Long-distance dad David Beckham

David Beckham helps his children with their homework over Skype.

Despite currently living in Italy - where he is on loan to AC Milan from his regular team Los Angeles Galaxy - the soccer ace is still helping wife Victoria with their children Brooklyn, ten, Romeo, seven, and Cruz, four via the internet videophone service.

Victoria is quoted by website Absolute Now as saying: "David's in Milan at the moment. I'm here and the kids are at school. "The other night I said to David, 'I am really struggling with the homework here and I have so much going on at the house' so I sat Brooklyn down in front of the computer and they Skyped for 20 minutes. "Brooklyn did his reading to Daddy over the Skype."

Victoria insisted that David does everything he can to remain a good husband and father, even though he is unlikely to return to California until the end of the summer. She added: "We speak about 10 or 15 times a day. But he's not back until after the World Cup in July or August."

David has previously admitted to finding his sons' schoolwork "complicated". He once said: "Their homework is so hard these days. I sat down with Brooklyn the other day -- and I was like, 'Victoria, maybe you should do the homework tonight.' "
