There’s some baby news in the Beckham family, everyone

Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper are getting a cousin

| Updated:

Watch out for a new cute face on David Beckham’s Instagram feed in five months time. Because David’s sister Joanne is pregnant with her first child!

The most random bit of this news is that Joanne is having a baby with former Big Brother star Kris Donnelly, who was in the reality show in 2009.

There are so far no confirmed reports about whether he is related to Declan Donnelly. (Wouldn’t that be cool?)

Kris has a few other claims to fame though which are (no particular order): he dated Jorgie Porter from Hollyoaks, he worked as a model, he also dated Sophie Reade from Big Brother and erm, owned a selfie stick company.

He’s also got a lot of celeb pals, including the Thomas brothers – Adam, Ryan, and Scott.

But we’d say joining the ranks of the Beckhams is definitely the coolest one yet.

Joanne, who used to be a hairdresser and now runs a concierge service, is believed to be four months pregnant so will be due around December.

“Joanne and Kris are over the moon,” a source told The Sun On Sunday. “Her parents Ted and Sandra are looking forward to having another grandchild.”

Never mind that! What does Harper think?!

“And David’s kids are excited about having a new cousin, especially Harper,” added the source.

That’s all we needed, thanks.

We realise it’s not the most important thing, Kris and Joanne, but your baby is going to get the most awesome Christmas presents. No Fisher Price round these parts.
