About this listen
In the latest stretch of David Beckham’s high-profile life, every headline seems to find the Beckham family in a swirl of public adoration, business expansion, and the sort of family drama that keeps tabloids humming. Only a few days ago, Hello! Magazine splashed images of David and Victoria Beckham radiating “relationship goals” during their family yacht holiday off the Côte d’Azur, the epitome of jet-set relaxation and togetherness. Yet, eagle-eyed fans and online gossipers noted the glaring absence of eldest son Brooklyn, stoking further speculation around a family rift that’s dominated social media. According to PEOPLE, sources confirm ‘tensions’ between David and Victoria and Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, who both skipped David’s star-studded 50th birthday in May despite invitations. Us Weekly just reported the Beckhams notably missed Brooklyn and Nicola’s recent vow renewal, an absence matched by silence on their social channels.
On the business front, David Beckham was announced as a global partner and ambassador for F45 Training, a multibillion-dollar fitness franchise. Health Club Management revealed Beckham is now actively championing the brand worldwide, seeing this new venture as a natural next step following a lifelong commitment to fitness since his football days. He’s lending not just his name, but his personal story and vision to F45’s message of inclusive, community-driven health, hoping to bring the brand to yet broader audiences. And it seems his commercial clout remains potent: Safilo Group’s financial report credited the “David Beckham” eyewear brand with delivering double-digit sales growth in Europe for the first half of 2025.
The intersections of celebrity and sport also continue to define Beckham’s image. Marca spotlighted the warm, teasing exchange between Beckham and NFL legend Tom Brady, as Beckham posted a classy birthday message to Brady on Instagram, fueling mutual fan admiration for two athlete-moguls at the frontier of football and branding. Their playful banter highlighted the camaraderie among sports icons intent on shaping the future of the industry far beyond the pitch.
On Amazon Prime, Beckham makes a brief but notable appearance in the “Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues” docuseries, when Tom Brady famously chastised Birmingham City FC staff for not giving Beckham a club gift bag—an incident gone viral for Brady’s passionate defense and further proof of Beckham’s status as a soccer statesman transcending teams and borders.
Meanwhile on Instagram, Beckham’s latest posts, including his presence at Inter Miami CF’s FIFA Club World Cup match, reaffirm his growing legacy as a power player in global soccer. And yet, amidst empire-building, it’s the family intrigue—Romeo’s cryptic new “C’est La Vie” tattoo and Brooklyn and Nicola’s reported unfollowings—that keeps the Beckhams headline material, hinting that for all his empires and partnerships, David Beckham remains, at heart, a leading man in an ongoing family saga as captivating as his career.
