Victoria Beckham gives birth to 'happy and healthy' baby girl

Victoria Beckham has given birth to a baby girl, the first daughter for the former Spice Girl and her footballer husband, David. The couple's fourth child, weighing 7lb 10oz, was delivered on Sunday at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. Breaking the news on Twitter, their spokesman, Simon Oliveira, wrote : "David & Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter. Happy and healthy she arrived at 7.55am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and weighed 7lbs 10oz." The Beckhams, who married in 1999, have yet to announce their daughter's name. They have three sons: Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five. In another tweet, Oliveira said: "Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family." Lord Sugar was among the celebrities who congratulated the couple. He tweeted : "Congrats to Beckhams on the birth of their new baby girl!" Singer Beverley Knight wrote : "So chuffed for David and Victoria Beckham! Their lovely baby girl entered the world today!" Victoria, who announced she was expecting a girl in the spring, was known to want a sister for her three boys. In 2005 she told a Spanish magazine she could imagine "painting her nails, putting on make-up and choosing clothes" with a daughter. David Beckham recently posted a picture on Facebook of his heavily pregnant wife with the caption: "Took this pic of Victoria while she wasn't looking. She looks amazing, so close now to the baby being born!"
