David Beckham: No To Tottenham, Yes To Tot #4

In an effort to start a rival league made up entirely of offspring, Los Angeles-based David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly expecting their fourth child this summer.
The couple's three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five are said to be "very excited," reports the BBC. The former Manchester United and current LA Galaxy star married former Spice Girl, "Posh" Victoria, in 1999.
It was also announced today the Los Angeles Galaxy will not be loaning 35-year-old David Beckham to Tottenham Hotspur due to "insurance issues." Beckham will, however, train with London-based Tottenham starting on Monday until February 10 when he'll return for pre-season with the LA Galaxy and Victoria heads to NYC Fashion Week.
