David Beckham revealed that he and wife Victoria Beckham were not invited to his son’s Brooklyn Joseph Beckham’s 16th birthday party. The former England Captain shared that his son is apprehensive of what would happen if his famous parents party with his friends.

In his interview with Good Morning Britain (via Daily Star UK), the famous athlete shared that his now 16-year old son is embarrassed when he and Victoria are around him. On his 16th birthday, Brooklyn expressly stated that he wanted a separate party for his friends. “I think he wants to go for a dinner with his friends and he’ll have a separate dinner with his family,” he said. “He’s at the age now when he doesn’t want me to drop him outside the school and things like that - which I definitely do anyway!” he added.

David also shared how much he loves teasing his son now that he is at the stage of wanting to be independent. At one time, David said Brooklyn asked to be dropped far from the school gates so that he would not be spotted by his son’s classmates. David said he dropped Brooklyn where he liked to be dropped but as his son was walking into school, he opened the window to shout, “I love you” to him. Beckham said this was his revenge since he got up at 7 in the morning just to drive his son to school and he was not happy that his son wanted him out of his classmates’ eyes. He said his son was not happy with his sweet gesture, but smiled about it a few days later. David also sweetly said he secretly kisses his son on the cheek even if he’s a growing boy.

Brooklyn is indeed growing up too fast for his parents. His mom Victoria Beckham recently said that she’s astounded by the number of girls chasing after him. Closer magazine (via Independent.ie) reported last month that on a family vacation, Brooklyn was hit on by many girls and Victoria was torn between feeling proud and horrified. She even joked that it “aged her by about 20 years.”
