London, Sep 18 (IANS): David Beckham has been cooking romantic meals for wife Victoria since the birth of their first daughter in July.

The couple already have sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz. Friends of David and Victoria Beckham say the arrival of their daughter Harper has rejuvenated their marriage, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Harper's made them feel like newlyweds again. She's rejuvenated the marriage. It wasn't that there were any problems - Victoria just felt they'd lost some of their sparkle, as any couple who've been married for over 10 years would. But now that Harper's brought out David's softer side again, all the romance has come flooding back," said a friend.

"It's like that little girl has just flipped a switch in David's brain and he's more in love with his wife than ever. He's been cooking romantic dinners for Victoria - something he hasn't done since they were married," the friend added.
