Victoria Beckham on her children

Victoria Beckham has revealed that her three sons with husband David Beckham are very different from each other.

Eldest son Brooklyn looks like he might follow in his dad’s footballing footsteps: “Brooklyn is the most amazing footballer. He managed 17 keepie-uppies the other day which for a boy his age is quite incredible. All he wants to do is play football and we’re always kicking about in the garden together.”

“He’s showing amazing potential and I think he could go all the way. I’d love it if he did play for England one day. That would make me so proud.”

Middle son Romeo though looks like he might follow his mum down the pop and fashion route: family friend Elton John sent the 4 year old a kareoke machine for his birthday last week because he “loves singing” and “he’s so into his looks it’s something else. He’ll say ‘Mummy, I want to wear this hat with this outfit’ and he won’t leave the house until he’s looking just right.”

And youngest son, 17 month old Cruz? “Cruz is a really intelligent little boy.”

“He chatters away all the time in English and knows a few Spanish words too. He’s very bright.”
