While we might secretly have been waiting for a reconciliation between Brooklyn Beckham and his ex-girlfriend Chloë Grace Moretz this summer, following a romance last year that saw the budding photographer surprise his then-girlfriend ahead of her speech at the Democratic National Convention and take adorable selfies of each other's matching footwear and reflections in lifts, it appears Brooklyn has finally moved on - with Justin Bieber's protégé, no less.

Last weekend, Brooklyn was reportedly spotted kissing American singer Madison Beer following a date at The Grove shopping mall, with the pair also enjoying a dinner with Victoria Beckham at Hollywood celeb haunt Catch on Saturday night.

However, the songstress has just come out to deny the pair are dating, admitting to BUILD Series: 'I'm very much single, not ready to mingle. I'm very much focused right now on my career. I'm 18 just trying to navigate my life and I'm having fun and there's obviously boys I can crush on, but I'm very much single.'

Talking about her alleged romance with Brooklyn, Madison added: 'He's great, though, he's a cutie, literally one of my best friends. It's hard because now every time I'm seen with him people are like, "Oh my god, they're boyfriend and girlfriend!" But we're seriously best friends.

'We hang out almost every day with our whole group of friends in LA together and he's moving to New York soon, so we're just having fun right now and rumours are going to get started,' she said.

The 18-year-olds were first spotted together at a Wonderland dinner hosted by Beer at The Ivy Soho Brasserie in London, years after the singer was discovered by Justin Bieber on YouTube in 2012 when he tweeted a link to a video of her singing, calling her a '#futurestar'.

Of course, it didn't take long for the singer to sign to Island records and amass more than 9.6 million Instagram followers, with Beer describing Bieber as 'like [a] big brother'.

The New York native made headlines earlier this month when an audio clip was leaked, which appeared to include the star's ex-boyfriend Jack Gilinsky verbally abusing her.

Following the leak, she shared a statement on Twitter encouraging other women to speak out against abuse.

In recent weeks, Victoria and David's eldest child has been spotted showing off his new falcon tattoo on Instagram, singing along in the car to 'uncle Elton [John]' (with who we think might be Madison signing in the background), and hanging out with friends.

Meanwhile, his mother has been breaking the news to the family's daughter Harper that she was once in Spice Girls, while David has been trying out his best Indian Jones impressions in the gym.

The Beckhams really are living the American dream right now.
