The former Manchester United footballer has lived with his wife and former Spice Girl, Victoria, in west Oxfordshire for several years.

Sharing a mansion in the Cotswolds, the couple have embraced the countryside life with Sir David keeping animals such as chickens.

Yet the Daily Mail have been reporting for months that the family have been “torn apart” due to problems with their son, Brooklyn.

He and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have allegedly fallen out with the rest of the clan, according to national reports, and did not attend Sir David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.

Despite this apparent ongoing drama, Hello magazine has reported that Sir David has shared an “emotional message”.

This was following the Lionesses’ Euros victory over Spain on Sunday (July 27), which saw the team triumph on penalties after a 1-1 draw. 

Sir David showed his admiration for the squad with several photos shared on his Instagram story before he added: “Well done, Lionesses!”

The former England footballer was knighted by King Charles III in June, shortly after his 50th birthday.

Following her husband’s knighthood last month, Lady Beckham said: “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir David Beckham.

“What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.

“Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.

“The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us every day.

“But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much.”
