
The DailyMail quotes a friend of the Beckhams with regards to their name choice, "Harper is an old English name, something Victoria has always liked. Seven is a very lucky number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month." Sports fans will also immediately notice that number 7 was David's jersey number for Manchester United and the English national team.
The DailyMail also reports that little Harper was born via a Caesarean section, just like her older brothers. Also, the girl reportedly is the spitting image of mum Victoria, when she was a baby.
