David Beckham was left emotional as his son Romeo gave a touching speech at his 50th birthday party in Miami on Tuesday.

The former footballer kicked off his celebrations very early with a black-tie event held a whole month ahead of his actual birthday on May 2.

He hired out his and wife Victoria’s favourite restaurant in the city, Cipriani, to hold a very lavish soiree for their A-list friends.

While the likes of Eva Longoria, Lionel Messi and Tom Brady were in attendance, David was also joined by his youngest children – Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.

His eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were notably absent due to working commitments in Los Angeles.

Photographs shared to social media gave a candid insight into the festivities, with Romeo giving a sweet speech to honour his beloved father.

One picture showed Romeo – suited and booted in a black tuxedo – standing up with a microphone and reading his speech from a notecard.

While it isn’t known what he said, David was visibly overcome with emotion upon listening to his words as he flashed a warm smile at Romeo.

Victoria, 50, also reached across to put her hand on David’s knee while she gazed lovingly up at Romeo during the speech.

Another snap saw Romeo putting on a very loved-up display with his girlfriend Kim Turnbull as they sat alongside each other at the meal.

The London based DJ, 24, looked effortlessly glamorous in a green maxi dress as she cuddled up to Romeo, who placed his hand on her knee.

Victoria was seen laughing beside them and looking in the other direction, seemingly gazing up at David.

Cruz also cut a suave figure in a black tuxedo on the night as he attended with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, who have been dating since October.

Victoria stunned in a white satin gown while Harper was every inch her mother’s mini-me in a similar forest green dress.

Victoria also shared a photograph of herself smiling alongside her bestie, American actress Eva, 50, who looked gorgeous in a black satin dress.

In a caption, she revealed they were both wearing outfits designed by her very own brand as she gave an insight into the glitzy night.

David posed for a beaming snap alongside longtime pals Gabe Turner, David Gardner and Ben Winston and penned on Instagram: ‘Friends for life.’

David became best friends with Gardner while on Manchester United’s youth team as teenagers, and he gushed of their bond: ‘Love ya Mate. 35 years between us.’

David was also joined by a host of fellow sporting legends, including players from his Inter Miami team – Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and footballing icon, Lionel.

Hollywood stars Justin Theroux and Fisher Stevens were also in attendance, as well as Grammy winner Marc Anthony.

David’s birthday party got underway weeks before his actual birthday because of Inter Miami’s busy schedule.

According to The Sun, David is in the middle of planning other events back in London with his friends and family, including an intimate dinner.

A source told the publication: ‘This party took place so early because of the Inter Miami schedule.

‘They played the night before and a lot of people flew in to watch that too, including Jack Whitehall.

‘They hired out Cipriani, which is an old favourite of the Beckhams. There was a free bar, and they all partied late into the night.

‘David is planning other events and will be turning 50 in style.

‘He will do a big dinner for his family and friends closer to his birthday and then will spend the day itself doing something with just Victoria, their parents and the kids.’
