David Beckham ‘isn’t worried’ about upcoming milestone as he makes ‘painful’ family admission
The former footballer isn't 'worried' about his upcoming milestone but did admit what will be 'painful' when it comes to his family life
David Beckham has said he isn’t ‘worried’ about his upcoming milestone but did admit what will be ‘painful’ when it comes to his family life.
The former England and Manchester United player will reach the milestone age of 50 in May and has said that heading into his fifth decade “doesn’t bother me one bit”, as he outlined how he keeps in shape.
David was asked by Men’s Health UK, as he makes the cover of the magazine, how he feels about reaching 50 to which he said: “Doesn’t bother me one bit. People are asking me about it gently, like it should be a big issue.
“It’s not something that I’m worried about, as long as I’m fit and healthy and my family are healthy, that’s all I care about. I’m really happy. I’ve got the business and an amazing family. My kids are all working hard, and they’ve all got passions, and that’s what’s important to me.”
As fans are well aware, the former footballer married Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham in 1999 and the pair have gone on to become parents to three sons – Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – and youngest child, daughter, Harper.
He was talking about his four children when David said that it will be “painful” when all of them have left home. “We’ve gone from having four in the house to one (Harper),” he said.
“What I would give to have that back and be able to walk in, moaning to them about it (wet towels on bedroom floors). That said, my boys are pretty good. They’ll always ask me to the pub when they go with their mates.”
He also said that Victoria has started joining him working out with his trainer Bobby Rich after he tried to get her involved “for years”. David said they both “give each other plenty of grief”, and Victoria is “not great at taking a rest” or listening to Bobby.
