Tom Daley at the Out100 Celebration in Los AngelesTom Daley's youngest son has apparently inherited his athletic side.
The retired British diver has two young boys with his husband Dustin Lance Black, but son Phoenix Rose, 20 months, is "like, feral," Daley, 30, jokes.
"He is like a climber, runner, jumper," Daley tells PEOPLE at the Out100 Celebration in Los Angeles on Dec. 11. "Like anything he can do to try and hurt himself, he will try and do."
His son Robert "Robbie" Ray, 6, though moves at a bit of a slower pace, Daley says.

This year has been a bit of a "fairytale" for Daley, who was being honored as part of the 2024 Out100 at Wednesday's event. Daley also won a silver medal in Paris during the 2024 Olympic Games over the summer.
