You’d expect English football star David Beckham to have high hopes for his three boys to carry on his football legacy but it’s his little girl Harper’s soccer skills that he’s bragging about.
The father of four and hunky husband to fashion designer Victoria Beckham loves watching his two-year-old play and hopes she will follow in his footsteps.
At the premiere of The Class Of ‘92, the new soccer documentary that depicts his early days with Manchester United, Beckham, 38, beamed about his baby girl and how much she loves playing football with her brothers, Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 9.
“Harper’s skills are coming on pretty well. We’ll see if she wants to follow in my footsteps or not, she loves playing it with the boys.” Beckham told the UK’s Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, in a recent Grazia interview, Victoria Beckham also boasted about Harper, admitting that at this stage it looks like she will follow in her father’s footsteps rather than her own.
“She’s very girlie, she’s very feminine, but at the same time she loves football. She loves to run around in football boots and a football shirt,” Victoria said.
“She’s got three older brothers – she’s not one of these little girls who falls over and instantly cries because she’s used to it.
“She [likes] a little bit of rough and tumble in the garden with her brothers, which is really nice.”
As for the boys of the family, they are certainly living up to their dad’s dreams of becoming football stars also.
Their eldest son Brooklyn has attended football trials at both Manchester United and Queens Park Rangers but has yet to sign with either team.
“Brooklyn isn’t close to signing anything yet, he’s just enjoying himself. He’s playing and enjoying it like every kid does so that’s great.”
