England soccer captain David Beckham was delighted to have his third baby boy named Cruz and told reporters outside the hospital on Sunday that the baby was with his brothers and was very happy.

The baby boy was born by caesarean section a week early in a hospital in Madrid, where David Beckham plays his club football.

"We've got a baby boy. His name is Cruz," a beaming David Beckham told reporters. "He is beautiful."

The Beckhams, Britain's highest-profile celebrity couple, already have two children, Brooklyn, 5, and Romeo, 2.

David Beckham joined Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2003 to become one of the world's highest paid football players.
