David Beckham's recent shirtless photoshoot has generated considerable attention across social media platforms. The 48-year-old former football star showcased his sculpted physique and intricate tattoos, donning only black BOSS boxers. His post, cryptically captioned '9:30PM GMT tomorrow...', has left fans speculating about an upcoming announcement.
Fans flooded the comments section with enthusiastic reactions. One remarked, 'This is absolutely the greatest moment of my day,' while another quipped, 'Mother of love. What an absolute sort.' A third user humorously noted, 'It feels like someone just turned the thermostat up to 'inferno mode,' and a fourth added, 'Well that's just what I need to see.' A fifth exclaimed, 'I just spat my tea out!!!'
Victoria Beckham, his wife, contributed to the online praise with a simple comment: 'My boss,' accompanied by a heart and a wink emoji.
As 2024 ended, Beckham was notably absent from the year-end honours list, which included a knighthood for former England manager Gareth Southgate. This comes over seven years after leaked emails revealed Beckham's frustration with the honours committee, where he referred to them as 'unappreciative c***s' and expressed indifference towards being knighted.
Despite holding an OBE, Beckham claimed that some of the leaked emails were manipulated. However, the controversy seems to have impacted his chances of receiving a knighthood.
In a reflective Instagram post recapping 2024, Beckham did not mention his disappointment. The post featured nostalgic images of him with Victoria and their children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, along with a poignant photo of him with former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, who passed away from cancer in 2024. The caption read: 'Happy New Year from myself, my wife and my amazing kids... Thank you for [an] unforgettable year and I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2025. Love David x.'
Currently, Beckham is focused on his role as co-owner of Inter Miami in Florida. In 2024, his team, featuring Lionel Messi, clinched the Supporters' Shield for the best regular season record in MLS, adding to Beckham's celebrations.
Additionally, it was revealed that Victoria earned £1 million from music royalties in 2024, despite not performing for over a decade. The earnings stemmed from her time with the Spice Girls and her solo career. This income has reportedly helped offset losses in her fashion and beauty business, Victoria Beckham Holdings.
Documents from Companies House indicate that her firm Moody Productions, established in 1997 to manage her music earnings, now holds £2.4 million.
Victoria's musical legacy includes three studio albums with the Spice Girls and a self-titled solo album released in 2001. Currently, she has 19,900 monthly listeners on Spotify, a stark contrast to bandmate Melanie C's 659,000 listeners.
