The former footballer, 49, and his wife Victoria, 50, were nominated in a whopping five categories for the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham: What Makes David Run.

At The Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on Saturday, the docuseries triumphed in the Documentary or Nonfiction Series category.

The award was accepted by producer Fisher Stevens – who was sure to call the footballer during the celebration to let him know of the success.

‘Alright David,’ the actor and producer shouted as he broke the news.

‘Unbelievable,’ David replied as the camera panned to show on screen, to which Fisher said: ‘We miss you brother, we miss you.’

David shared his disappointment at not being present, as he promised he and Fisher would celebrate in a few weeks.

‘Love to the family, congrats,’ Fisher added, before the footballer and producer said goodbye.

The series gave an unprecedented look at David’s career journey and a glimpse at the start of their romance and marriage.

The four-part series was nominated for Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series at the 2024 Emmy ceremony, going up alongside Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV, STAX: Soulsville U.S.A. Telemarketers and The Jinx – Part Two.

It was also nominated for Outstanding Cinematography For A Nonfiction Program, Outstanding Directing For A Documentary/Nonfiction Program, Outstanding Picture Editing and Outstanding Music Composition.

In reaction David told HELLO!: ‘It’s a real honor for me and the whole creative team for BECKHAM to be recognized by the TV Academy.

‘Making this series was such a personal journey, a love letter to football and my family. It has been overwhelming for me and Victoria that we have had such a warm and positive response to the series.

‘I’m so grateful to the incredible team led by Fisher Stevens and also to all those people from my life and career who took part and who have played such an important role in my story.’

It was revealed last month that Victoria is now preparing to film a tell-all documentary about her fashion brand after landing a huge deal with Netflix.

The Spice Girl, 50, will share an insight into her working life after the success of husband David’s docuseries BECKHAM with the streamer.

The beloved mother will delve deep into her fashion brand in the documentary and follow her journey as she prepares for Paris Fashion Week next year.

Her new documentary will offer a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at her journey from becoming a Spice Girl to a creative director of her successful fashion and beauty brand.

The couple married in 1999 and share four children together – Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.

Victoria launched her fashion brand in 2008 and lately launched a collection with the high-street fashion brand Mango.
