He’s her firstborn pride and joy, but Brooklyn Beckham has been giving his mum Victoria a right old headache recently. After all, there are only so many sexploits one mother can hear.
And the latest revelation – that Brooklyn reportedly had a fling with Kate Moss’ younger sister Lottie – has only given her more to worry about.
According to insiders, Posh is mortified by Brooklyn’s growing reputation as a playboy and the public backlash he’s been getting as a result. And apparently, it’s also adding to the tension with her husband David.
“It’s one thing after another with Brooklyn, and he’s not showing any signs of caring about what his parents think,” an insider close to the Beckhams tells heat.
“He’s out nearly every night, and his minders say he’s constantly surrounded by party girls. He seems to love the attention. It’s devastating for Victoria because she invested so much in trying to raise him to be a gentleman.”
The 20 year old hit the headlines again last week, when news broke that he’d had a “secret fling” with model and former Made In Chelsea star Lottie, 21, last year, shortly before he started dating his now ex-girlfriend Hana Cross.

Since splitting with Hana, 22, Brooklyn’s been linked to multiple models, including Phoebe Torrance, 27, and Natalie Ganzhorn, 21, and has been spotted on numerous nights out with actress Nicola Peltz, 24.
Posh has been getting increasingly frustrated by her eldest son’s behaviour, especially as he seems to spend more time partying than working on his photography career.
Last week, he was spotted resuming his internship at photographer Rankin’s studio in London, but many were quick to blast him for living off his parents’ success.
One online commentator wrote, “This overprivileged waste of space thinks he is so cool,” while another added, “Brooklyn hasn’t lifted a finger to achieve anything by himself.” A third weighed in, “He is a lazy, unqualified, spoilt, work-shy child who only attracts attention by way of his parents.”

Meanwhile, his reported fling with Lottie drew comparisons with playboy Calum Best, another celebrity footballer’s son, who spent a good chunk of the noughties going out and hooking up with models.
According to our source, Victoria is well aware of the similarities, and feels she partly has David to blame. After all, David’s known for his partying ways, and it’s clear that Brooklyn idolises his dad.

“The problem is that Brooklyn seems to be trying to be more and more like David,” says our source. “When his mum has a go at him, he just says he’s acting like a normal guy. It’s caused massive issues at home.”
It’s a headache for the married couple, who, as heat has told you, are facing more challenges ahead as they prepare to spend time apart, with David launching his football team in Miami.
They’ve been trying to maintain a united front at home for the kids, but Brooklyn’s behaviour is testing them both, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
“It’s opened a can of worms between David and Victoria,” we’re told. “Things were going well, but now it’s back to petty rows and the past being dug up all over again. They’re both blaming each other.”
