"David's a huge romantic at heart. He's kept tons of love letters and cinema receipts from the early days of their life together and has all the kids' hospital birth tags," a website quoted a source as saying.

"He has decided to get everything put into a leather-bound book that he can give to Victoria as a memento of their time together," said the source.
