'We're so happy and very excited!' Victoria Beckham tweets after announcing she is expecting fourth child

By Sarah Bull, Liz Thomas and Ben Todd



Happy news: David and Victoria kept their heads down as they arrived back at their Hertfordshire mansion last night after announcing they are expecting their fourth child


She's never made a secret of her desire to have another baby, so it's no wonder Victoria Beckham is struggling to contain her excitement about welcoming a fourth child into her family.

The 36-year-old star, who confirmed yesterday she is expecting another baby with husband David, thanked fans this morning for their well wishes.

She wrote on her Twitter page: 'Thank u so much for your kind and beautiful messages!!!we are all so happy and very excited!!!!!!x vb x'


Thrilled: Victoria took to her Twitter page this morning to thank fans for their well wishes after announcing the news


It is thought the Beckhams are hoping for a girl to add to their brood after having three boys – Brooklyn, now 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.

The baby is expected in the summer, but close friends say the couple do not want to know the sex of the child before it is born.

Beckham posted details on his Facebook page telling fans and friends: ‘I’ve got great news to tell you. Victoria and I are expecting a fourth child this summer.

'The boys are very excited about the arrival of their new brother or sister.’

The couple are understood to have told extended friends and family over the weekend – hosting a celebratory dinner last night.

The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer has often hinted at her desire for a daughter.

She said in one interview that should could imagine ‘painting her nails, putting on make-up, and choosing clothes’ with her.

Last year, she said: ‘Everyone keeps asking me if I would like to have a little girl and I think, at some point, if I am lucky enough to have another baby, that would be great.

'If I am blessed enough.’

But in recent months she has been more circumspect – even telling the forthcoming issue of Vogue in which she is cover star: ‘Maybe one day another baby, but at this stage I think the chances of a girl are quite slim.’

Sources close to Mrs Beckham told the Daily Mail that she plans to work through as much of her pregnancy as possible insisting it is ‘business as usual’ – as she has for her previous three.

She will have to have another Caesarean section because of the risks of a natural birth after already having had the operation.

The couple, who have been married for almost 12 years, have put on a show of unity in recent months after being dogged by allegations that Beckham had been unfaithful.

They filed a lawsuit against a U.S. magazine that alleged he slept with a prostitute. Beckham has also denied claims in court papers by the ex-husband of Hollywood jeweller Shery Shabani that she had an affair with him.

The couple are in Britain until the end of February while she prepares her latest collection for fashion week in London and New York, and he trains with Tottenham Hotspur before returning to the U.S. for the start of the football season there.

The couple’s main home is a £14million mansion in Beverly Hills but they have yet to decide where they will live once his contract with LA Galaxy expires in November.


Excited: David said the boys - Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo - are very excited about the prospect of a new sibling


Announcement: Proud father David put the news on his official Facebook page


Beckham, 35, had been in talks with Tottenham to return on a ten-week loan but the deal fell through.

Speculation had increased that they would return to the UK after they put on hold plans to sell their £18million home in Hertfordshire, known as Beckingham Palace.

Last month, David spoke publicly of his love for his wife after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sports Personality of the Year Awards.

He said: ‘Not only has she given me three amazing boys... she is truly an inspiration for me every single day.’

They met in 1997 and married in 1999. They are now worth an estimated £150million.

Victoria joins former Spice Girl bandmate Emma Bunton in being pregnant. They were both at Gordon Ramsay's recent Christmas party, after which Posh drove home.


Congratulations: Kylie Minogue was one of the first celebrities to send her best wishes on Twitter


From one pregnant woman to another: Amanda Holden, who is expecting her second child in March, also sent her congratulations


Among the first to congratulate the fashion designer was Kylie Minogue, who wrote on her Twitter page: 'WOW... congratulations to Victoria Beckham and David... fourth child on the way.'

TV Presenter Amanda Holden, who is pregnant with her second child, added: 'Great news that the Beckhams are expecting their fourth child. Hope they get a pink one.'

While the Beckhams' long-term business partner Simon Fuller said: 'I'm absolutely thrilled for them. Family means everything to David and Victoria and this is simply the best news they and the boys could have wished for at the start of 2011.'

Last month, David spoke publicly of his love for his wife after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sports Personality of the Year Awards.

He said: 'Of course, I want to thank my wife and my children. Not only has she given me three amazing boys... she is truly an inspiration for me every single day.'

In the audience alongside her three boys, Victoria struggle to hold back the tears as her husband received the prestigious honour.

Within hours of the announcement, bookmakers Paddy Power were already taking bets on the unborn child's name.

Among the most popular bets were Sandra - David's mother's name - and David Jnr, with 10/1 and 21/1 odds respectively.

Some of the wackier suggestions were for Pele with 200/1 and Galaxy at 200/1.
