David and Victoria Beckham Expecting Fourth Child

By Christine Fenno Posted Jan 9th 2011 12:40PM

David Beckham's home team is growing, as the soccer star and his designer wife are happily looking forward to having a baby this year.

"David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to confirm they are expecting their fourth child in the summer," says a spokesperson, according to PEOPLE.

The new addition to the family will join three big brothers, ages 11, 8 and 5 years old. "Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are very excited about the arrival of their new brother or sister," the rep adds.

Victoria Beckham, 36 (who recently admitted to going under the knife to reverse breast augmentation and regain a more natural look), shared her thoughts on motherhood just last year.

"You know when you get a TV, you get a manual? Well, there isn't one for motherhood," she said in Marie Claire magazine. "I'm constantly trying to figure it out and questioning whether I'm doing it right. But I'm so proud my kids. They are very well-mannered. We've always been very strict with the kids. That's the way David and myself were brought up. But they're free spirits as well."

In August, she denied reports that she was pregnant. On Ryan Seacrest's radio show, the former singer known as Posh Spice explained, "Everybody keeps asking me that, but three boys? That's a lot."

Meanwhile, her husband (dogged by rumors of infidelity in 2010) returns to join his LA Galaxy teammates in February after training in London for the upcoming soccer season. Beckham opened up in the British press back in 2009 about his dream of having a daughter: "I really want more kids and I hope it happens soon. I want a little girl. That would be amazing."

How tacky and selfish to have a 4th child. The planet is overpopulated as it is. What do they do to help sustain our environment? Nothing.

How in the crap is having 4 children tacky and selfish? My Mom had 4 kids and now she's the envy of all the women she knows because she has 9 grandchildren! People with large families don't grow old alone. Those people who choose themselves over having children or a family, die alone without love. I say if you're happy and can afford to feed them and clothe them, go for it. Who are we to tell you how many kids you can/cannot have!

I'll have you know that the population of this world is actually slowing down. More people are not having children to replenish themselves, at least not in the United States. In fact, if it weren't for immigration, our population would be declining.

But I do have to agree with you, humans have kind of overpopulated this world. The natural environment is wearing away and that's really sad. But I don't think this couple is selfish for wanting more children.

I hope its a girl too.

By Stephanye

She's beautiful & maybe she doesn't look so happy out in public because of all you judgemental people!

She'd probably tell you to get a life, too.

In the business that I am in- beautiful women tend not to smile as much as ordinary women, I'm serious. I am not saying that ALL beautiful women never smile or are viewed as unhappy, look at all the beautiful women world-wide....... I hope Victoria is the type of woman that is a total riot at home in private rather than what she portrays in front of the media- how very sad to go through life NOT SMILING OR AT THE VERY LEAST, A SMIRK.. any facial gesture would proof that Victoria isn't the Ice-Queen!

Seriously.... that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! What, did you take a poll or something?

By Mark O'Brien

I couldn't agree with you more!! Hot females know their hot so no smiling means we have to try harder hehehe challenging creatures.

By Ted Bundy

Is that what you tell yourself because you can't get laid?

My goodness BLONDIE are you bitter much?!

By elvira walker

Why in the world does this woman always look soooo sad. She never smiles. Is that on purpose?

By Bruno-Lynn

I do hope she will eat a wholesome, well-balanced diet now that she is pregnant again, because it is very important for the health of the baby.
