David Beckham’s Instagram picture shows the former soccer star giving Harper a smooch as they ice skate outside in front of a festive Christmas tree

David Beckham got the internet talking on Monday when he posted a picture of himself kissing his 7-year-old daughter Harper Seven on the lips.

The Instagram photo shows the former soccer star giving his youngest child a smooch as they ice skate outside in front of a festive Christmas tree. Beckham was bundled up in a brown cap and orange scarf, while Harper kept warm in fuzzy earmuffs and a coat.

“Christmas is coming. Let’s go skate,” Beckham captioned the father-daughter snapshot, tacking on a Santa Claus emoji and red heart emoji. On his Instagram Story, he shared a video in which Harper skated off after he said, “Go!”

Instagram users were divided on the peck. In criticism, one individual wrote, “How can you kiss this little girl on her lips,” while another said, “This is not right!” and a third opined, “Not on lips. Cheeks is ok.”

But Beckham — who is dad to Harper plus sons Cruz David, 13, Romeo James, 16, and Brooklyn Joseph, 19, with wife Victoria Beckham — got support from fellow famous dads such as Ryan Reynolds, who liked the post.

“Dad and daughter. So sweet!” Tom Brady commented. (The football player stirred up debate in February when he kissed his son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, then 10, on the lips in the documentary Tom vs. Time.)

Many fans offered their support, as well. “He’s her dad and she’s his daughter,” one person wrote. “Why do people have to look too far into things? Not everything has a sinister motive! She’s a little girl clearly comfortable, happy and having a lovely time with her dad. Innocent and lovely.”

“This is a gorgeous photo showing the bond every girl should have with their daddy,” another user said. “Well done on being such a good dad.”

David Beckham is opening up about the “tiring” ways his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects his family.

In an upcoming Netflix documentary chronicling the soccer star’s career, the Guardian reported that Beckham, 47, said he stays up hours after his family sleeps to clean detailed parts of their home.

“The fact that when everyone’s in bed, I then go around, clean the candles, turn the lights on to the right setting, make sure everywhere is tidy. I hate coming down in the morning and there’s cups and plates and, you know, bowls,” Beckham said, per the outlet.

Beckham revealed that his “pet hate” is lingering candle wax. “I clip the candle wax, I clean the glass, that’s my pet hate, the smoke around the inside of a candle,” he shared. “I know, it’s weird.”

According to the Guardian, Beckham pondered whether or not his wife Victoria appreciates the results of his disorder.

“I clean it so well, I’m not sure it’s actually appreciated so much by my wife, in all honesty,” Beckham said as the Netflix cameras rolled.

The outlet reported that Victoria, 49, told the production crew that her husband is “appreciated” and “just so perfect” after the athlete shared his concern.

The pair — who have been married since 1999 — are parents to sons Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 17, and 11-year-old daughter Harper.

Beckham also said he “feels compelled” to do the tedious chores, despite how “tiring” they can be for him.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to the International OCD Foundation, occurs “when a person gets caught in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions” that can trigger intrusive thoughts or actions.

Beckham confirmed his upcoming documentary on Netflix in an Instagram post last summer.

“I’m excited to confirm that I am partnering with @Netflix on a documentary series about my life and career,” he wrote. “The series will feature unseen archive, untold stories as well as interviews with the people who have been a part of my journey.”

The fall out between Victoria Beckham and her daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz over the bride’s wedding dress was played out very publicly indeed.

But privately, it can now be revealed, the women put their differences aside and made up over £2-per-pop vodka cocktails and Sunday afternoons playing Ms Peltz’s favourite memory game named Fish Bowl.

Sources say are now closer than ever thanks to spending Sunday afternoons giggling together over the 5.5 per cent proof tipple which contains 196 calories per serving.

Speaking for the first time about his mum and wife’s new close relationship, Brooklyn, 24, says they bonded over drinking cans of Vodka Snapper which is a mix of the spirit and fruit flavoured iced tea.

‘We love Sunday roasts. Me and my dad share a bottle of wine. My mum and Nicola share vodka Snapple,’ he revealed.

Victoria Beckham wishes Nicole Peltz a happy birthday with gushing post

‘We don’t really watch TV – we just talk and just have fun. It’s just about being in the moment, having a drink, eating food and enjoying each other’s company.

‘We sometimes play games. My wife introduced my family to this game called Fish Bowl which we love to play at gatherings.

‘My mum and dad really like it, we played it a couple of weeks ago when we were together.’

Fish Bowl – which combines charades, password and taboo – features two teams who write words on a piece of a paper and place them in a fish bowl. Then they take turns to guess what has been written down.

Brooklyn is said to be ‘thrilled and relieved’ that his beloved mother Mrs Beckham, who turns 50 in April and wife have buried the hatchet.

One source says that ‘time was a great healer’ but now the two women are ‘super close.’

Speaking of how they are now all friends, Brooklyn adds in an interview with Grazia magazine: ‘Me and my family are really close, and my wife and her family are really close.

‘Mine are in between London and Miami, which is really good. Thank God for the football team, so I get to see them as much as I can. We travel over to London sometimes, they come out here [to LA] and we sometimes meet in Miami.’

Mrs Beckham and Ms Peltz, 29, fell out after the actress assumed that her mother-in-law-to-be would be designing her wedding dress but she did not have the time to do so.

Instead, the bride wore Valentino and later Nicola later gave an interview insisting that ditching Victoria’s offer was not designed to be a slight against her new mother-in-law.

‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,’ she said.

David and Victoria Beckham have swapped their £5million yacht for an incredible £16million superyacht.

And on Thursday, the famous family were seen taking advantage of the Easter holidays to spend time on their lavish new purchase.

David and Victoria, aged 48 and 49 respectively, were seen zipping across the waters in Miami on a charterboat headed to their new vessel.

Joining the famous pair were some of their beloved family – including sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 19, and their youngest child, daughter Harper, 12.

The footballer, who also shares Romeo, 21, with the former Spice Girls star, opted for a trendy bucket hat and tee while Victoria pulled a baseball cap low on her face while their kids all opted for summer garb.

Victoria kept her trademark stony pout in place as the couple headed across the water, while shielding her eyes with sunglasses.

With David’s arm lovingly draped around the star, they engaged with their kids, who excitedly chatted while heading to their parents’ latest lavish purchase.

The couple have been spending time on their impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, and is a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot, £5million yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022.

Larger and more imposing than its predecessor – thought to be a ’90 Argo, purchased from yacht manufacturer Riva – the new boat boasts three sprawling decks and masses of space to unwind.

The vessel is believed to be another Riva design, the 130 Bellissima, complete with its own 20 square-metre garage, upper deck jacuzzi and lower deck swim platform.

It is unknown if the vessel is owned or chartered, however, both have been personalised with the single word Seven – a reference to Beckham’s Manchester United and England squad number, and daughter Harper’s middle name – emblazoned across the hull.

Taking advantage of its extra space, Beckham and his fashion designer wife were seen sunbathing as spring temperatures across the Gulf Coast continued to soar.

The football legend was said to have ‘treated himself’ to his original £5million vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish – who often holiday at sea.

Prior to the boat trip, Brooklyn was seen spinning around the streets in a light blue electric Jaguar XK140

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything.

‘It’s not an oligarch-style super-yacht, but it’s still pretty plush by anyone’s standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat – and loves life on the water.

‘There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.’

Beckham recently admitted that he didn’t realise how ‘strong’ Victoria was until they exchanged vows in 1999.

Speaking on This Life of Mine with James Corden, David revealed that he ‘really fancied’ her at the time, even though he ‘didn’t know’ who she really was until their relationship progressed.

He said: ‘I really just fancied her. I did. I just fancied her.

‘I didn’t know what she was like as a person. I just actually fancied her like most people did at that time, and I didn’t know who I was marrying [or] who I was going to be with for the rest of my life.

‘I didn’t realise what a strong woman she was, and that is what really attracted me to her more than anything.’

Victoria Beckham flashed her teeth in a rare smile while celebrating Easter with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz on Saturday – after putting their reported feud to bed. 

Posh, 49, donned matching bunny ears with the heiress, 29, as they danced to the Spice Girls‘ hit Say You’ll Be There onboard a swanky yacht.

Victoria, who is rarely seen showing her pearly whites, couldn’t help but smile before quickly covering her mouth with her hands.

The designer showcased her trim physique in a black T-shirt and denim shorts while shielding herself from the sun with shades and a baseball cap.

Meanwhile Nicola caught the eye in a reavling cut-out halterneck top which she teamed with trousers while boogying to the 90s song.

Victoria previously told Glamour about her stony appearance:  ‘I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion’.

It comes after Nicola told how ‘close’ she is to her in-laws after tensions reportedly rose over the actress’ wedding dress for her £3million Palm Beach ceremony in 2022.

Nicole and Brooklyn were hardly seen with the Beckham family in the months following, however they have since continually quashed any speculation of a row.

In a new interview with Byrdie magazine, Nicola opened up about the importance of family, as she gushed over her ‘strong support system’.

She told the publication: ‘Family is everything to me, and I mean that with my whole heart.

‘I’m so close to mine and Brooklyn’s family and I think there’s no better feeling than knowing you have a strong support system.

‘It’s such a blessing, and I never take it for granted. I go to Florida any chance I get, and we stay at my parents’ house.’

‘It honestly makes me so happy to wake up and have my siblings around. It’s really hard to get us all in the same place because there are so many of us. When we’re all together, it’s so fun.’

Nicola went on to say she felt ‘inspired’ by David and Victoria’s 24-year marriage, as well as her parents’ own 40-year union.

She said: ‘Anyone who has been married for a long time, it’s such a beautiful thing,’ she says.

‘My parents have been together for maybe 40 years? And David and Victoria have been together since Brooklyn was a baby, which is like 25 years. My parents, their love inspires me every day. It sounds cheesy, but that’s how I feel.’ ‘

‘He’s [David Beckham] so amazing with Victoria, and Brooklyn is so amazing to me,’ she says. ‘I’m so thankful they raised such an incredible guy I got to marry.’

Lionel Messi watched from the sideline as his Inter Miami side split points with New York City FC on Saturday night.

Club co-owner David Beckham and his family were also in attendance as the team’s winless streak now extends to two games.

The game was tied at 1-1 at the intermission as both teams both struggled to find their rhythm offensively. At the end of 90 minutes and change, neither side secured a clincher to leave Chase Stadium with three points.

Luis Suarez opened the scoring in the 15th minute with his fifth goal of the season. Julian Gressel provided the assist with a cross from a freekick to find the Uruguayan for the header past Matt Freese.

NYCFC would equalize in the 34th with Alonso Martinez’s right-footed strike slotting past Drake Callender. The goal marked Martinez’s first in MLS in his first start for NYCFC.

NYCFC was also in a five-way tie for the worst-scoring team in MLS with only four goals.

On the other hand, Inter Miami entered Saturday’s meeting with a 3-1-2 record. The Herons have been without Messi for six games now with the Argentine tending to a right hamstring injury.

Miami looked to bounce back after suffering their first scoreless loss on the receiving end of a 4-0 beating in the hands of the New York Red Bulls.

The stalemate saw Inter Miami control 56.1 percent of the possession.

The hosts also outshot their guests, 16-10. However, only six of Inter Miami’s attempts found the frame. Meanwhile, NYCFC hit the target three times.

Despite failing to find the net again, the men in pink showed their teeth several times, forcing Freese to five saves.

Suarez’s goal places him in a second-place tie with LA Galaxy’s Dejan Joveljic for the top scorers this season. The Red Bulls’ Lewis Morgan leads the race with six.

Inter Miami will remain at home for their next match when they host Monterey in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on April 3. Meanwhile, NYCFC will host Eastern Conference competitor Atlanta United on the sixth.

The Herons sit second in the East behind FC Cincinnati with 11 points. On the other hand, NYCFC is in 14th place with four points.

The two teams will meet again on September 21 when Inter Miami heads to the Big Apple. The Herons hope to have Messi before then as they look for their first franchise MLS title after his blockbuster signing last year.

Inter Miami owner David Beckham says he knocked something off his bucket list when he met tennis legend Andre Agassi in south Florida this week.

Beckham posted a photo of him standing next to the 53-year-old American on a tennis court .

‘Bucket list moment,’ Beckham said in the caption. ‘As a kid I had the racket, the over sized shorts, the walk & the hair and now I got to meet the man.

‘WOW what a morning & I got to see that backhand @agassi Thank you’.

Beckham appeared to be introduced to Agassi by his friend, Miami restaurant owner and tennis enthusiast David Grutman, who shared a picture of the two together on Instagram with the caption: ‘Goat talk!’.

Tomorrow is the men’s singles final between world No. 3 player Jannik Sinner and world No. 12 player Gregor Dmitrov.

Agassi previously coached Dmitrov from 2018-2020.

As for Beckham, his Inter Miami side play a home match this evening against New York City FC.

The Herons have played six matches so far having won two, lost two, and drawn one in their last five games.

They’ll look to rebound after their most recent match – an embarrassing 4-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls, where former Miami player Lewis Morgan bagged a hat trick.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk has been postponed.

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter has left a brutal comment on Tyson Fury’s Instagram post after their fight was postponed.

The pair were set to fight to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 17 February.

However, it was confirmed on Friday evening that the fight had been postponed due to Fury suffering a cut during a sparring session.

A Queensberry Promotions spokesperson said: “Whilst this is still breaking news it is clearly a massive disappointment, after the work that has been done by so many people to finally deliver this historic event to the world.

“Once the doctors have appraised Tyson’s eye, we will have a better idea of the period of recovery needed. Once known we will work diligently with all the stake-holders and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to reschedule this fight as soon as possible and will of course keep everyone updated with developments.”

On the back of the news, Usyk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk took on social media to aim a dig at Fury.

Commenting on the Brit’s Instagram post, Krassyuk wrote: “Wish you soonest recovery. God sent you a sign. Think of retirement, brother.”

Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas also showed his displeasure towards Fury, telling Ring Magazine: “Fury is a f***ing coward who will do anything not to face Usyk, and he asked his b**ch to hit him with a frying pan in his brow. You can quote me word for word for that.”

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk leaving a comment on Tyson Fury’s Instagram post after the fight was postponed…

Former boxer David Haye said: “Fury suffers a cut a couple of weeks before the fight. I know that pain all so well – in 2013 when I was scheduled to fight Tyson Fury, I suffered a cut. And oh did I not hear the end of it from him.

“I actually remember at the time thinking, ‘I hope one day before one of his big fights he has to suffer this, he’s been that much of a d**k about it,’ and here we are. But I don’t feel that good about it at all.”

On the back of the postponement, it has been claimed that team Usyk are now working on a potential fight with Filip Hrgovic, who is currently the mandatory IBF challenger.

The Croatian holds an impressive 17 unbeaten record having recently beat Mark de Mori last year.

Tyson Fury’s much-awaited bout against Oleksandr Usyk has been postponed.

A former world champion has previously predicted Tyson Fury’s fight against Oleksandr Usyk would not take place on 17 February.

Bill as one of the biggest fights in boxing history, fans were left bitterly disappointed when it was announced on Friday evening that Fury vs Usyk has been postponed.

The fight will be rescheduled after Fury suffered a cut above his eye during a sparring session.

Fury said: “I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye is healed

“Can’t help getting injured in sparring but what I can say was Usyk was in trouble. I am in fantastic shape. I will reschedule soon as I can. 2024 a massive year for team GK.”

Speaking last month, former world champion Chris Algieri predicted that the fight would not go ahead on the original date.

He said, via Boxing Insider: “I think the fight’s going to happen. I’m not so sure it’s going to happen in six weeks, because like Shawn says, Fury likes to be the captain of his own ship and he thinks the whole world revolves around whatever the hell he says and for a time it definitely did. I’m not sure it’s going to happen when it’s supposed to, but I do think it’s going to happen at some point.”

Algieri’s prediction came after another former title holder, Shaw Porter, claimed that Fury would be more interested in WWE than boxing.

He said: “What we know about Tyson Fury is he’s a showman. What we know about Tyson Fury is he likes things to be his way or no way.

“I don’t feel like this is the kind of energy he (Fury) wants to exert anymore in the boxing ring, which is why he went after Francis Ngannou…those are the kind of fights he’s looking for, things that are going to give him the money, and the recognition, and the nights that he won’t have to trade hard for. Don’t be surprised if something comes up with the WWE before this.”

On the back of the postponement, it has been reported that Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic could step in for Fury and fight Usyk on 17 February.

Fury has responded to the postponement.

Boxing fans came up with a ‘conspiracy theory’ after Tyson Fury’s latest Instagram post following the postponement of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury was forced to pull out of the fight, which was scheduled for February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after suffering a ‘freak cut’ in sparring.

Although a video has surfaced on social media showing the alleged moment the cut occurred, there is yet to be confirmation over when exactly it happened.

The big news, though, is that Fury will need time to recover – and Boxing News report that Usyk’s camp are now ‘exploring’ the possibility of fighting IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic on February 17 instead.

In a statement posted by Queensberry Promotions following news of the postponement, Fury said: “I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this fight for so long and being in such superb condition.

“I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed.”

He then added in a separate Instagram post: “Can’t help getting injured in sparring but what I can say was Usyk was in trouble I am in fantastic shape.

“I will reschedule as soon as I can. 2024 a massive year for team GK.”

In response, some fans on X (Twitter) theorised that the photo was in fact older – claiming that Fury had posed in the same blue underwear in sparring on a previous occasion.

One fan later debunked the theory by pointing out that the blue briefs in Fury’s Instagram post are in fact longer than in previous photos, and also a different shade of blue.

Fury has often worn underwear inspired by the Rocky Balboa movies in the past, with the blue briefs appearing to be from the Rocky III ‘Clubber’ range.

Two weeks out from the fight, Fury is showing he was indeed in good shape to take on Usyk in what would have been a unification bout for the heavyweight titles.

But his decision to pull out didn’t exactly impress Usyk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk, who replied on Instagram: “Wish you soonest recovery. God sent you a sign. Think of retirement, brother.”
