Victoria Beckham has released a personal family snap to make even the coolest-hearted of observers come over all gooey.

The new mother took this picture of her baby daughter Harper Seven cuddling up to father David.

As well as the picture, she wrote on Twitter: 'I took this beautiful picture and wanted to share it with you, baby Harper cuddling Daddy! x VB'

The couple are currently residing in a Malibu beach-side mansion with their new daughter, as well as their three older boys Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Beckham was recently photographed enjoying the ocean surf with longtime friend Gordon Ramsay.

The footballer is evidently just as enamoured of his latest offspring, boasting a brand new tattoo on his left shoulder-blade, with Harper's name in curly bold italics.
