London - (Reuterus): And yes, it's twin girls - just as the IVF doctor ordered - sisters for Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
Today's announcement follows months of speculation that industrial strength sticking plaster is holding together the Beckhams' marriage.
And that the addition of much-longed for daughters to the family may just cement a relationship teetering on the verge of injury time.
Last autumn frenzied legal moves in LA and London saw ex-England football captain David Beckham lash out at a hooker's tawdry kiss 'n' tell claims.
The long-suffering Mrs B has borne this and other sordid revelations with all the sangfroid a really experienced WAG can muster.
Sources close to the couple say a delivery suite has already been booked at the Portland - London's premier too-posh-to-push maternity clinic - where the tariff for a pre-natal scan starts at $5,000.
UK bookies are currently offering attractive odds on the babies' names.
These include Lucrezia (5/1), Trinity (7/1) and Sorrell (20/1).
The expected date for delivery is July 1st, Princess Diana's birthday.
