“I’ve got some great news to tell you all,” David wrote on Facebook. “Victoria and I are expecting our fourth child this summer. The boys are very excited about the arrival of a new brother or sister.”

Congratulating the couple, Simon Fuller, Victoria’s manager 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.”

Kylie Minogue, 42, Tweeted, “Wow…congratulations to Victoria Beckham and David. Fourth child on the way.”

The latest addition to the Beckham family is due in the summer and Victoria has made no secret of her desire for a daughter.

“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,” she said.

However more recently she appeared to have given up on her dream of a sister for her three sons saying, “Maybe one day another baby, but at this stage I think the chances of a girl are quite slim.”
