Baby girl for the Beckhams

Victoria Beckham has given birth to a baby girl – the first daughter for the former Spice Girl and her husband David.

The baby, weighing 7lb 10oz, was delivered on Sunday morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.

The Beckhams, who married in 1999, already have three boys – Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.

Their spokesman Simon Oliveira announced the happy news on Twitter.

“David & Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter,” he wrote.

In another posting, he added: “Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family.”

The family has yet to announce a name for the little girl.

Just days ago the LA Galaxy star, 36, posted a picture of his heavily pregnant wife on Facebook.

Beneath the shot – in which the singer-turned-designerappeared to be sunbathing – he wrote: “Took this pic of Victoria while she wasn’t looking. She looks amazing, so close now to the baby being born!”
