London:
They have both expressed their desire for a daughter and David and Victoria Beckham may finally have a girl with the couple announcing that they are expecting their fourth child.
The football heartthrob and the former Spice Girl, already have three boys, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.
Beckham, 35, made the news public on his Facebook page writing, "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 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, reported Daily Mail online.
Victoria, 36, who now has a very successful career as a fashion designer, has often spoken about 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. I can imagine painting her nails, putting on make-up, and choosing clothes with her," she had said in an earlier interview.
The couple, who have been married for almost 12 years, had 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 US 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 US for the start of the football season there.
