David Beckham reveals Victoria has tough time seeing Brooklyn go on dates

David Beckham has revealed that Victoria Beckham has hard time watching their oldest son Brooklyn Beckham go on dates. The teenager's parents are trying to sink in the fact that their 16-year-old son is dating.

During an appearance on Australian TV show The Project, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star said: "I think it's easier for me than Brooklyn's mum, you know? To see her little boy go out and date..."

"Obviously for mums I think it's slightly more difficult with the boys but obviously once Harper starts (dating)... I don't even want to think about that at the moment," he joked.

Brooklyn was recently rumoured to be dating French actress/model Sonia Ben Ammar. He was also was romantically linked to American actress Chloë Moretz.

Previously, during an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, the former England captain revealed he sat at a table in the same restaurant as Brooklyn, who had asked to take a girl out for Valentine's Day. He shared: "On his first date, which he was about 14 and a half, Victoria was actually in London. It was Valentine's Day and he said, 'I'd love to take this girl to dinner.' I said, 'OK, great.' I spoke to Victoria and she was like, 'Really?' I said, 'Yeah, he's going to do it.' She said, 'OK. Make sure you take him and make sure you sit in the restaurant.'"

"I was like, 'Really? You're gonna make me do that?' She said, 'Yep. That's the only way I'm going to let him go.' So we took him to a small sushi restaurant and he sat at the sushi bar and I sat about five tables back," he added.
