David Beckham makes ‘painful’ confession involving all four children in new life update
The former footballer turns 50 in May
David Beckham is opening up about life at 49, how he keeps in peak physical condition and how he is supported by his loving family.
While he’s embracing the journey to turning 50 this May, the thought of his children growing up and leaving home is proving to be a “painful” transition.
In his candid interview with Men’s Health UK, the former England captain shared insight into his fitness regime and his love for working out with his wife Victoria Beckham.
The couple split their time between their homes in Miami, London and the Cotswolds with their four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. But with three now having flown the nest, David admits the adjustment has been tough.
“We’re not quite there yet but it’s actually painful. We’ve gone from having four in the house to one,” he shared. “What I would give to have that back and be able to walk in, moaning to them about it [wet towels on bedroom floors]!”
Still, there’s a silver lining. Despite their busy lives, his sons make time for their dad. “My boys are pretty good. They’ll always ask me to the pub when they go with their mates.”
On why skiing and snowboarding bring “amazing” connections with his sons, David continued: “Me and my boys, we are the first up and we’re the last off the slope.
“It’s the best part, having those chats on the lifts or in the gondolas. You get into them. The kids can’t go on their phones, they’re just sat there and we’re all chatting – it’s amazing.”
