The men enjoyed some alfresco dining as David threw an arm around his eldest and youngest son while they sat at a dinner table. 

Romeo sported a white T-shirt with buttons down the centre as he fixed the camera with a smile. His dark hair was slicked back from his face leaving one strand hanging down across his forehead.

David donned a similar long-sleeved polo shiry in an off-white colour as he cuddled into Brooklyn in the sweet snap. 

Younger brothers Romeo, 18, and Cruz, 16, flanked the pair as the family were all smiles for the camera during the birthday festivities.
