Former Spice Girl
welcomes new baby
LONDON
(AP) - "Posh
Spice''
Victoria
Beckham and
soccer star V * • ^
hubby David
Beckham are ^
the parents of
a second son,
whose Shakespearean name
was a surprise after much
speculation.
Romeo was born by
Caesarean section and weighed
7 lbs, 4 ounces, said David
Beckham, adding that the pop
singer mother and son were
doing fine.
"We're both delighted, a
beaming Beckham told
reporters outside Portland
Hospital.
Romeo's older brother, 3-
year-old Brooklyn, was at the
hospital to see the newborn,
David Beckham said.
"Brooklyn's just in awe of
him. He's absolutely gorgeous,"
said Beckham, who plays for
England and Manchester
United.
The Beckhams are one of
Britain's most famous couples,
and bookmakers had been tak
ing bets on the name of the
new baby. Brooklyn reportedly
was named after the New York
borough where he was con
ceived. That spawned specula
tion that his sibling might be
named Paris or Trafford, the
home of Manchester United's
stadium.
David Beckham said the
name Romeo had no special
significance.
"It's just a name we love," he
said.
