Brooklyn Beckham and Rita Ora enjoyed 'secret fling' before concerned Victoria intervened

Victoria Beckham wasn't a happy mummy when discovering her then 18-year-old son Brooklyn was sending 'flirty texts' to Rita Ora, then 26.

The budding photographer and the Let Me Love You warbler reportedly enjoyed a dinner date in 2017, much to Victoria's dismay.

According to the Mail Online, Brooklyn’s mum Victoria caught the duo sending 'flirty text messages to each other', and put an end to it there and then.

Posh saw a couple of texts they’d been sending. She didn’t want her boy being led astray, and didn’t want them partying together. ‘David and Victoria were adamant the pair shouldn’t date and made it very clear they didn’t approve.’

Although they apparently decided not to take their relationship any further, Brooklyn and Rita are still thought to be on good terms.

It seems Brooklyn has moved on from Rita's charm and now is very cosy with new girlfriend Hana Cross.

Posh spice turned posh fashion designer, Victoria Beckham seemingly approves of Brooklyn's new girlfriend and even gave her a shout out on her Instagram stories.

Sharing a picture of the young star, the mother-of-four wrote: ‘@hancross looking great in my #VBPress19 collection!! Xx VB’

Hana was also sent an exclusive selection of her Victoria's collaboration with Reebok, taking to Instagram to show off her new garms.

"Love love love my new beanie, hoodie and bomber from #reebokxvictoriabeckham", she wrote.

Brooklyn previously dated actress Chloe Grace Moretz, but the on-off pair ended their relationship at the beginning of 2018 after four years together.
