Cruz Beckham reveals his family’s Christmas routine

David Beckham pretends his children haven’t received any Christmas presents every year.

Cruz Beckham – the 11-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham – has revealed that his dad goes through the same routine every December 25 by trying to trick his children into thinking they have not been left any gifts by Santa.

He shared: "We always wake up at 6am. My Dad says, ‘Wait, let me check if there’s presents downstairs.’ After that, he comes up and is like, ‘Oh…there’s none. We all have to go up to bed.’"

Cruz – who has brothers Brooklyn, 17, and Romeo, 14, as well as a five-year-old sister called Harper – recently announced he is to launch a debut single, ‘If Every Day Was Christmas’, in aid of charity.

David, 41, admitted he is "really proud" of his youngest son, who is raising money for Global’s Make Some Noise charity, which aims to change the lives of young people across the UK.

Speaking to the ‘Capital London Breakfast Show’, David said: "I’m really proud. I mean he’s having fun, he’s enjoying it, you know."

Victoria was part of the Spice Girls, who have sold over 80 million records worldwide and are the the best-selling female group of all time – but her son cited James Arthur and Nathan Sykes as two of his biggest inspirations.

Asked to name his favourite song of the moment, Cruz said: "Well I’d have to pick ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ by James Arthur."

Cruz was also happy to dish the dirt on his parents during a game of ‘Mr. and Mrs.’.

Asked which of his parents was more likely to swear, he said: "100 percent my mum!"

And then questioned on whether David or Victoria was more likely to embarrass him, Cruz replied: "Definitely my dad, he is so embarrassing."

David and Victoria are among the most photographed people in the world, but Cruz revealed that his mother takes considerably longer to get ready to go out.

He shared: "She takes 10 hours, my dad takes 10 minutes."

David Beckham’s tattoos come to life for UNICEF campaign

David Beckham has called for an end to violence against children in a new UNICEF campaign.

The former footballer – who has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the charity for 10 years – has shot a one-minute film in which tattoos on his body come to life as animated scenes of abuse against kids to raise awareness of the subject.

He said: "When I launched my 7 Fund with UNICEF, I made a commitment to do everything I can to make the world a safer place for children and to speak out on issues that are having a devastating impact on children’s lives.

"One of those issues is violence. Every five minutes, somewhere in the world, a child dies from violence.

"Millions more are in danger of physical, emotional and sexual abuse that could destroy their childhoods forever."

The 41-year-old star – who has sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 11, and five-year-old daughter Harper with wife Victoria Beckham – recalled hearing about horrific child abuse when he was in Cambodia last year.

He added: "I visited Cambodia with UNICEF where I met and listened to children tell me about terrible violence they have experienced.

"I was shocked by what I heard and I saw how violence can leave deep and lasting scars. No child should have to endure this.

"Yet in all corners of the world, in their homes, schools and on their streets, children are suffering similar violence.

"I hope this new project will draw attention to this urgent issue and inspire action. Violence against children is wrong and together we need to end it."

David launched 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund in February 2015 to campaign against child abuse.

Justin Bieber has praised Cruz Beckham’s cover of his song ‘Home to Mama’.

Cruz’s mother Victoria Beckham unveiled a recording of him singing the track on her Twitter account on Monday (11.21.16) linking to the 11 year old up’s SoundCloud account which he intends to use to help him launch a pop career.

Justin has had a chance to listen to Cruz’s interpretation of his work and has taken to Twitter to reveal he is impressed by the young man’s talent.

Retweeting Victoria’s original post of the track, the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker wrote: "Young Cruz! Great job buddy #hometomama (sic)"

The Spice Girls star said: "He’s always the one that plays football, and he was just singing in the back of the car one day. And he was singing, and I was like, ‘Wow, you can really sing.’ And then he picked up his cups and off he went."

The entire Beckham family are fans of Justin and David, 41, took all his kids to see his concert at The O2 in London back in October.

Victoria Beckham kick-starts Cruz’s pop career

Victoria Beckham has set son Cruz up with a SoundCloud account to kick-start his pop star career.

The former Spice Girls singer has given her 11-year-old boy a helping hand on the music-sharing site and posted a link to his first effort, a stripped back cover of Justin Bieber’s ‘Home to Mama’.

She wrote on Twitter: "Cute!! X Cruz and @justinbieber x VB (sic)"

The audio clip features Cruz singing parts of the acoustic track and the ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker’s lyrics can be heard on other sections of the tune.

Cruz’s version of the song has been viewed on the site more than 26,000 times and his profile has attracted more than 700 followers at the time of writing.

He uploaded the song on Saturday (11.19.16) but is yet to share any more of his tunes.

Earlier this month, Victoria was said to be keen to oversee Cruz’s pop career, despite husband David – who she also has kids Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and five-year-old Harper with – thinking she is already too busy with her fashion empire.

A source said: "Victoria is adamant she needs to be Cruz’s manager and says it’s a no brainer given she has the vital experience from being in the industry for so long and knowing the mechanics of how it works.

"David thinks it is too much and doesn’t know how she’ll have the time to give Cruz the attention he needs. But she insists she’ll do whatever it takes and make sacrifices if need be to ensure she’s there to guide him."

What’s more, in September, Simon Cowell admitted he was keen to sign Cruz to his Syco record label.

He said at the time: "Get him in and we’ll sign him.

"I met them when they were younger and I have to say they are really incredible kids.

"They could have been really spoilt but they weren’t – they were really funny when they came down to one of the shows.

"I know the Beckhams get criticized for being in the public eye but if you’re in the public eye your kids are going to be too."

Mel B ‘never’ slept with Robbie Williams!

Mel B claims she’s the only member of the Spice Girls that hasn’t slept with Robbie Williams.

The 41-year-old singer – full name Melanie Brown – admitted her pal apologized to her after previously claiming he had bedded four out of the five members of the group, which also included Mel C, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, and Geri Horner.

Speaking on ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show’ on Australian radio station KIIS FM, Mel said: "He actually publicly apologized to me for all that mess… saying he had apparently gotten it on with all five Spice Girls. He wishes!

"I was the one he never did.

"He’s a friend of mine… Yuck! He had been with my friends – I don’t want sloppy seconds."

Robbie, 42, previously claimed he had "been in" four of the five Spice Girls, but later insisted his comments were a joke that had gone too far.

He said: "I told a joke a long time ago. And it sort of got out of hand. You know ‘Back For Good’ the Take That song, I used to sing that on stage.

"I still do. On one particular tour before it I introduced it by saying ‘I am very fortunate to have been in Take That and four out of five of the Spice Girls.’

"That was my intro to the song and it was a joke and the joke went too far."

And the ‘Party Like a Russian’ hitmaker – who has children Teddy, four, and Charlton, two, with wife Ayda Field – then apologized to the girls and their partners.

He added: "I would like to apologise to all the Spice Girls involved and their husbands and boyfriends. I know a few husbands and boyfriends weren’t too happy with the joke."

Meanwhile, the ‘Let Me Entertain You’ singer said in a previous interview that the joke has to "stop".

He said: "It’s unfair on the girls, we’re all older now, we’ve all got children; The joke’s not funny anymore.

"When I’ve said something that hurts somebody, I feel really bad about it."

Harper Beckham starts ballet training

Harper Beckham has started training at the English National Ballet.

The five-year-old daughter of retired soccer player David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham has taken up dancing at the prestigious ballet school, where her 41-year-old dad takes her every week.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "David and Victoria have entered Harper into the English National Ballet. She goes every week and David takes her to training himself and hangs out with the other dads there. It’s really sweet.

"Harper is of the age now where she is trying loads of different things but she really loves going to ballet.

"There really is no better place for her to learn than the English National Ballet. It’s up there with the most distinguished ballet schools in the world. Both David and Victoria love watching her perform and helping her practice too."

The news comes after 42-year-old Victoria – who also has three sons, 17-year-old Brooklyn, 14-year-old Romeo, and 11-year-old Cruz, with her husband – previously expressed concerns that none of her children wanted to follow in her fashion footsteps.

She said: "[Harper] loves fashion, you know, as all little girls do . . . but she loves sports. She said to me the other day ‘Mummy, I think I want to play football.’

"Dagger through the heart! I have three boys that want to play football, you know, come on, let one of them want to be into fashion or dance."

And Harper doesn’t have to worry about making friends at ballet school, as former Spice Girl Victoria previously claimed her daughter was "very sociable" and made friends easily.

She said: "[Harper] works very hard at school and is very sociable, so has a lot of friends. She has a better social life than I do! My children are all very happy and that’s the most crucial thing – they are happy, confident and secure in themselves."

Eva can always rely on the 42-year-old fashion designer – who has five-year-old daughter Harper and three sons, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 11, with her husband David Beckham – who is "loyal" and "super smart".

"I’m godmother to Harper. Being with aunty Eva isn’t as much fun as his friends."

David Beckham and his dad have matching tattoos

David Beckham and his father have matching tattoos.

The 41-year-old former England soccer star has multiple etchings all over his body, and has revealed the story behind a few of them in a new commercial for his new collaboration with skincare brand Biotherm Homme.

Explaining the tattoo of a ship he has etched just below his armpit on his torso, the star said: "The ship. My father has exactly the same tattoo."

On his torso, David has the words "we love you daddy", written in his children’s handwriting.

He said: "My children actually wrote the words ‘we love you daddy’."

He explained: "I was watching Harper draw one day, and I thought ‘I’m gonna have it tattooed on me.’"

The star – who is married to Victoria Beckham – previously debuted the tattoo on Instagram in October.

The caption at the time read: "Apparently Harper is allowed to scribble on daddy (sic)"

And David closed the commercial by explaining that his story is "written on [his] skin".
