Despite having welcomed daughter Harper Seven Beckham a full 10 months ago, David Beckham can’t quite believe he’s got a baby girl on his hands. The tattooed soccer star spoke about fatherhood and life with Victoria Beckham, their three sons and baby girl, in a new interview with Elle magazine.

Speaking of the “great” feeling of being father to a baby girl, David Beckham shared:

“I love to bite her legs, or shoulders. It’s how a baby should be. She’s so beautiful. There’s no more love for a daughter than there is a son, but it’s just different.”

“When they [boys] are kids you can roll them around and they fall to the sides and they pick themselves up and they’re fine. Whereas Harper, now, she hits herself just slightly and she cries…. I still think ‘Oh God, I can’t believe this, I’ve got a girl.’ And to see the boys with her it’s incredible. When they walk into the room, her little face lights up.”
