No paternity leave: David Beckham was back to work yesterday just two days after welcoming the birth of his daughter Harper Seven
He only welcomed his first daughter into the world on Sunday but it seems that David Beckham isn’t taking any time off for paternity leave.
The footballer,36, was back to work yesterday, just two days after Harper Seven was born, joining his L.A. Galaxy teammates at a news conference.
Beckham joined his team to announce the Herbalife World Football Challenger 2011 soccer tournament which will see L.A. Galaxy take on David’s former team Real Madrid on Saturday.

Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo was also present at the press conference and the pair swapped shirts with David leaving with the striker’s no.7 shirt.
Ronaldo, who joined Manchester United after David left for Spain, donned the no.7 shirt which Beckham had played in during his time at Old Trafford, and many believe that the number is the inspiration for his new daughter’s name.

Little Harper Seven arrived on Sunday morning and David was quick to tell fans about the newest arrival to the Beckham clan.
David made an announcement on his Facebook page and posted: ‘I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham,' he wrote.

'She weighed a healthy 7lb 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister.’
The child was born by elective Caesarean, in the same way as the Beckhams' older children.
On Monday night David took his sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight and six-year-old Cruz out for a boys dinner at the upmarket Fig & Olive restaurant in West Hollywood.

'Everybody was in a very good mood, and they left happy,' a source told the website.
David and his three sons sat with some members of Victoria's family who were in town from the UK, and are said to have enjoyed dishes including filet mignon and olive oil-mashed potatoes.
'The kids seemed happy, but they are such boys,' a source close to the family added. 'It will be interesting to see how they take care of their little sister.'

Following the birth of his daughter on Sunday morning, David made an announcement on his Facebook page.
'I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham,' he wrote.
'She weighed a healthy 7lb 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister.’
The child was born by elective Caesarean, in the same way as the Beckhams' older children.
A source told The Sun that David was so happy about the new arrival that he was literally crying with joy.
The insider said: 'David has been crying with joy. They are all so happy.'
The Beckhams’ decision to name their newborn daughter Harper is reported to be after a character on their sons favourite TV show Wizards Of Waverly Place, which features a character named Harper Finkle.
‘The entire family had input – Victoria and David love the name, but it was the boys who actually came up with it,' said a source.
‘Victoria loved it because it’s an Olde English name and even though Harper is an American by birth, she will always have English roots.’
The Mail has been told that former England captain Beckham used to read books based on the Wizards Of Waverly Place series to the three boys when they were younger.
