David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their daughter Harper in 2011
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham’s daughter Harper Seven Beckham seems to take after both her parents, from her love of soccer to her obsession with makeup.
The couple first met at a soccer match in 1997 and tied the knot two years later in July 1999. They welcomed three sons together — Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz — before their only daughter, Harper, was born on July 10, 2011.
Here’s everything to know about David and Victoria Beckham’s daughter Harper.
She was born in 2011
David and Victoria welcomed their daughter, Harper Seven, on July 10, 2011, at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She weighed 7 lbs., 10 oz.
The soccer player revealed they were expecting a girl six months prior, saying at an L.A. Galaxy fan luncheon, “Obviously, we’re very lucky to be expecting again, and this is the first time I’m going to say it: It’s a little girl.”
He continued, “We’re still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon. Our three boys are happy and excited, and Victoria is doing well.”
Her name has a special meaning
Harper’s full name is Harper Seven Beckham, which has special ties to each of her parents. The couple loved that Harper was an Old English name, and seven was David’s jersey number when he played for Manchester United.
Her parents protect her privacy
While Harper appears on her parents’ social media accounts, she doesn’t have her own public profile. Speaking with Vogue Australia in July 2022, Victoria opened up about body shaming on social media and her worries about how that might impact her daughter one day.
“Harper isn’t on social media, so we don’t have to worry about that just yet,” she said. “But seeing how cruel people can be, yes it really does [concern me].”
Her godmother is Eva Longoria
In addition to two famous parents, Harper also counts actress Eva Longoria and musician Marc Anthony as her godparents. Victoria revealed the news on Instagram in December 2019 when she posted photos from Harper’s baptism, including a shot of the then-8-year-old with all of her godparents.
She loves makeup
Harper takes after her mom when it comes to her love of makeup and fashion. In a March 2023 interview with The Times, Victoria revealed that her daughter is “obsessed with makeup.”
While the designer also shared that Harper isn’t allowed to wear makeup outside of the house yet, Victoria said that “she’s been able to do a full face and contour for quite some time. She’s good at doing it very naturally.”
