David Beckham admits concerns for eldest son Brooklyn

Brooklyn now lives on the other side of the world

| Updated:

David Beckham has revealed he’s just like every other parent when it comes to concerns over his children.

He’s a proud dad to four kids – Brooklyn, 18, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 12, and Harper, six – but just three live at home now that eldest son Brooklyn has started university.

And not only has Brooklyn flown the nest, he’s also flown the country, leaving the UK for New York, where he’s studying photography at a prestigious college.

So you can forgive poor Becks for feeling worried!

In a recent interview with Evening Standard, he said: “When you have children – young children and older children going to university in America – you are of course concerned and worried.

“What are their lives going to be like? That’s my main concern.”

Becks added he also has concerns about the current political world, saying: “Obviously there are a lot of other things in terms of how businesses are going to survive, how people from Europe and other parts of the world are going to cope with changes.

“Hopefully that is going to be worked out. But in this current climate it’s uncertain.”

Brooklyn swapped the UK for the US in September, after signing up to further his photography dreams at a New York design school.

He has admitted in the past that mum Victoria found his departure from the family home difficult.

“I’m nervous, and my mum’s upset about me leaving, but it’s really exciting,” he told GQ.

“I kind of live in the moment. I don’t think people in New York will annoy me, and I feel like when I go there, I’ll meet lifelong friends. Stuff like that.”

Brooklyn’s already got a head start on his career having published his OWN photography book earlier this year called What I See – he’s probably the only undergrad on his course to be able to boast that!

But any fellow students hoping to bag themselves a Beckham boyfriend may be disappointed, as Brooklyn’s back together with his ex-girlfriend, Hollywood star Chloe Moretz.

The couple made their first public appearance together since getting back together at an event in NYC on Monday night.

Sorry, girls!
