Following his recent hospitalization, David Beckham got out and about when he attended Wimbledon with Maria Sharapova.
“Let the (Wimbledon) games begin 🎾🥳,” Sharapova, 38, wrote via Instagram on Monday, June 30, alongside a selfie of her and Beckham, 50.
The former professional soccer player’s outing comes only a few days after his wife, Victoria Beckham, shared a photo via Instagram Story of David lying in a hospital bed with his arm in a sling.
“Get well soon, daddy,” Victoria, 51, captioned the photo of David smiling at the camera while wearing a hospital band.
David Beckham’s youngest sons, Romeo and Cruz, aren’t allowing the family’s reported drama keep them from celebrating their father’s newfound royal title. “I’m so proud of you, Dad, I love you,” Cruz, 20, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 14. “Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it!” Romeo, 23, meanwhile, shared […]
Although Victoria did not specify the reason for David’s hospitalization, Us Weekly reported on Friday, June 27, that he underwent surgery to repair a broken wrist following an injury during an England game against South Africa in 2003.
David also made headlines earlier this month after he was awarded a knighthood by King Charles III, which he noted was “a truly humbling honor.”
“Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honor,” the athlete said in a statement in June, adding that he loved playing for Britain’s soccer team and giving back in the community. “I’m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I’m grateful to be recognized for work that gives me so much fulfillment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”
While David’s knighthood is exciting news for his family, it also comes amid reports that there is ongoing drama within the Beckham clan, with son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, reportedly distancing themselves from David and Victoria. (David and Victoria share kids Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.)
The rift between the family allegedly started from drama between Nicola, 30, and Victoria at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in 2022. Tensions continued to rise after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s 50th birthday party in May and seemingly ignored his recent knighthood.
Amid whispers of family drama, Victoria Beckham is seemingly in a good mood heading into the weekend. “Happy weekend x,” Beckham, 51, wrote via her Instagram Stories, sharing a selfie while her hairstylist touched up her tousled bob. Earlier this week, Victoria celebrated her husband David Beckham’s 50th birthday with a star-studded soirée in London. […]
Earlier this month, a source told Us that David and Victoria “went from being sad and devastated to now accepting it and realizing there is nothing they can do.”
“They are done speaking about it,” the insider noted. “They view it as the way it is now. The ball is in Brooklyn’s court if he wants to make up.”
