David Beckham gets suited and booted for swanky black-tie soiree as he kicks off his early birthday celebrations with wife Victoria and their youngest children in Miami – ahead of turning 50

David Beckham got suited and booted with his glamorous wife Victoria as he kicked started his early birthday celebrations in Miami on Monday.

The former footballer, who turns 50 on May 2, was joined by his youngest children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13 – with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, notably absent.

Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, looked smitten as they packed on the PDA, while Romeo cheekily placed his hand on his DJ girlfriend Kim Turnbull’s, 25, bottom.

David and Victoria’s youngest Harper cut a glamorous figure with her platinum blonde locks as she stole the show in a jaw-dropping satin black dress.

The Beckham clan looked every inch the happy family as they got together to celebrate in their favourite city.

David proved he’s still got it in a dapper velour tux while his wife Victoria, who turned 50 last year, showcased her ageless beauty in a thin-strapped white gown.

Victoria wrote: ‘What a way to begin the first of many birthday celebrations for @davidbeckham, surrounded by friends and family x Kisses from Miami!’

David was joined by a slew of his closest friends and several famous faces for the early birthday bash.

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

Another photo saw him embracing Gardner, who he first became friends with while on Manchester United’s youth team as teenagers, sweetly captioned: ‘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 Messi.

While he poked fun at his diminutive looking stature as he posed next to American football star Tom Brady and basketball star Shaquille O’Neal, who towered over him with their respective 6ft4 and 7ft1 heights.

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

It’s no doubt the Beckham’s – who are known for pulling out all the stops for birthdays – will be longing out David’s celebrations for his big 5-0.
