David Beckham buys Brooklyn dragon lizard

Footballer rewards son for good grades

David Beckham has been married to wife Victoria for 10 years

David Beckham has a new addition to his family.

The LA Galaxy hunk has bought son Brooklyn, 10, an unusual pet as a reward for doing well in school.

‘I sat down with him to do his homework and I couldn't understand a word of it,' explains David, 34.

'So we promised him that if he got three As we'd buy him a bearded dragon lizard, which is my worst nightmare.

‘He came home from school the other day and handed me three sheets of paper with three As on it, so we had to go to Petco.'

David - who is also dad to Romeo, 7, and Cruz, 4, with wife Victoria, 35 - admits he's grown fond of the pets.

‘Our house is full of wildlife at the moment, crickets, lizards and all sorts but they deserve it,' he tells The Times.

‘Brooklyn works hard at school and then does an hour-and-a-half of homework every night.'
