David Beckham Won't Let Harper Date, Says 'She's Rapunzel'

David Beckham has admitted he's dreading the day that his daughter Harper becomes interested in boys

Harper Beckham might only be a few weeks shy of two years old, but her dad David Beckham is already fretting about her dating boys.

With three brothers in the family, it was almost inevitable that she'd be given a hard time about her love life, but we weren't expecting her dad to be so protective just yet. The retired footballer's latest quotes prove that he's not ready to let her go... and it sounds like he never will be.

When asked by The Sun today how he feels about Harper dating, he said: "Absolutely not. She’s not going out. She’s going to be like Rapunzel – up in the tower."

Well this might just be the cutest thing we've ever heard.

David also added that he and Victoria are more protective of their only daughter, than they are their three sons, Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, ten, and eight-year-old Cruz.

He added: "To have a daughter is a whole different thing. I’m not saying I love my daughter more, but the boys are independent."

Yesterday, Harper was spotted being escorted around LA in the arms of Victoria Beckham's hairstylist, Ken Paves. Well, she'll need someone to tame those long Rapunzel locks...
