David Beckham says Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz "are happy boys"

In the new documentary David Beckham: New Beginnings, soccer star David Beckham -- who makes his debut for the LA Galaxy tonight -- seemed excited for the future while also sad to say goodbye to Spain and its people, who have rooted for him the last four years.  According to David, life in Madrid was also good for his wife Victoria and their three boys:  Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 4 and Cruz, 2. 

Brooklyn and Romeo have learnt Spanish.  Brooklyn is almost fluent...Romeo is the middle child, so he has a bit of a different personality.  He thinks he's fluent, he jabbers along...They're great little boys.  I turned 'round to them once and said 'where's your favorite house?' Is it Spain?  Is it the house in England?  Brooklyn just turned 'round and said 'Daddy, wherever you and Mommy are.  That's our favorite house.'  They're happy boys.

Victoria was criticized by some for her frequent absences from David's waning matches with Real Madrid, but according to David, the criticism was unfounded. 

Victoria's been accused of being away from the kids, from me, jollying it up in Los Angeles...When what she's been doing is working.  Trying to get the school situation sorted out.  She was even baking cakes, doing everything possible.  I actually think that when I arrive I'm going to be the school PE (Phys Ed) teacher.  I think she promised everything possible to get the kids in the school.

The boys have divergent tastes.  Brooklyn plays soccer "almost every day," according to David, while Romeo is "a little performer" who recently requested a wireless microphone for his birthday. 

I'll always support the kids in whatever they want to do but I would love them to be footballers.

Saying that he would love to add "one or two" children to their ever-growing family, David -- like his wife -- is thinking pink. 

I'd love a couple more.  I'd love a little girl.  We're blessed to have three beautiful boys already, and if we're blessed to have another one or two children, that would be amazing.  Three boys is difficult at times, but there's nothing that gives you that feeling of coming home and seeing the kids and spending time with them.  Nothing better in the world than that.  If you're a parent, then you realize that feeling.
