"She loves fashion as all little girls do — she lovesputting makeup on and playing with my shoes – but she loves sports," Victoria told Amy Robach. "She's a littletomboy because obviously she has three brothers."

"She said to me the other day, 'Mommy, I think I wantto play football,' " Victoria admitted. "Dagger through the heart. Ihave three boys that want to play football. Come on, let one of them want to bein fashion or dance."

Victoria also talked to GMA about her boys — Brooklyn, 16,Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10 — and howproud she is of them. "We've always been strict with the children; theyhave great manners and they always say 'please' and 'thank you' and I think that'svery important. At the same time they're still fun. And they still run aroundthe house and they're crazy and they're singing and they're dancing and they'rekicking footballs around, which I don't allow them to do but that seems to bethe one area that I can't discipline them in, they will not stop playingfootball in the house."
