Manchester United's David Beckham and his pop star wife Victoria are expecting their second child in September.
There had been speculation that Victoria was pregnant again and the couple confirmed the news today. In a statement, they said that Brooklyn is looking forward to having a little brother or sister to play with.
Brooklyn was born in March 1999 and was said to have been named after the New York borough where he was conceived.
The couple said in the statement that this year had been such an exciting year for them with England making it to the World Cup finals and Victoria having a second top 10 hit.
John Glover, who recently took over management of the former Spice Girl, said: "It is wonderful news and we are very pleased for them. Victoria will be continuing with her work and we are currently planning the promotion of her third single."
