    Not only is David Beckham one of the best football players in the world (or so we hear) but he's also in the running for best celebrity dad status. The sharp-looking star caught a Jonas Brothers gig with Cruz, Brooklyn and Romeo, who looked over the moon with the evening's events. What a softie.
