By Daily Mail Reporter


★Victoria books C-section for July 4 - U.S. Independence Day
★Seven bedroom beachside paradise will cost $60,000 a month

Lap of luxury: David and Victoria Beckham are set to rent this Malibu mansion this summer ahead of their expected return to Britain in November


This is the luxury $27m oceanside mansion that David and Victoria Beckham are set to call home this summer.

The couple are said to be leasing the stunning home in Malibu, California, for more than $60,000 a month.

While they already have a pile in Beverly Hills, it looks like this could be the place where the couple's new daughter will live out her first few months when she is born in July.

Growing brood: The couple already have three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz


The family are expected to move back to the UK when Beckham’s contract with LA Galaxy runs out in November.

However in the meantime, Posh and Becks along with their three boys will be able to make the most of their remaining time in California in the stunning location.

According to reports today, Victoria, 37, has elected for a C-section in LA on July 4 - U.S. Independence Day.

And The Sun claims the couple have shortlisted Atlanta as a name for the little girl, in a nod to the hundreds of thousand of airmiles they have clocked up flying between Britain and the States.

Cooking up a treat: The property boasts stunning beach views. Pictured here, the spacious kitchen complete with central island

Feet up: The family will be able to relax in style in this stunning living space with incredible views


The Malibu property boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, marble walls, a gym, pool and lavish tropical gardens.

Estate agents Trulia describes the home as a 'stunning, new architectural estate, constructed under strict green building standards'.

It is situated on 180 feet of bluff frontage overlooking Malibu’s widest premiere dry sand beach.

The Beckhams already have three boys Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls: Ocean views with the Santa Monica Mountains in the distance

Room with a view: The couple will be able to look out onto the ocean from the comfort of their bed


They have already been looking at top boys schools back in Britain ready for their expected return.

And Beckham, who recently trained with Tottenham Hotspur, has admitted he would still like to play on for an English club.

He said recently: ‘Who knows. I had a great career in England for 12-13 years. I've always said that I never wanted to play for another English club, because Manchester United is such a great club.

‘I'm getting older now and I don't have many years left. This is my last contract year, but who knows what will happen.’

David Beckham gets snap happy during beach day out with his boys

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Snap happy: David Beckham indulges in an impromptu photo shoot while at the beach with his boys


After 23 years playing professional football it is safe to say that David Beckham is in the latter stages of his career.

But if he does decides to retire from the beautiful game he does have another passion he likes to indulge in and the footballer showed off his photographer skills during a day at the beach with his boys.

David, 35, was seen capturing Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz as they soaked up the sunshine on the beach in Malibu.


However, the star puzzled many when he arrived protecting himself from the strong Californian sun in a T-shirt with a dubious pattern on it.

While David Beckham isn’t overtly religious it was still a surprise to see him sporting an inverted pentagram – a symbol sometimes associated with paganism and satanic worship.

The footballer was seen wearing the controversial T-shirt during a day at the beach with his boys.

Like the design? David was seen last year sporting the same symbol on a green T-shirt at a baseball match


This isn't the first time the football ace has donned the symbol and he was seen wearing a similar T-shirt in green at a baseball match last year.

However, the symbol was once used by Christians to represent the five wounds of Jesus which would fit with the religious imagery that Becks is so fond of when it comes to his tattoos.

And indeed, he soon took off the top to show off his body art while playing with his boys on the beach.

On the ball: The super dad still couldn't resist a kick around with his lads however

Referee! Cruz manages to get the ball off his dad in their game of beach football but Becks soon gets it back again


Swapping his football for a camera, the L.A. Galaxy star showed off her photography flare and got snap happy as the boys played with body boards in the surf.

David was dressed in a pair of oversized purple and yellow shorts – the colours of his favourite basketball team the LA Lakers – with a matching baseball cap.

But after indulging in an impromptu photo shoot with his boys Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, it wasn’t long before David was enjoying a kick about with his oldest boy Brooklyn, 12.

Giving chase: David had plenty of energy as he raced after his boys on the beach


And showing his son just how it is done David performed a number of keep ups as Brooklyn watched on.

But it wasn’t long before Romeo fancied a bit of the ball and went in to tackle his father in an attempt to steal the bright yellow ball.

Meanwhile Cruz found himself covered up to his neck in sand, but appeared happy at being buried on the beach.

Showing off: Later in the day David demonstrated his ball skills performing keep ups

Take that: Romeo couldn't wait to get involved and took the ball off David with a tackle


It appeared to be a strictly boys only day out as Victoria was nowhere to be seen.

The pregnant fashion designer, who is expecting their fourth child, a daughter, this summer may have been enjoying the chance to relax on her own at home.

Despite being six months pregnant the former Spice Girl hasn’t ditched her Louboutin high heels and has been looking as slim as ever with her baby bump rarely on show.

David discussed their excitement at the news while appearing on late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this month.

Up to my neck in it: Cruz seemed pleased to be buried in the beach


He said: 'We've got three beautiful boys and we're ecstatic to have another one on the way but when we first found out, we went for the scan and they said, "oh, it's a boy" and we were like "great" but Victoria was like, "Ahh, another penis in the house".

'She thinks there's too many in the house already. So then we went back for the next scan and they said, "oh, we think it's a girl". So we were like, "oh, ok, well, that's amazing".

'And then on the final scan they said it's definitely a girl so, yeah, it's incredible.'

The footballer told his host that he and Victoria had a few names in mind for their daughter, who Victoria is due to give birth to this summer.

And he said they had also asked their sons for some ideas and added: 'When we got told it was a boy, my middle son Romeo said, "How about Justin Bieber as a name? Justin Bieber Beckham?"

'So now we know it's a girl, he said, "Well, how about Justine Bieber Beckham?"

'Can we call her Justine Bieber Beckham?': David reveals his son Romeo's suggestion for their baby daughter's name

By Georgina Littlejohn


Special guest: David chatted to Kimmel about him and Victoria expecting a baby girl and their sons wanting to call her Justine


In true showbiz style, they have given their three sons some very unusual first names - Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

But even David and Victoria Beckham will draw the line somewhere and that line is naming their daughter after Justin Bieber.

David was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel's chat show last night, and revealed that middle son Romeo wants to call her Justine Bieber Beckham, in tribute to his favourite pop star.


He also admitted that Victoria was relieved to be expecting a girl as she didn't want 'another penis' in the house.

The footballer told his host that he and Victoria had a few names in mind for their daughter, who Victoria is due to give birth to this summer.

And he said they had also asked their sons for some ideas and added: 'When we got told it was a boy, my middle son Romeo said, "How about Justin Bieber as a name? Justin Bieber Beckham?"

Surely it runs in the family? David bursts into laughter as Kimmel joked that it was unacceptable that his son Brooklyn should have to try out for his school football team

Aww, shucks! David laughs coyly as his hosts teases him about getting more and more handsome


'So now we know it's a girl, he said, "Well, how about Justine Bieber Beckham?"

He said Romeo, who is eight, and his six-year-old brother Cruz were big fans of the pop star and had met him at his concert.

When Kimmel joked that Beckham could get Bieber to deliver him a pizza or mow his lawn, the LA
Galaxy star added: 'The funny thing is, I was on the way to school drop off the other day and my youngest said, "Do you think we could have a play date with Justin Bieber?" I think he's a little bit busy.'

David also spoke about their first scan and how they were told that they were expecting a boy again.

He said: 'We've got three beautiful boys and we're ecstatic to have another one on the way but when we first found out, we went for the scan and they said, "oh, it's a boy" and we were like "great" but Victoria was like, "Ahh, another penis in the house".

'She thinks there's too many in the house already. So then we went back for the next scan and they said, "oh, we think it's a girl". So we were like, "oh, ok, well, that's amazing".

'And then on the final scan they said it's definitely a girl so, yeah, it's incredible.'

Beckham was accompanied to the show by Victoria, Romeo and Cruz, but explained that his oldest son Brooklyn, 12, was at football try outs to which Kimmel joked: 'Tryouts? He has to try out? That's totally unacceptable.'

David then revealed that all his boys are competitive and play all sports including baseball, American Football and basketball.

In fact, David regularly takes his sons to watch the LA Lakers play and last night was snapped courtside with Romeo.

He and the family - minus Brooklyn - were snapped arriving at the studios to pre-record last night's show.

And Victoria, who was wearing limited-edition 18 carat gold sunglasses from her own collection, took to her Twitter page as she watched the interview from backstage.

She wrote: 'Sitting with the all the boys in the green room watching David film tonight's show x we are so proud of him!!! X vb'

Observers also commented on David's suit and how much he looked like a character from Wall Street.

Just showing: Victoria's bump could just been seen under her top as she walked into the studios through the back door


Others said he looked like American Psycho character Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale in the movie adaptation of the book.

Beckham, 35, certainly did looked like a yuppie from the 80s in his suit and pink pinstriped shirt with a white collar.

He teamed that with a red polka dot tie - which was clipped on to his shirt with a pin - and wore a matching handkerchief in his breast pocket.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Keen observer: Beckham looks on as Sofia sips on the soft drink


No wonder David Beckham looks so cheerful.

The footballer was pictured shooting a Pepsi commercial on the beach in Los Angeles yesterday where he was joined by stunning Modern Family star Sofia Vergara.

The Colombian actress looked immaculate in a low-cut blue swimsuit as she lounged around sipping on the soft drink on Venice Beach.

Beckham was also looking good, wearing his hair swept back in a Mad Men-style parting.

The pair were seen laughing together between takes, while Sofia was well tended to by the production staff on location.

She teamed her swimsuit with a sarong and floppy hat.

David Beckham reveals chest tattoo of Jesus and angels for the first time

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

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


David Beckham posted the first pictures of his latest tattoo on Facebook today.

It’s no secret that David is a big fan of body art and Victoria has even joined him with a number of decorative pieces of her own in recent years.

But the 35-year-old latest addition is would look more at home on the ceiling of The Sistine Chapel than on a person’s chest.

The tattoo is of Jesus being lifted by three cherubs, of whom David says symbolise himself and his three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6.

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


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


‘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 tattoo is 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.

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.


Masterpiece: The tattoo took 12 hours in total


‘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.’

Today he revealed what an amazing experience it was for him. 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.’
David's wife Victoria is pregnant with the couple's fourth child.
