The teen has been busy pursuing a career in football, just like his dad.

She told fans of the Blended podcast: "I don't even know if anyone knows this. Lorenz doesn't live at home at the moment.
"He's in digs with another family. Because of what he's doing. He's playing football. We ain't just thrown him out".
Lorenz is though to have signed a contract with Brighton & Hove Albion under-18's team.
Rio went on to reveal that Kate had been "crying" over the situation, as she opened up about being emotional over Lorenz's moves.

It comes after Kate admitted they considered ‘giving up’ on their marriage at one point, questioning: "Will we last?"
The star is currently pregnant with her second child, and is stepmum to Rio and his late wife Rebecca Ellison's children.
But it hasn’t always been easy and in their latest podcast, Rio described how much had changed.
He said: “I was thinking about how at the beginning it was difficult.
"But now I’m just visualising loads of different scenarios where I might come in and you’re doing Tia’s hair, or she’s not well and she’s cuddling up to you or Tate, cuddling you and making you laugh and you’ve got quite a funny sense of humour, similar together.
"Or Lorenz, opening up and talking about things, where he wasn’t like that before.
“When you look at like that, a lot of yards have been had and have been done over this time. It’s been good.”
Kate continued: “Sometimes I just sit back, even with Cree here now and you watch them all play and us all laughing and being happy and you just think, 'Wow can’t believe we are here'.
“Because you used to pray for days like this and think, are they ever going to come?
“Is all this worth it? Sometime we would get in bed and say, 'Is this worth it? Do we give up?'”
Rio jumped in: “Are we going to last?” as Kate added: "We didn't give up, that's the one thing, we didn't do is give up."
Former England and Man Utd star Rio mused: “I think if you genuinely, if there’s love there, that overrides it, it’s like those old songs, innit?
