David and Victoria Beckham have welcomed a new addition to their family, a 7lbs 10oz baby girl named Harper Seven Beckham.
The birth took place by Caesarean at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday.
"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."
Friends of the couple were quick to send their congratulations.
Mel B, 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!"
Another former Spice Girl Emma Bunton also tweeted: "Big kiss to @victoriabeckham can't wait to meet your gorgeous little girl!"
David's sister Joanne added: "Big congrats to my sister in law @victoriabeckham and my big bro on the birth of my beautiful niece :) can't wait 2 see u all xx."
The couple, who married in 1999, already have three boys - Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.
But one question lingers: How did the Beckhams ever arrive at the name Harper, let alone Seven?
"Harper is an old English name something Victoria has always liked," a close friend of the couple told reporters.
"Seven is a very lucky happy number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month."
