Victoria Beckham bore the first girl for David!
Elena Vnorovscaia / Chişinău / Moldova.ORG / -- “I am so proud and excited 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”, said footballer Beckham on his Facebook page.
David Beckham's Facebook statement said his 37-year-old wife was "doing really well" following the birth.
Little Harper Seven is the first girl for David and Victoria, 37, who've been married for 12 years and have been raising sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6. The Beckhams' sons were said to be "delighted to have a sister".
Healthy Harper Seven Beckham arrived at 7.55 am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and weighed 7lbs 10oz.
Friends of the couple are sending their congratulations:
Mel B, ex-spice sporty girl, who is expecting her third child later this year, expressed her excitement on Twitter, writing: "congrats!!! Yipeee another spice baby is born, damn it wish it was me this AM cos I feel like I'm about to POP!"
Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton also tweeted: "Big kiss to @victoriabeckham can't wait to meet your gorgeous little girl!"
Talking about the name Harper, it is not unusual in the US. But what about her numerical middle name? The number of sevens in that sentence can display the fact that Harper was born in the seventh month.
Another version is that dad's old soccer jersey number when he played for Manchester United and England was “7”. Beckham had to give up the "7" jersey number when he joined Spain's Real Madrid team, because the number was already assigned to team captain Raul.
Recall that previously Mrs Beckham was one of The Spice Girls, who dominated the music charts in the late 90s. She married David in 1999.
David Beckham is England's most capped outfield player and a former captain, and won six Premier League titles and the Champions League with Manchester United.
