Gordon Ramsay, Tom Cruise and Eva Longoria were among David Beckham’s A-List pals who couldn’t stop giggling as they stumbled out of the football legend’s 50th birthday bash in the early hours of Sunday morning.
David marked his milestone birthday in style with a luxurious dinner at three Michelin-starred restaurant Core in London’s swanky district of Kensington.
And celebrity chef Gordon, 58, and wife Tana, 50, clearly had a whale of a time after the boozy dinner. Jumping into theur taxi, the couple clutched hands as they laughed, with a tuxedoed Gordon grinning at his elegant wife in a pale blue silk dress.
Eva Longoria, who is close friends with Victoria, couldn’t stop smiling either as she slid into her plush car with a black dinner jacket draped over her shoulders and partially hiding her gorgeous sky blue gown. The Desperate Housewives actress, 50, appeared to be very tired after the night out as her eyes drooped closed and was soon joined by husband José Bastón, 58, who looked very dapper in his three-piece suit.

After making a solo low-key arrival, lookers-on managed a glimpse of Hollywood legend Tom Cruise, 62, and his rumoured girlfriend Ana de Armas, 37, as they were quickly whisked away after the event. Despite appearing slightly tense upon arrival, the actor definitely seemed to have loosened up after the party as he was pictured looking relaxed while settling into the seat of his taxi.
Guy Ritchie, 56, and his wife Jacqui, 43, were also pictured heading back home, with a tin of raspberry-flavoured water within reach for the Hollywood director. Meanwhile, Gary Neville, 50, and his wife Emma Hadfield, 50, appeared sapped of energy as they jumped into a cab.

Victoria and David made a quiet exit from the glitzy star-studded back as they exited in a blacked-out van. The night may have been soured for the former England captain after his eldest son Brooklyn snubbed the evening – despite jetting to London with wife Nicola Peltz.
The photographer and chef, 26, has failed to address his dad’s birthday on social media and has not turned up to any of the parties – neither the family celebration in France on Friday, nor the huge party at the Beckhams’ £10million Cotswolds estate on Wednesday – that the family has held for David.

The rest of Victoria and David’s children – Romeo, Cruz and Harper – were all in attendance on Saturday evening.
David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it. Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it. Brooklyn actually informed his parents a while ago that he and his wife, Nicola, would not be attending but, of course, David and Victoria desperately hoped he would change his mind,” a source had told The Sun.

“It’s a dagger to the heart that he hasn’t attended a single one of David’s 50th celebrations – and hurts the whole family including the grandparents and siblings. Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly. They just hope things can be patched up soon. In the mean time, everyone around David are doing all they can to give him a magical evening to remember.”
Brooklyn’s wife Nicola is reportedly at the centre of the feud, which has seen him no longer speaking to the rest of his family. The couple are said to have been invited to all three of the parties, however “each time Brooklyn left his parents hanging”, according to the Mail on Sunday.
A close friend of the Beckhams reportedly told the publication: “It’s a terribly sad situation and it has been going on for a long time. They adore Brooklyn, their children are everything to them, but Brooklyn isn’t talking to them, he isn’t talking to the family and David and Victoria are heartbroken.

“It is now the end of the week and despite Brooklyn flying to London with Nicola with every intention of celebrating his dad’s 50th birthday with him, he hasn’t taken part in any of it.”
They added that Brooklyn had told his parents weeks ago that he would be attending, however David and Victoria now have “no idea what’s going on”.
While another friend of David’s added: “For all of this to happen on such a memorable and special birthday is just devastating.”
