Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson both give birth


VICTORIA Beckham and Kate Hudson have both given birth overnight.
Hudson gave birth to a boy and Beckham popped out a long-awaited girl.

The Beckham's rep confirmed to E! online that Beckham gave birth today to a healthy baby girl.

The rep said in a statement: "David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter. Happy and healthy, she arrived at 7:55 a.m. this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family."

Meanwhile, Hudson and her fiancé Matt Bellamy have welcomed a son.

The 32-year-old actress gave birth to a 'healthy baby boy' in Los Angeles last night her rep has confirmed to Us Weekly.

Hudson is also mother to seven-year-old Ryder who will play big brother to the new addition to their family.

A Posh name for the new arrival

Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo… David and Victoria Beckham have never been shy about picking intriguing names for their kids, so what will they name their first daughter?

“There is no name as yet. They are going to spend a little time getting to know her before choosing the name,” a friend told The Daily Mail.


The hot money is on the couple will pick a name that pays homage to their adopted homeland, with one report suggesting Beverly is an option.

But, if the Beckhams do decide to stick to the celebrity playbook, they’ll be looking to everything from place names, to days of the week, and even fruit for inspiration for a moniker for their newborn bub.

The birth took place by Caesarean at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.

The baby weighed 7lbs 10oz and is the first girl for the couple after three boys Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six.

Mrs Beckham, the former Spice Girl, has previously spoken of her desire to have a daughter.

After the birth a spokesman said: "Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family."

The couple were aware that the baby was to be a girl. In March, Beckham told People magazine: "Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon,."


Last week the player took a photograph of his heavily pregnant wife in a bikini, when she wasn't looking, and posted it on Facebook.

She had previously told Women's Wear Daily that she did not like being photographed when pregnant, saying last month: "I don't think anyone needs to see that, other than my husband. Absolutely not."

David Beckham met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they arrived in Los Angeles on Friday night. On Saturday he scored the winning goal in a game for his team, LA Galaxy.

Friends of the couple were quick to send their congratulations.

A delighted 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!"

Harper Seven Beckham: baby daughter's name provokes bemusement

The bizarre name - Harper Seven - chosen by the Beckham for their first baby daughter has provoked widespread bafflement.

Speculation is rife as to why the couple have chosen Harper Seven, with theories linking it to the time of the birth to Victoria Beckham’s love of the magazine Harper’s Bazaar.

Hundreds of the couple’s fans took to Twitter to congratulate the pair on their new baby, who was born yesterday at 7.55am at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.

But dozens of baffled users also questioned the Beckham parents’ choice of name and joked about a possible communication error with doctors.

“Harper Seven is how I’d imagine Beckham would announce what time she was born,” mocked @jazzchantoozie.

A second user @ekathure suggested the name sounded “like a serious infection” while another commented “are they serious?” and “poor kid”.


In a statement on his Facebook page, a delighted David Beckham said: “I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham.
“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”
The Beckhams, who married in 1999, already have three boys - Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.
Earlier, the Beckham’s spokesman Simon Oliveira announced the happy news on Twitter.
“David & Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter,” he wrote.
“Happy and healthy she arrived at 7.55am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and weighed 7lbs 10oz.”
In another posting, he added: “Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family.”
Whether the name Harper is a tribute to the author Harper Lee or even the publisher of Mr Beckham’s autobiography HarperCollins is anyone's guess, although Seven is more obviously a reference to his shirt number in his Manchester United days.
Over recent years dozens of celebrities have marked their children out in the playground by giving them a strange name.
Giving the Beckhams a run for their money have been Jamie and Jools Oliver with their brood of children who seem to have taken their inspiration from a country meadow, or a Winnie The Pooh story.
Poppy Honey was followed by Daisy Boo, then Petal Blossom Rainbow and finally Buddy Bear.
Jonathan Ross's family have not escaped either, with children Betty Kitten, Honey Kinney and Harvey Kirby.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin have often opted to be low-key, keeping their relationship out of the spotlight. But they went for attention-grabbing names for their two offspring - Moses and Apple.
Katie Price and former husband Peter Andre chose names for their children which sound cute and cuddly while they are young, but may look a little odd when they reach adulthood - Junior and Princess.
Hollywood stars meanwhile are repeat offenders - Will Smith's children are called Jaden and Willow, actor Forest Whitaker chose Ocean, True and Sonnet.
Singer and actress Cher had a daughter called Chastity, truncated to Chaz following a sex change, while model Christie Brinkley's daughter goes by the name of Sailor.
Last week, former England footballer Beckham met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their visit to California.

@yvonneridley yvonneridley

Posh & Becks have named their baby Harper Seven - sounds like a toilet detergent to me.

@Martin_Carr

are we assuming that's after Harper Lee? Seems a bit literary for them...

@SirFrankButcher
Harper Seven? Did the midwife ask Beckham for a name or the time?

@camillalong
Doesn't Posh know the Harper Seven were a group of climate change activists jailed for bombing a juice bar in San Francisco?!

@StyleRepublic
Harper Seven Beckham. Finally, a great celebrity baby name.

@ladysov
I actually think the beckhams daughters name "harper seven" is kinda cool .

@Netmums
Quite like Harper, Seven not so much but it has meaning for them at least - I think there's been worse names for celebs kids before.

@sarah_robbo
Erm, I usually like weird celeb' baby names, but HARPER SEVEN? Literally Harpers Bizzare?!
