Run out of garage space, Becks? David Beckham is in seventh heaven as he adds customised Ferrari to his car collection

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Hot wheels: David Beckham has a new car parked up on the driveway of his rent Malibu home, a stunning Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

It seems baby Harper Seven isn't the only new addition to the Beckham household - with this $300,000 Ferrari parked in the driveway of the family's Malibu summer beach house.

The black Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, complete with a customised number '7' logo, appears to be the latest motor in David and Victoria Beckham's collection of luxury cars.

Of course the number seven holds a special meaning for LA Galaxy star David - not only is it his daughter's middle name, but it is also his shirt number from his Manchester United days.

Customised: The sportsman has had a No. 7 logo added to the shiny black motor, a reference to his daughter Harper's middle name and his shirt number from his Manchester United days


The car was spotted taking pride of place in the driveway of the couple's rented Malibu mansion.

With a top speed of 196mph, it can accelerate from 0-60mph in precisely 4.2 seconds.

And without any customisation, the Italian motor costs in the region of $250,000 brand new.

Others in his collection include a customised black Escalade, a giant off-road Jeep, a BMW, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche as well as several motorbikes.

'We hope to have one more child,' reveals David Beckham as he piggybacks his son through choppy waters on boys' day out

By Daily Mail Reporter


Ready, son?: David Beckham lifts son Brooklyn on his back as a large wave rolls towards them in the ocean at Malibu yesterday


David Beckham has revealed he and wife Victoria aren't done with having children and would like one more baby.

The LA Galaxy star, 36, and wife Victoria became parents for the fourth time when baby daughter Harper was born earlier this month.

The couple also have three sons - Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six - and he was recently asked if they want another baby.

He said: 'We've always said we'd love a big family and five was a number. If we're lucky enough, then we hope to have one more.'


David yesterday left his wife and daughter to bond as he took his boys for a swim in the surf near their new rented home in Malibu.

At one point the statuesque midfielder gave his eldest boy a piggy back - one that hoisted his son well above a fierce wave.

The pair have enjoyed several boogie-board sessions in the surf since the family moved into the $150,000 a month house, which is owned by director Steven Spielberg.

The Beckhams' youngest son Cruz could be seen watching the action enviously from the beach, where he was safely away from any marine-based danger.

Father and son time: The boys have been working on their boogie-board skills

Let me have a go!: Little Cruz is still too small to join in the potentially dangerous activity


Though it was clear to see from the look on the young scamp's face that he'll be out as soon as he is able, Romeo, who is following his mother's footsteps in the fashion stakes, seemed happier to stay on dry land.

The Beckham boys were joined by friends for the afternoon of fun, though mummy Victoria was resting at home with daughter Harper Seven, who was born on July 10.

David must be thankful to have three boys to play rough and tumble with, given that he said recently that he's learning to be more 'delicate' with his newborn daughter.

'Having a daughter is a whole new thing... you have to be a lot more delicate with girls than with boys and I'm not used to that.

'So it's a whole new experience but it's an amazing experience,' he said in a video post on his Facebook page.

He's clearly smitten with the first female child in his family, and couldn't resist taking an intimate photograph of his wife and daughter as they slept.

Proud: David smiles as Brooklyn rides on the crest of a wave

Dry land: Romeo stayed out of the ocean, but spent time with his father when the football star dried up to enjoy a beer


He also posted the touching picture on Facebook, gushing, 'I took this picture of my two girls sleeping...'

His fashion designer wife posted a similar snap on her Twitter page with the caption, 'Daddy's little girl!'

In the shot, David is shown giving an eskimo kiss to his little girl, who is wrapped up in a blanket and wearing a tiny hat.

If more proof is needed that he's besotted, he's also had her name stitched on to his pink football boots; pink to honour his 'girl', of course.

Carve her name with pride! David Beckham has new inking on his neck in tribute to baby daughter Harper Seven

By Jody Thompson and Sara Nathan

-Football legend reveals that he and Victoria will try for one more baby
-Proud father says Harper Seven already has an extensive fashion wardrobe - just like her mother


Love you tattoo much: David Beckham gave a tantalising glimpse of his new tattoo dedicated to new daughter Harper Seven in an interview for his club LA Galaxy this week


He's famously already got body art dedicated to his wife Victoria and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - so it was only a matter of time before David Beckham got a new inscription to mark the birth of daughter Harper Seven.

The couple’s first baby girl was born earlier this month and proud father David gave a teasing glimpse of the new inking on his neck this week during a television interview for his club LA Galaxy.

The new design appears to be of curled lettering, suggesting he has had Harper Seven's name inscribed in a fancy font.

The inking sits just above his tattoo of Jesus being carried by three cherubs, which are meant to symbolise sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight and Cruz, six.

Beckham said at the time: ‘It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot.’

The 36-year-old LA Galaxy star is known for his array of tattoos, many of which are dedicated to his family.

As well as the cherubs David already has the names of his three boys and an inscription of Victoria’s name written in Hindi.

He also a six-inch tattoo of Victoria as an angel, accompanied with the words ‘til death do us part.’

David has previously said his tattoos are a way of expressing how he’s feeling, explaining: ‘Most of my tattoos are memories and things that mean things to me.

‘There's not one tattoo that I've got on me that doesn't mean something.’

The last time David went under the needle was in February, when he had the Jesus and the three cherubs drawn into his skin.

David also posted a video on Facebook explaining why he had the tattoo and what it represented.

New ink: David Beckaham visited LA tattoo artist Mark Mahoney for his latest piece of body art

Divine inspiration: The new tattoo features a depiction of Jesus being pulled up by three angels


That tattoo was the handy work of one of LA’s biggest tattoo artists, Mark Mahoney, who has worked on a long list of famous names who include Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and it's likely that the Harper Seven inking was courtesy of his hand too.

David is just another in a long line of celebrities who have only good words to say about Mark. He added: ‘He’s not a tattooist who goes on and does TV programmes. He’s low key and stays out of things and is very talented. ‘

Mahoney works in West Hollywood at the Shamrock Social Club on The Sunset Strip and says he prides himself on making his customer’s experiences as memorable as possible.

‘It’s called the Shamrock Social Club, not the Shamrock anti-social Club. People come here to relax and have a good time. People always remember the night they got tattooed. That’s one of the things you always remember in life, so I wanted to make that as memorable and as nice an experience as it ever could be.’

David first posted a picture of Mahoney working on his new tattoo back in December of last year. He Tweeted: ‘I want to let you all in on something. Just had a new tattoo done by the legendary Mark Mahoney.’

He added: ‘I had it done 3 months ago, before I left LA. I don’t plan on having a tattoo, but just sometimes I wake up with an idea or an image of what I would like on me.

‘It’s my way of expressing the way I’m feeling. Most of my tattoos are memories or things that mean a lot to me.

‘It was an 8-hour session which lasted until about 3 o’clock in the morning. I then went back a few weeks later and we did another 4 hours. It’s really is amazing.’

Masterpiece: The tattoo took 12 hours in total


David has also revealed that his new baby daughter is already a stylista in the making.

The Beckhams’ first little girl already has a growing collection of fashionable garments, according to her proud father.

Mother Victoria, 37, has her own fashion range that has proved a big hit with celebrities, and yesterday her footballer father David revealed that baby Harper’s wardrobe was already packed.

Speaking about the two-week old baby girl, the former England captain, 36, said: ‘Everything Victoria’s put on her so far looks amazing, she's got a great wardrobe already.

‘My wife is going to definitely take care of that.’

And even though Victoria had to have a fourth caesarean, Beckham said the couple were still keen for ‘one more’ baby.

Speaking in a post-match interview, the LA Galaxy footballer said the couple would like to complete a five-a-side 'Team Beckham'.

He said: ‘Are we done now or will we see any more in the future? We'd like one more.

‘We've always said we'd love a big family and five was the number. If we're lucky enough, then we hope to have one more.

He added: 'Victoria's doing amazingly well. So we'll see.'

When asked how Harper Seven's older brothers were liking the family's newest addition, Beckham replied: ‘All the boys won't leave her alone, which is amazing.’

Despite currently working away from home, Beckham said he has been Skyping with Harper, adding: ‘I can't wait to get home to see her and my boys and my wife.

‘It's different having a little girl. She's elegant. She sleeps in an elegant position.’

As for her genes, it appears Harper takes after mum Victoria.

'She's a mixture of all three of the boys actually. She's got Victoria's nose thankfully,' Beckham said.

A hard act to swallow! David Beckham feasts on a plate of bugs (but it is all in the name of family fun)

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Down the hatch! Down the hatch! David Beckham shocked onlookers, when he feasted on a plate of nasty bugs on Disney show 'Take Two With Phineas and Ferb'

With an estimated fortune of £165milllion, you wouldn't expect David Beckham to dine on anything for a mere tenner dare.

But daredevil David Beckham shocked onlookers when he recently feasted on a plate of nasty bugs.
The courageous act all went down on animated talk show 'Take Two With Phineas and Ferb', and of course the fly-ridden plate of creepy crawlies were just animation.


Dare: David was asked by Ferb if he would eat the creepy crawlies for ten dollars


In the skit, Phineas asks David: 'In all of your travels, have you ever eaten anything weird like bugs?'

To which David responds: 'No never tried them.'

'If we gave you $10 would you eat one?' asks Phineas.

'For ten dollars I will eat anything' says David, as he throws the bugs down the hatch and snatches up the ten dollar bill.


Game: And David obliged, saying 'For ten dollars I will eat anything'


David appeared on the spoof for the popular Disney program and was interview by the two pint-sized cartoon characters.

Along with pretend plate of beasties, when David was asked by Phineas what else he could do with his feet beside kicking a football, he answers, 'Nothing springs to mind' as he is seen eating a banana from his shoe.

Later he head-butts balls with Ferb, and gets challenged by a wannabe goalie, who he obliterates into the stratosphere with his powerful kick.



Joker: Along with pretend plate of beasties, when David was asked what else he could do with his feet beside kicking a football, he answers, 'Nothing springs to mind' as he is seen eating a banana from his shoe


His appearance on the show, once again reinforces David role as the quintessential family man.

David has always personified doting dad, but with he and his wife Victoria welcoming their daughter Harper Seven into the world earlier this month, when he is not playing football, David has been spending every waking minute with the Beckham clan.

Earlier this week, he posted a picture of himself cooking risotto for his brood, and all week has been keeping his boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, busy with surfing trips and outings, whilst Victoria tends to Harper at home.


In the hot seat: David is grilled with questions from the tow animated characters


With the arrival of the new baby, some older siblings can feel left out as friends and family members coo and gush over the newborn.

But clearly not the Beckham boys, who have been getting just as much attention affections as their little sister Harper Seven.

This week they also got to spend some quality time with their Auntie Joanne, who lavished lots of love and fun on them at one of David's football matches.

Football legend, underwear model, doting father and now culinary god: Is David Beckham the perfect male?

By J J Anisiobi


Most men would find it hard to look after three young boys and a newborn girl whilst holding down their day job - but superdad David Beckham is no ordinary man.

Despite all of his parental commitments - and not to mention the commercial ones - the L.A. Galaxy football player still found time to cook a delicious-looking risotto whilst his wife Victoria took a break after recently giving birth to daughter Harper Seven - and then posted up a picture of the feast on Facebook.

Domestic dad David, 36, first started taking an interest in becoming a culinary king while playing for Real Madrid between 2003 and 2007.

And for my next trick... a picture David Beckham posted on his Facebook page today and he wrote 'A little something I made earlier.....a home-made Risotto for the family. Don't forget to check out my new Fan Zone on the left-hand menu'


It isn't surprising that David took an interest in cooking after Victoria once admitted she was no domestic goddess and made David nothing but mince for four years because it was the only dish she cooked well.

Posh explained to Manchester radio station Key 103 in 2008: 'The only thing I can cook really is mincemeat, which is ironic because I'm a vegetarian.

'But I like calzone and lasagne. I cooked every day in Spain so David and the boys lived off minced meat for four years'.

However, it wasn't until David moved to Milan at the start of last year on loan from Galaxy that he decided to enrol on a cookery course.

Superdad: David Beckham and his boys are having an amazing time while bodyboarding in Malibu


He said at the time to the Daily Mail: 'It's something I've always wanted to do.

I've always loved cooking. Now I'm in Italy, I want to learn how to make amazing pasta.

'It's gone from a small ambition of wanting to learn how to make pasta to the extreme of doing this course professional chefs do. It's something I'm passionate about.'

David, who is best friends with world famous chef Gordon Ramsay, could ask the fiery tempered Scot for advice if he ever needed to, but added: 'I'd love to cook for Gordon and I definitely will one day.'

David took in total 120 hours worth of cooking lessons when living Italy and it seems it was time well spent as he could put his new skills to use when he and Ramsay open their pie and mash shop together.


Best friends: Gordon Ramsay and David Beckham attend an LA Lakers game in California earlier this year where the pair intend to open a restaurant together


Becks and Ramsay, 44, registered the name PM (Pie and Mash) Restaurant in their joint initials DBGR in October last year and have applied for exclusive usage of the name for cafe, restaurant and bar services.

It is understood that they will open outlets specialising in English food shops in both London and Los Angeles.

Watch me dad! While Victoria rests at home with daughter Harper, snap-happy David Beckham captures Brooklyn on the waves

By LAURA SCHREFFLER


Kodak moment: David Beckham captures his oldest son Brooklyn on the waves in Malibu


David Beckham's new motto: while the women are away, the men shall play.

The soccer star and 12-year-old son Brooklyn frolicked in the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California, today.

David acted as the photographer as he snapped his oldest son catching some waves.

Friends: Eva Longoria (second right)dropped by the Beckham's beach house to welcome new baby Harper


Wife Victoria rested at home with daughter Harper Seven, who was born just over a week ago on 10 July.

David and his oldest son surfed and boogey-boarded the day away, pausing to take a break when pal Eva Longoria came down to the beach for a visit.

Thankfully the L.A. Galaxy midfielder has three sons to play around with (Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6, aren't pictured), given that he said this week he's learning to be more 'delicate' with his newborn daughter.

'So it's a whole new experience but it's an amazing experience,' he said in a video post on his Facebook page.

He said earlier this week he is learning to be more 'delicate' with new daughter Harper Seven after having three sons with wife Victoria Beckham.

But David is clearly smitten with her little girl and couldn't resist taking an intimate snap of Victoria and their baby daughter as they slept.

Posting the touching photograph to his Facebook page David gushed: 'I took this picture of my two girls sleeping...'

Victoria posted the picture on her Twitter page with the caption: 'Daddy's little girl!'

In the shot, David is seen touching noses with his little girl, who is wrapped up in a blanket and wearing a little hat.

Yesterday David showed his joy over the arrival of the pair's first daughter when he took to the football pitch with Harper's name stitched on his football boots.

In addition to the names of Beckham's three sons with wife Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, the boots have now been embroidered with the name of the couple's new daughter, Harper.

Beckham also went for the colour pink for the boots to highlight his joy at having a little girl to add to his brood.

Accompanying a picture of the boots on his Facebook site, Beckham wrote: 'Check out my boots for the Real Madrid match. A little extra stitching needed from now on....'

And despite the fact that LA Galaxy lost to Real Madrid 4-1, nothing could dampen Beckham's spirits as he headed home after the match.

Beckham spoke earlier this week about little Harper, admitting he and Victoria had decided on the unusual moniker after the former Spice Girl's favourite author, To Kill A Mockingbird's Harper Lee.

Excited: Beckham, who has become a father for the fourth time, certainly seemed in good spirits as he played

Hugs for everybody! David hugs Real Madrid's Marcelo Vieira after the match


In a series of videos posted on his official Facebook page, the 36-year-old sportsman spoke of his joy as becoming a father for the fourth time.

He said: 'A lot of thought goes into our children's names and Harper was a name that we've loved for a long time for a couple of reasons.

'One reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the other reasons was Victoria's favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird and the author was Harper Lee. It's a very strong, passionate book. That's where Harper came from.

Gearing up: David was seen in training the day before the friendly game

Growing brood: The footballer's three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, accompanied him at training


'To have another girl in the family is really incredible. We've got three beautiful healthy boys already and we're so lucky to have that and now to have a beautiful little girl.

'Having a daughter is a whole new thing. Having pink in the house, having lilac in the house... and you have to be a lot more delicate with girls than boys and I'm not used to that so it's a whole new experience.'

Beckham's online video comes a day after his wife spoke of her joy as becoming a mother to little Harper.

Delighted: Beckham and wife Victoria have both expressed their delight over the new addition to their family


The ex-Spice Girl delivered the 7lbs, 10oz baby at 7:55am last Sunday morning via caesarean section.

She Tweeted: 'Baby Harper is the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen, I have fallen in love all over again!!!

'We all feel so blessed and the boys love their baby sister so much!!! X VB.'
