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

Their rep told People magazine that the couple was "delighted" to confirm the news.

The Beckhams, who were married in 1999 in a castle in Irelanad, have three sons - Brooklyn, 11; Romeo, 8; and Cruz, 5. They live in Los Angeles, where Beckham plays for the L. .A. Galaxy.

Last spring, Victoria, a former Spice Girl (Posh) who has fashioned a second career as a designer, admitted to having a full house but didn't rule out the possibility of having more children.

"I think one day, if we're blessed to have more children, it would be amazing," she said during her husband's appearance on "The View" in April. "It's a lot having three boys. So, we're just enjoying the boys at the moment. But who knows, one day?"
