We LOVE the sound of the festive season round at the Beckhams’ house
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham at The British Fashion Awards, London Coliseum 23 November 2015
David Beckham might be a global superstar (and winner of People’s Sexiest Man Alive title this year, let’s not forget) but when it comes to Christmas it seems he’s just like the rest of us.
The 40-year-old star is looking forward to spending the festive season with wife Victoria and their four children Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 10 and Harper, 4, and this week has been opening up about their cute family traditions. Awww.
‘I think like every other person’s Christmas it will be very normal,’ says David.
‘We open presents, we enjoy ourselves, we have a traditional Christmas dinner. So we’re exactly the same!
‘We always spend Christmas in London because it’s home and all of our family are here. We’re very traditional.’
Sounds lovely, can we snag an invite please Becks? No? Ah well, worth asking.
With his Christmas plans being so endearingly normal, we’d imagine David faces the same dilemmas as us at this time of the year too. Namely finding a present for that person who’s always really hard to buy for.
But whilst you might expect fashion designer Victoria, 41, to be a tricky one to pick a gift for given that she’s probably got EVERYTHING, Becks insists he’s got it covered.
‘She’s not actually [difficult to buy for],’ he tells BBC Breakfast. ‘I think when you’ve been with someone for so long, people do say that.
‘They turn round and say, “It must be so difficult to buy for Victoria” because she has a lot of things you’d think about going to buy for your wife or your girlfriend.
‘But actually I know her so well and I know the simple things she likes and enjoys, so she’s okay to buy for.’
Ooh, we wonder what Victoria will be getting from her man this year? Give us a clue, David!
Something tells us Christmas round at the Beckhams’ pad will be pretty special…
David Beckham has only gone and done it again! Sorry, Brooklyn!
You know the deal- it happens every year.
Your dad has one too many of the mulled wines, gets a lil’ misty eyed then begins prancing around to your mums specially made Christmas album whilst you watch on in a daze.
And, whilst we may be past the ‘DAD OMG YOU’RE SO EMBARRASSING’ stage of our lives, this isn’t to say that the festive fiasco is anything but highly amusing.
And do you know what would make the annual-fatherly-festive-embarrassment *even* better? If the one and only David Beckham were our dad. But, like, not in a creepy way.
Serial offspring-embarasser Becks has been up to his usual tricks of late. The 40-year-old father of four has taken to Instagram to pull another of his infamous clever ones over son Brooklyn– and it is just marvellous.
Shared with all 17 million of Becks‘ followers, the post reads ‘Brooklyn looking his cool self… Sorry but I had to post this… Love you big boy’- as the poor 16-year-old poses with some kind of festive animal/human creature- perhaps our Christmas game is entirely not on fleek, because we just have no clue…
The snap has proved itself highly amusing to the followers of David, with comments reading ‘@DavidBeckham still settling the scores on this father and son war, loving the caption’, ‘Haha so cute’ and ‘I’m sure he’s loving it really!’. One less crimbo pressie for your old man, Brooklyn?
This is anything but the first time Becks has done a dad-trick (we’re calling it that from now on. Sorry, dad)- having most recently revealed his son had stolen his jumper in an Instagram picture Brooklyn posted.
If it’s any consolation, we’d nick your jumper too David. But again, not in a creepy way. *Ahem*
Restraining order? What do you mean restraining order?! BUT IT’S CHRISTMAS!
Clue: a lot. Becks really loves his steak and ale!
David Beckham
There are many bad things we would do for good ol’ bit of pie and mash. Cut off our right arm? Why ever not. Sell our very own mother? Heck, we’ll throw our dad into the deal too!
But would we spend a full 1,000 smackers for a bit of steak and ale, à la David Beckham?! Another matter entirely…
That’s right folks- our fave footie fiend Becks has allegedly forked out ONE-THOUSAND-POUNDS to have his favourite pie served to him whilst on board a flight to America.
As reported by The Sun, ‘[David] ordered from Tony’s Pie and Mash Shop in Waltham Abbey, Essex and the cost of serving it on board took the normal price of £4.45 to a jaw-dropping £1,000′. That right there is HELLA big pie goals, people.
The Sun also quoted the manager of a catering company, On Air Dining, cryptically revealing that ‘a sports star who used to fly back and forth from London while based in the US wanted pie and mash..It cost over £1,000 for us to get it, take it to the airport and get it through security’. Hmm….
As amusing as we’re finding all this pie talk, we’re also pretty sceptical that a fella as humble as Becks would fork out such an extortionate amount for a lil’ bit of mash- especially considering his rep has denied the claims.
Let’s just hope that Becks doesn’t like mash as much as a likes chocolate- we doubt even David could pull off the potato-face look…
If you could award knighthood’s to people for being HELLA sexy, this fella’ would have been knighted around seven already.
Unfortunately, people are not knighted solely for being sexy- they have to do nice things first and blah blah blah….
We know, we know… It’s all too much to process.So it’s lucky for us that David Beckham, as well as being ridiculously sexy, is a very very nice person and does the nice things required to gain knighthood.
And for those that missed Becks doing extremely nice things on TV last night (no excuses, people), allow us to update you on what the 40-year-old has been up too lately.
The father-of-four is fronting a very touching BBC documentary, The Love of The Game.
The show documented David embarking upon an epic journey across all seven of the continents, with the aim of playing a football match in each- a challenge which had to be completed in time for the retired footballer to make it home to Old Trafford for his own UNICEF fundraising match.
The journey saw Becks join communities in some incredibly remote places, such as a Djibouti refugee camp in Africa. Speaking of his travels, David shared that it was ‘shocking to see how children’s lives can be turned upside down as a result of conflict and violence and as a father it breaks my heart to see children living in such difficult circumstances’.
The project has touched so many, David is now the subject of many demanding a knighthood is awarded. One Twitter user shared, ‘David Beckham deserves a knighthood no question. Highlighting world poverty through the universal language of football. What a guy’.
Proud David watches Victoria and daughter Harper have fun in the sun
Victoria Beckham and Harper Beckham at the beach 4 January 2016
Can you remember the last time you saw Victoria Beckham in a bikini? Nope, us neither – until now.
Seeing the fashion designer in a two-piece is a very rare occurrence but hubby David Beckham cheekily shared a new snap of her rocking swimwear with Instagram fans last night.
The picture shows Victoria, 41, posing at the beach with daughter Harper, 4, as the sun begins to set on the scenic location.
VB and her youngest child exchange a look in the snap and it clearly melted David’s heart.
‘Mummy & Me … Sunset girls ☀️,’ the 40-year-old star captioned the photo. Awww.
Victoria looks to be sporting a dark red number whilst Harper wears some more colourful swim gear.
The cute picture went down well with David’s fans and many praised mum-of-four VB for her impressive figure.
‘she’s had four kids, like how? ,’ one commented, whilst another simply wrote: ‘Lovely… Look how similar their profiles are. So special.’
It’s unclear where in the world the Beckhams are at the moment but it certainly looks good to us! Not that we’re jealous or anything…
The whole family seem to be having a good time though. Victoria and David’s eldest son Brooklyn has also been hitting the beach and took Harper along with him for a walk on the sand over the weekend.
‘Special time with my lil sis. Love you ❤️,’ he told his social media fans after posting a photo from the outing.
It comes after the whole clan spent some quality time together over the festive period, with Victoria posting a sweet picture of the family during the celebrations.
‘Happy Christmas!! Lots of love from the Beckhams!!we love u!! @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham x vb ,’ the fashionista wrote.
Posh also cosied up with her man over the holidays and David shared a lovey shot of them sharing a kiss over New Year.
‘Have an amazing 2016 ❤️❤️,’ the former footballer told fans.
Brooklyn and Harper Beckham walking on the beach, 'Special time with my lil' sis. Love you'
Prepare yourself for some SERIOUS holiday envy: the Beckhams are away and it looks absolutely amazing.
The superstar family have been quite secretive about their holidaying location though there is speculation. While it has been said they are in the Maldives (jel), it could be they are in the Caribbean’s Turks and Caicos islands (so jel).
But fear not, they’ve shared loads of pictures. Which, you know, makes the whole cold and rain and working thing sort of better.
So prepare for some family feels because they’re coming at you.
Most prominent on instagram is everyone’s favourite photographer, Brooklyn Beckham, who may have stolen the award for cutest picture ever with this adorable snap with his younger sister, Harper, four. The pair are hand-in-hand walking across a beautiful and empty beach.
He captioned it, ‘Special time with my lil sis. Love you <3’ and all our hearts melted. They’re so cute. We told you there’d be family feels.
Brooklyn also posted this fun picture of the Beckham and their friends, the Ramsay, clans on a seaplane. This image apparently contains every facial expression known to man.
While Brooklyn pokes his tongue out, Romeo, 13, is screaming just like his dad Davidbehind him, sitting next to Gordon Ramsay. Which is great, because Harper is mimicking her mums teethless fashion gaze and it is. So. Cute. Cruz, 10, is taking the family modeling to a whole other level by Zoolandering the pic.
David and Victoria Beckham
Victoria and David have both been sharing little snaps as well. The footballer has been melting the world’s heart with not only this super rare photo of the gorgeous Victoria in a bikini with their little girl, but also posting their shared kiss during New Year’s Eve. So many feels.
Meanwhile, the fashion entrepreneur has posted a pic of a mangled beach towel in the shape of a monkey: ‘It’s amazing what you can do with a beach towel when you put your mind to it!’ That’s true. Well done Victoria.
Now reign that holiday envy back in and let’s focus on the next one. January doesn’t last forever!
David Beckham revealed to Nick Grimshaw that his wife Victoria is a strict parent
David Beckham
When the Beckham kids are naughty, it’s not David Beckham who dishes out the discipline. Instead, it’s Victoria who keeps things in order.
While speaking to Nick Grimshaw on his Radio 1 Breakfast Show, David revealed that his wife is the strict parent, and the kids Brookly, Romeo, Cruz and Harper are more scared of her than they are of him.
‘Victoria is the strict one. I think the kids are definitely more scared of Victoria than myself!’ he told Grimmy.
David wasn’t actually on the show to talk about his family life, though. He was there to promote his involvement with a charity football match, that’ll see him reuniting with his old manager Alex Ferguson – who once threw a shoe at his head – next month, to raise funds for UNICEF.
He also revealed that he’d like to see Grimmy don some football boots and join in the game!
‘I’d love you to come and play on the right wing if you can. I’m a big fan of your football skills,’ David told the host.
We reckon Grimmy will be a bit busy with his radio and X Factor commitments, but we’re looking forward to David’s return to the pitch!
In aid of Unicef, David Beckham goes to play football in Antartica along with sports agent David Gardner
There’s football, and then there’s extreme football. And that seems like exactly whatDavid Beckham will be up to as he’s headed to the icy and frosty lands of Antartica.
The 40-year-old British footballer has shared a snap on his Instagram of the cold conditions he’ll be having a kick-about in, and we’re going to be honest, we feel a bit chilly just looking at it!
David posted a good ol’ fashioned selfie of himself in full on snow gear of a big puffy jacket and beanie hat, while showing a football pitch marked out behind him in the glistening snow.
‘Just marked the pitch out … Anyone see the corner flag behind me ?? game 5 Antartica WOW no words !!!! #loveofthegame’
With Becks being a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, it’s no surprise that he’s taking part in Game 5 for the organisation.
Sport agent David Gardner (who’s the other half of Liv Tyler don’t cha know) also shared a pic of him and David Beckham all wrapped out in the cold. SO wrapped up in fact, we almost didn’t recognise ya Becks!
Remember to warm up before starting your match – you’ll need it out there…

As Brooklyn Beckham steps out at the Burberry show during London Collections Men, we can't help but wonder if he's surpassed dad David in the cool stakes!
Brooklyn arrives at the show, 11 Jan 2016
Our first thought on seeing today’s snaps ofBrooklyn Beckham on the front row of Burberry‘s show at London Collections Men was how much like his superstar dad, David Beckham, he’s become.
But then, as we took in his stripy tee, skinny jeans and styled-just-so quiff, we had another thought: is Brooklyn actually cooler than his dad now!?
With his rugged sense of style and tattoo sleeves, David has always been high on our list of favourite celebrity men.
But, whilst there’ll always be a special place in our hearts for the football legend-turned-underwear model/whiskey maker/all-round perfect man that is David, his 16-year-old son may just be creeping ahead in the cool stakes.
From his celebrity friends to his on-point after school pursuits, check out the evidence below and decide for yourself!
He gets invites to all the best parties
Other than the Burberry show, in the last few months Brooklyn has attended the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Glamour Awards (as his mum’s date, no less) and a Ralph Lauren presentation. Meanwhile, David has been stuck at home eating Wotsits whilst watching EastEnders on the sofa (or so we like to imagine).
He’s a sk8r boi
Which instantly scores him an extra 10 cool points, doesn’t it? Check out this ‘sick’ move, as the kids might say…
A video posted by Brooklyn Beckham (@brooklynbeckham) on
He’s friends with all the cool kids
When he’s not appearing in music videos for his mates The Vamps, Brooklyn can be found hanging out with his circle of fellow hot young things, including Selena Gomez, Jayden and Willow Smith, One Direction and Arianna Grande.
He DJs at parties
OK, he DJ’ed at his mum’s work party – but when your mum is Victoria Beckham and the ‘work’ is celebrating her swanky fashion boutique’s first birthday, we reckon that can be classified as officially awesome.
As well as snapshots into his insane life as the offspring of the world’s most famous couple, Brooklyn’s (mostly black and white) Instagram feed is full or arty shots such as this one.
And, with the teenager telling Miss Vogue he wants to study photography after he finishes his A-levels, could a career as an A-list snapper be just around the corner?
He’s got the coolest set of wheels
At 16, Brooklyn’s just too young to get behind the wheel of his famous dad’s incredible fleet of luxury cars, which includes a Ferrari, a Bentley and a vintage Aston Marton – but who needs a swanky car when Wizboard (AKA makers of the ‘It’ gadget all the cool kids are riding) gifts you their latest board for free? Not Brooklyn…

How do we love thee, David Beckham? Let us count the ways...
After much consideration (which may or may not have included a good hour or starting at pictures of him in his pants), we’ve come to the conclusion that David Beckham is truly a perfect specimen of a man.
And we have good reason for thinking this. Nine of them, actually…
1. He knows that a cup of tea makes everything better
Just when you thought David Beckham couldn’t get any more perfect, he goes and does something like THIS.
The former footballer, proud dad and all-round beautiful man proved he’s a good samaritan this week when he surprised a paramedic and their elderly patient with a cup of tea served by his own fair hand.
Catherine Maynard was treating a pensioner who’d suffered a fall on the cold streets of Central London street on Monday (1 February) when Becks appeared with a round of hot drinks (we like to imagine there was also a ray of light shining on him from heaven at the time).
Catherine told reporters: ‘All of a sudden, I looked up and saw someone who looked like David Beckham walking past us. He said hello and got in his car. I said to the man I was treating, ‘I think that was David Beckham’.
‘Ten minutes later, he came back with a cup of coffee for me and a tea for the patient.’
‘We were both very amused, and flattered. It was awful cycling around in the cold and I couldn’t believe it when he came back with some hot drinks – I was so chuffed.’
What. A. Guy.
2. His family are his world
It only takes a quick glance at his Instagram feed to realise that David is allll about family. From proud-dad moments featuring children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 10 and 4 year old Harper to lovey-dovey posts about wife Victoria, home is clearly where David’s heart is.
‘In my career there’s many things I’ve won, and many things I’ve achieved,’ he once said. ‘But my greatest achievement is my family.’
Excuse us a moment, there’s something in our eye…
3. He’s not afraid to show his emotions
When Becks bowed out of his professional footy career for good, it was a super emotional moment. In his final moments on the pitch at French club Paris Saint Germaine, the star – who clocked up 27 trophies and 115 international appearances in his 20 year career – was visibly overwhelmed by the occasion, culminating in a wave of emotional tears as he left the pitch for the very last time. OH DAVID.
4. Being a good role model is his priority
When boxer Tyson Fury caused, well, fury over comments he made that were deemed to be misogynistic and homophobic, Saint David had some wise words of advice.
‘In the sporting world, when you’ve been successful, it’s a big thing, but it’s more important to be a good role model,’ he explained.
‘When you’re at the top, when you’re at the highest point in your sport, being a role model is even more important than anything else.’
Well said, Dave.
5. He uses his fame for the greater good
Becks has lent his name to numerous charities throughout his career, most notably UNICEF; he’s currently a Goodwill Ambassador for the children’s charity, and left us with a lump in our throat when he made an emotional speech about the suffering of children last year.
‘It breaks my heart to see the struggles that children and young people across the world face every day,’ he said.
Cue wobbly lips all round – including his.
6. This. Just THIS
7. He’s totally in love with his pup
Olive Beckham is arguably the cutest member of the famous family, and Becks clearly adores her, often sharing snaps of the chocolate brown cocker spaniel on his Instagram feed. And, as we all know, the only thing hotter than a gorgeous man is a gorgeous man with a dog. FACT.
8. He makes a point of giving back
When you’re already worth millions (as a family, the Beckhams are reportedly worth £508m), who needs an extra £170,000 a week? Not David, who generously gave his ENTIRE salary from his year at Paris Saint-Germain to local children’s charities – a whopping £3.4m, according to reports.
9. That goal
What more do you need to prove that this man was sent from the heavens than this bit of footballing wizardry?

It says something about humanity that we have all these films like I, Robot and Jurassic Park warning us of the dangers of taking technology too far and yet we never, ever listen.
…
A sex toy company has created an 8 inch dildo in the shape of football legend David Beckham. They have taken the shirtless figure of the football legend and super-nice guy and moulded him into a silicone sex toy.
Courtesy of celebritydildos.com
Wearing his Manchester United shorts, he sits behind two gigantic… balls? Footballs? Foot-balls?
What’s better is that the sex toy comes in four different colours – full colour (as described above), platinum (for the fanciest of affairs), flesh (what you think), and gold – because YES, David had the nickname ‘Goldenballs’ so now he is literally golden balls.
All of this comes courtesy of Australian company Celebrity Dildo, who have named their latest product ‘The Buckham’, because of course they have. Though if the Sexiest Man Alive award-winner doesn’t strike your fancy, they’ve also got ‘Leboned’ for American Basketball player LeBron James and the ‘Kock,’ for Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Their website says: ‘Celebrity Dildo is a new and exciting range of premium silicone dildo’s that combine the two worlds of novelty and function.
‘Our products are the result of truly innovative design and some exciting manufacturing breakthroughs.’
Again, if we’re talking statements about humanity, ‘exciting manufacturing breakthroughs’ and ‘dildo’ are in the same paragraph.
They continue: ‘Made of premium medical grade silicone, they are a firm yet flexibleand velvet to the touch, durable, non-porous, odorless, hypoallergenic and phthalate-free.’
So there you have it. If you were one of the people disappointed about Justin Bieber turning down $50,000 to have his own willy turned into a dildo, then we guess you’re in luck.
David and Victoria Beckham’s marriage has been under speculation for months, with several sources hinting at the couple getting a divorce.
The latest rumour comes from The Sun, which reported that their marriage is danger because their work commitments this year will see them spending six months apart.
A source told the paper: ‘Despite the scrutiny their marriage has under, they’re not doing more things together. In fact, if anything, it’s getting worse.
‘They’re only going to be n the same country half of the time this year. It’s hard to see how they will manage to make it work.’
Victoria Beckham will be flying everywhere from New York, Milan and Paris for their fashion weeks, as well as Hong Kong to open one of her shops. David, on the other hand, is spending a lot of his time in Miami creating his football (soccer, as they say)
Six months is a long time to spend apart, but the Beckham’s are used to their work commitments keeping them apart.
In fact, the pair have consistently dismissed these rumours, with Victoria telling Grazia last October: ‘Yes we travel a lot with our respective businesses and charitable commitments. But we always make time for each other as a couple and as a family.’
She added: ‘David and I both have a strong work ethic and I believe that’s a good example to set our children.’
What’s more is only a few days ago an insider spoke to HollywoodLife: ‘The fact is they have never been happier and more in love with each other as they continue to raise their four beautiful kids and divide their time between family and work.
‘The only reason people jump to conclusions that they may be going through rough patches is because they do so much travelling alone because of their work commitments.’
That’s that then, right? Well to hammer the point home even further, we’ve collected some pictures that PROVE they can handle six months apart.
One of those that you can't look at it and not go 'omg'
Awwwwwwwwww
Just look at those paws!
Dogs are the best thing that ever happened to the world, but some are just cuter than others we’re afraid. It’s a dog eat dog world.
And while some celebrity dogs do have their charms (Miley Cyrus’ puppies are georgous; Carrie Fisher’s is hilarious), we can all agree that Olive Beckham takes home the bone for best dog ever.
It’s true, the little cocker spaniel can lighten up any twitter feed and is one of those dogs you point out in the park and shout ‘Doggie’.
Here’s the facts laid out: 1) her mum and dad are Victoria and David Beckham. 2) she’s chocolate (colour) and that’s arguably the most adorable dog colour. 3) She has 77.6 THOUSAND followers on Instagram.
That’s right, on her Instagram account set up by big brother Brooklyn Beckham with two pictures and two videos, she has more followers than any of us will ever have. But don’t let the sparsity of her own Instagram put you off: we’ve scoured the internet and have gathered all the sweetest pictures of the charming little dog.
It looks like the music superstar has a problem with David’s tattoos! Specifically, it’s the lower back tattoo that doesn’t meet the Biebs exacting tat-standards.
When discussing his own inkings with GQ, the Sorry singer said: ‘I can’t say I feel lower back tattoos on a male or female. I think David Beckham has a lower tramp stamp.’
Tramp. Stamp. TRAMP STAMP. He said that David Beckham has a tramp stamp. But wait, he then points to the camera. He directly points through that lens at the footballer and you, the viewer, and says: ‘That’s no good.’
Wow. Our condolsences to the Beckham family after that sick burn.
Justin Bieber does explain the meaning to his ultra-famous tattoos the 21-year-old got during his transition from baby-faced sweetheart to the bad boy of pop.
His first tat was a seagull on his lower abdomen which he adorably calls a ‘little guy.’ He said: ‘It’s based on this book that my whole family read… and basically it’s about this seagull who wanted to be more than just a seagull.’
We think he’s talking about himself there.
Other significant inkings include his mum’s eye on his left arm and her birth date on his chest (cute). Though there’s that one of Selena Gomez on his wrist, which is awkward. He tried to hide her face with shading (of the technical variety) but as he admits, ‘people still know.’
He also has an Owl on his left arm and he claims it represents wisdom. He doesn’t reveal when he got it, but…
If we were to list all the reasons why David Beckham is so lovable, we’d be here all day. However, one thing that we love about Becks in particular is how much of a family man he is!
Barely a week passes without David giving a swoon-some declaration of love to wife Victoria Beckham or intentionally embarrasing son Brooklyn Beckham – and now we know that his tendency to declare his love online extends to his siblings too.
David posted a picture of himself and younger sister Joanne as tots on Friday afternoon to celebrate her 34th birthday. The adorable pair are seen sitting on a bike together and giving some angelic smiles to the camera.
As if this picture wasn’t enough, David’s accompanying message is also super sweet:
‘Happy birthday sis… Sorry about the pic but you know I love ya… Have an amazing day. One of the sweetest girls you will ever meet that has the biggest heart’, David captioned the sweet Instagram shot.
As it turns out, Baby Becks + a beautiful tribute to his little sister = a whole lot of online love.
‘You are so family oriented and that’s honestly what made me a fan of yours’, commented one user fondly, while another chimed in with: ‘So sweet! Never stop loving your sister. There’s nothing like sibling love’.
This sense of love for your siblings is clearly a sentiment that’s been passed on to his own kids: Brooklyn, for example, is always seen carrying little sis Harper in his arms.
Ahh, what a lovely tribute. David, never change please!
Just a skim through Brooklyn Beckham’s Instagram shows that not only does he have his mum’s pout, but also an eye for photography.
And while his shots can certainly raise a few impressed eyebrows, no one was expecting the first photography gig he landed to be with Burberry.
Shooting the iconic British fashion house’s fragrance campaign was a dream come true for the 16-year-old, but the family where left shocked when the Internet responded angrily to the unfair jump to the top, that David, 40, and 41-year-old Victoria’s eldest had had.
One leading photographer called the move ‘a devaluation of photography’ that showed a lack of respect for hardworking photographers, while another labeled it, ‘infuriating.’
And it’s not just the fashion world that found Brooklyn’s mega opportunity controversial, it’s also caused trouble at home, with David and Victoria fighting over how he approaches his career.
‘David and Victoria Beckham are at loggerheads over what to do with Brooklyn,’ a family insider tells us. ‘He is at such a crucial stage of his personal development and they have differing views over how best to proceed.’
And although David and Victoria have agreed on decisions regarding raising their children in the past, their own contrasting upbringings are now having an impact on their parenting.
‘David wants to allow Brooklyn to “stay young” for as long as possible, and not worry about career issues,’ says our source. ‘But at the same time he wants his son to learn the value of money, and not to assume that he will be handed life on a platter. In David’s terminology he doesn’t want Brooklyn to be a “silver spoon” kid.
‘David grew up with nothing and worked his way to the top – there’s a lot to be said for that. Victoria, however, who had millionaire parents and was very much indulged as a child, wants to bring Brooklyn on board Brand Beckham right away. Hence the Burberry photography contract – which was as blatant an example of nepotism as you will see.’
According to our source, the biggest bone of contention comes from David being sensitive towards the outside world viewing Brooklyn as ‘spoilt’, and all their efforts to raise grounded children being undone.
‘Victoria thinks it’s great – David thinks it’s not going to be good for Brooklyn in the long run. He doesn’t want people thinking his son is spoilt. So far they’ve done a great job of bringing up well-mannered kids who are a credit to them.
‘But Brooklyn is only human, and with everything coming to him so easily David is worried he’ll take it for granted and get lazy. There is a major difference of opinion right now, and the arguments are only going to get worse.’
Hmm, can’t they just send him back to work in that coffee shop in Notting Hill and be done with it?

You know what they say- being different is the stuff that makes us special.
So whether you iron your socks every Tuesday, have a passion for collecting Harry Styles memorabilia or simply love a good old line dancing sesh, embrace it….You special little thing you.
In fact, you and your freaky habits (no offence) are in absolutely cracking company- as the likes of David Beckham, Justin Bieber AND Leonardo DiCaprio all share an odd hobby or two.
Wanna know the top nine bizarre celeb hobbies? HELL YEAH YOU DO! Read on, ya’ lovely little oddball…
1. Leonardo DiCaprio…
Weirdly, Leo‘s odd hobby isn’t actually polishing his brand spankin’ new Oscar (though, we’re not 100% on that one). In fact, the 41-year-old actually loves a good old bit of bee-keeping, having taken the hobby up after the stress of the Oscar awards.
A source told The Sun that the actor has ‘even built a few hives for his garden… Beekeeping has helped take his mind off all the awards chat and has kept him chilled out’. Go on Leo, do the freaky dance…
2. David Beckham…
Becks recently confessed that he has a little thing for keeping inanimate objects in straight lines. Speaking to ITV, the 40-year-old shared ‘I have to have everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs. I’ll put my Pepsi cans in the fridge and if there’s one too many then I’ll put it in another cupboard somewhere’.
3. Khloe Kardashian…
If you haven’t already appreciated the astounding beauty of Khloe Kardashian‘s organised cookie jar, then you need to have words with yourself. Very strong words. The 31-year-old recently shared her hobby of cookie-jar-arranging to her website, joking ‘you say O.C.D. is a disease, but I say it’s a blessing’.
4. Ryan Gosling…
Get ready, folks- you’re about to fall EXTRA in love with Ryan Gosling (if that’s even possible). HE KNITS. WE REPEAT, RYAN GOSLING LOVES TO KNIT. *Explodes a little bit*.
Sharing with GQ Australia, 35-year-old Ryan confessed that his perfect day would be spent knitting, explaining ‘you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present. For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf’.
JUST MARRY US ALREADY, RYAN.
5. Simon Cowell…
We want to believe this one, we really, really do.
Allegedly, Simon Cowell has a daily habit of climbing trees. According to The Sun, 56-year-old Simon previously shared ‘I climb trees daily. It’s like a ritual’. Er….
6. Justin Bieber…
Not just a pretty face, Ol’ Biebs is also a Rubix Cube extraordinaire. Yep- 21-year-old Justin can solve a Rubix Cube in just two minutes. Don’t believe us? Watch his Carpool Karaoke with James Corden!
7. Dappy from N-Dubz…
According to Dappy, ‘Carping is my life’ (his words, not ours).
Yep, it turns out that N-Dubz’ Dappy is quite the fisherman- having starred in bizarre fishing TV show, Big Fish Off. Want to know the best thing? We haven’t even made this up.
8. Taylor Swift…
Tay-Tay is a fan making herself a snow globe (or eight). The 26-year-old shared a snap of her creations via Instagram- which she captioned ‘Home made snow globes with friends. The whole fleet!’.
9. Beyoncé…
Queen B actually has a passion for eating cornflakes- particularly Shreddies.
