Eva Longoria 'godmother to Beckhams' daughter'

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham have reportedly asked Eva Longoria to be godmother to their unborn daughter.

The couple are due to become parents for the fourth time next month, with reports suggesting that Victoria is booked to deliver by cesarean section on July 4.

The Beckhams chose the Desperate Housewives star after considering other friends including Gordon and Tana Ramsay and Heidi Klum and husband Seal, according to The Sun. Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley are godparents to both Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham.

"Victoria ran it past David and they both want Eva," a source told the paper. "She's extremely honoured."

Longoria previously described Victoria as a "great friend", adding: "She's very loyal and very, very funny. Everyone loves her."

Celebrity friends of the Beckhams have also reportedly begun sending gifts to the family, with one personalised romper suit reading: "Isn't my mummy posh?"
