David Beckham kicked off the New Year with a father-daughter bonding moment while attending a basketball game with his youngest son, Harper, at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Thursday.
The soccer ace, 49, posed with his 13-year-old daughter for a sweet photo as they sat courtside to watch the Miami Heat take on the Indiana Pacers, and the latter soon emerged victorious.
Cutting a great figure, David kept his look simple in a plain white t-shirt which he teamed with black jeans and pale pink Adidas sneakers.
While Harper also sported a casual white t-shirt for the sporting event and accessorized her look with a chic pink bag.
Former England player David, who is now co-owner of Inter Miami football club, looked in high spirits as he was greeted with cheers as he entered the pitch, before shaking hands with others attending the game.
It turned out to be a star-studded event, as British rapper Central Cee was also present.
David Beckham kicked off the New Year with a father-daughter bonding moment while attending a basketball game with his youngest son, Harper, at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Thursday.
Cutting a great figure, David kept his look simple in a plain white t-shirt which he teamed with black jeans and pale pink Adidas sneakers.
The tattooed hitmaker, 26, looked in high spirits as he shot some hoops after the match.
David’s appearance comes just days after he joyfully celebrated the New Year with his loved ones as they lived it up in Miami after jetting off for a festive getaway.
David, who has once again been snubbed for a knighthood in the New Year’s honors list, made light of the snub when he took to Instagram in the early hours of Wednesday morning to share a selection of sweet family photos.
Among the images was a sweet photo of the former soccer player approaching Victoria, 50, as well as memories of the family at his Inter Miami CF games, posing with the Emmy he won for his eponymous Netflix documentary series and a shirtless photo.
David captioned the post: “Happy New Year from me, my wife and my amazing kids… Thank you for an unforgettable year and I want to wish you all a happy and healthy 2025 Love, David x.”
Victoria also took to social media to share a post and uploaded a video dancing with David to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ Islands in the Stream.
She captioned the clip: “My number one dance partner, my everything I love you so much X.”
His youngest son, Cruz, 19, was seen in 2025 with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, while the couple watched the fireworks.
David donned a simple white t-shirt while watching Thursday’s game.
Former England player David, who is now co-owner of Inter Miami football club, looked in high spirits as he was greeted with cheers as he walked onto the pitch.
He was accompanied by security as he crossed the court.
The soccer star was then seen shaking hands with other attendees at the game.
During the match, David looked serious as he focused on the players.
Before smiling after the game.
It turned out to be a star-studded event, as British rapper Central Cee was also present.
The tattooed hitmaker, 26, looked in high spirits as he shot some hoops after the match.
He wrote in Portuguese: ‘Feliz ano novo’, which means happy new year in English.
Cruz’s older brother Romeo, 25, rang in the new year with his new girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 25, as they enjoyed a luxury meal overlooking the London Eye before the city’s incredible fireworks show.
The family celebrations came after David was excluded from the New Year Honors list despite his friendships with the royal family, while his former Three Lions teammate Gareth Southgate received the top gong .
Last month, former England captain David was seen rubbing shoulders with King Charles and Queen Camilla at a banquet to mark the state visit of Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
He was said to have been “humbled” by her invitation and, along with Victoria, “very happy” to be there.
David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy at Chingford, received his OBE from the late Queen in 2003, and for a time it looked like a knighthood might be within his reach.
While his appointment as an ambassador for HM’s charity the King’s Foundation was seen as an encouraging sign earlier this year, David’s complicated tax affairs have been seen as a potential barrier.
David’s appearance comes just days after he joyfully celebrated the New Year with his loved ones and kissed his wife Victoria while living it up in Miami after jetting off for a festive getaway.
Victoria also took to social media to share a post, uploading a video dancing with David on Dolly Parton’s Islands and Kenny Rogers on the Stream.
Among David’s photo gallery was a shirtless snapshot from his vacation.
David also shared a snap taken on the day of the Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show with his sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper.
David posted a selfie that Harper had taken of them both.
There was a photo of the family at one of David’s soccer games at Inter Miami FC.
And in February 2017, a series of emails were leaked showing that the former footballer appeared to have unleashed a barrage of expletives criticizing the honors committee that had once again left him off the list to receive the coveted gong.
There was also an alleged leaked email in 2013, when, bitter at not being knighted, he complained about Katherine Jenkins, fuming with ‘Katherine Jenkins OBE why?’ Singing at rugby and going to see the troops. Besides taking coke. Damn joke.’
He was left out of the list once again, with former England manager Gareth receiving the honor following the Three Lions’ progress to the Euro final in Germany this summer, having also finished runners-up at Euro 2020.
A source told MailOnline: “It’s a big hurrah for Gareth and David is thrilled for him.” “David knew it wouldn’t be his time and that’s fine with him, but you never know what will happen in the future.”
