LOS ANGELES - David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, are moving to Beverly Hills this summer.

Beckham, 32, and his 33-year-old wife -- the former Posh Spice of the Spice Girls -- have purchased a home in Beverly Hills, Beckham spokesman Jeff Raymond confirmed Monday. They plan to move in July.

"I can only confirm they bought a home there,'' Raymond said.

Raymond wouldn't give any details about the house or confirm a Los Angeles Times report that the couple paid US$22 million for a 1,200-square-metre house on a property with city and ocean views.

Beckham has signed a five-year deal with Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy and will join the club this summer.
