David Beckham has finally admitted that his son Romeo is taller than him.
Romeo turned 18 today (September 2) and both his famous parents posted tributes to celebrate his day.

Posting a series of images to his Instagram Stories, David and Romeo could be seen standing face-to-face as they took part in a family measuring competition.
Both men appeared shirtless, with David wearing a pair of rather snazzy-looking Versace shorts.
