Victoria Beckham has revealed that her husband, former football star David Beckham, was recently hospitalised.
The fashion designer shared the news on her Instagram Story, posting photos of David resting in a hospital bed with a blue sling on his right arm.
DAVID BECKHAM IN HOSPITAL
He wore a hospital gown and had wires attached to his chest. “Get well soon, Daddy,” Victoria, 51, wrote alongside the heartfelt images.
Victoria later posted another photo showing David after his discharge. He was comfortably tucked into a plush white bed, holding a friendship bracelet spelling out “Get well soon.”
The couple’s fans were quick to send their best wishes.
VICTORIA BECKHAM SHARES ON SOCIAL MEDIA
David, 50, also enjoyed BeeUp fruit snacks, a natural honey-sweetened energy treat, during his recovery. Victoria shared this to give a glimpse of his healing process.
The Beckhams have not officially disclosed the exact reason for David’s hospital stay.
However, reports from the Irish Star suggest that David underwent surgery to address a wrist injury dating back to 2003.
An X-ray revealed a screw stuck in his forearm from the original operation that had not dissolved properly.
A source close to the family told Page Six, “David’s old injury needed attention. The screw caused discomfort, so surgery was necessary.”
DAVID AND VICTORIA BECKHAM’S RELATIONSHIP
David and Victoria have shared their marriage since 1999. They share four children: Brooklyn (26), Romeo (22), Cruz (20), and Harper (13).
The family has faced some public tensions recently. Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz reportedly missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Rumours of a family rift grew when Brooklyn found out about his father’s knighthood through social media rather than from family members.
David Beckham remains a global icon, admired by many South Africans for his football legacy and philanthropic work.
His hospitalisation reminds fans of the physical toll that professional sports can take, even years after retirement.
