David Beckham on family:

What ages can your boys have tattoos?

My youngest had tattoos all over his arms when I came home from the world cup, thankfully not real. Romeo said he's going to have mummy and daddy on my arm.

I'm not sure Victoria will like that too much! My dad had a few but my mum doesn't like them.

Do you talk about what the kids do?

Everyday the kids say something funny. Brooklyn doesn't say much. Cruz will talk the whole day. Romeo the same but Brooklyn says hardly anything. He's starting to notice girls, typical teenager.

As high profile professionals, how do you and Victoria juggle parenthood with everything else?

Our priority is the children. We respect our careers and love what they've given us and the countries we've been able to see but the children are our priority whether I'm playing for England at one side of world and Victoria at the other.

We always make sure one of us is with the boys. It's very important to us.

But how do you do it? You always look so fresh?

No, that's my wife, I just stick a hat on!

Obviously we have a schedule and we make sure everything is around the kids' schooling, their breaks, things I have to do, things she has to do.

It's been tough as I was in Milan playing then I got injured and we went on holiday for four weeks which not been able to do in 15 years.

Where did you go?

Not telling you! Funny time was when I flew into Heathrow and Victoria was in another terminal flying out but we always make time for each other, the boys are the priority but we make time for each other.

Do you have date nights?

Of course, sometimes we go for a drive in the car.

That's your date?!

Yes sometimes. When we were in Manchester we'd often just jump in the car and drive to London. It's important to do that, make time for each other.
