This is an expression that is very popular in American English; it is mostly used in informal contexts.
When you `spill the beans’, you unintentionally reveal a secret. The expression has more or less the same meaning as `let the cat out of the bag’.
Example: As expected, Sashi spilled the beans about Hari’s surprise party.
