Hello baby Beckham (???)

Victoria Beckham is reportedly ‘preparing’ for a new baby, according to sources close to Victoria’s best friend, Tana Ramsay.

The new baby would join Victoria and David’s three sons, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 11 and daughter Harper, 4, and would be Victoria’s first child since 2011.

The Daily Mail has reported that David has wanted a fifth child ever since the birth of Harper, and now, five years later, they are both thinking about having ‘just one last baby’. As if to corroborate this news, Victoria is apparently eating a ‘spinach-heavy diet with broccoli and leafy greens’, foods that are rich in folic acid – an important vitamin to support a healthy pregnancy.

It was only last year that Victoria Beckham appeared to have confirmed that she would not be having any more children. During a talk about her eponymous fashion line last June, the designer was asked if she would be adding to her family to which she joked: ‘No… I've got four! I feel like I've done my bit.'

Well, fast-forward a year and rumours are now circulating that the Beckhams may be preparing to have another baby.

As an aside, imagine being part of the Beckham family? The coolest dad, the cutest little sister, a wardrobe full of designer clothes ready to mine at any given opportunity, plus an A-lister popping round for family dinner (for the uninitiated, we’re talking about Brooklyn Beckham’s girlfriend Chloe Moretz).

Oh, potential baby number five, you lucky, lucky thing…
