Victoria Beckham's son Brooklyn is set to start dating Kate Beckinsale's daughter. Actress Kate has given Brooklyn - Victoria's eldest son with her soccer star husband David - her blessing to romance Lily, even though both children are only nine.

She is quoted by Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "I am dreading the day Lily brings home a boy. But she and the Beckham boys get on really well. So if she did have to have a boyfriend, then I suppose Brooklyn would get my seal of approval!" Kate, 34, has become close friends with Victoria since the former Spice Girl moved to Los Angeles with David and their three sons - Brooklyn, five-year-old Romeo and Cruz, three - last summer.

Speaking at Tuesday's (03.06.08) Glamour Women of the Year Awards - where she was named Actress of the Year - Kate revealed Victoria, 34, had passed on a crucial style tip. She said: "Victoria gave me nipple covers. You don't want your little peas sticking out, do you?"
