Soccer star David Beckham and former Spice Girl wife Victoria have announced that she is pregnant with their third child.

The 30-year-old and her husband said in a statement the baby would be due in March next year. 'This is fantastic news. We are both absolutely delighted. We are planning to have the baby in Spain.” David Beckham is the captain of Real Madrid, a soccer team in Spain. He is the world’s highest paid soccer player. The two are Britain’s most famous celebrity couple. They already have two children, Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, who is nearly two.

The announcement follows recent allegations that David Beckham had an affair with his former personal assistant Rebecca Loos. Beckham has declared the claims are false and says he is happily married.

Victoria, who achieved fame as 'Posh Spice' with The Spice Girls, refused to relocate to Spain in order to pursue her singing career. Her latest single was supposed to be released recently but has been delayed. The announcement that the baby will be born in Spain, may mean that she has decided to put her career on hold in order to devote more time to being a wife and mother.
