David Beckham turned heads in an eye-catching pink jumper as he touched down in Paris to support his wife Victoria ahead of her much-anticipated Fashion Week show.
The former football star, 50, was seen stepping out of their luxury hotel in a relaxed look, pairing the vibrant knit with loose black trousers and classic white leather trainers. Fans flocked to greet him outside, with David happily signing autographs before heading to his next engagement.
The Beckhams’ arrival in the French capital comes as Victoria, 51, prepares to unveil her latest runway collection on Friday. The show is expected to draw an A-list crowd, alongside major fashion houses such as Chanel, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton.
But while David looked every inch the stylish supporter, he recently admitted to Daily Mail and other outlets that being away from his loved ones always takes a toll. “I’m very close to my family, so over the years they’ve got used to me travelling. But of course I miss them, and yes, even my dogs too, because they’re part of the family.”
The confession comes against the backdrop of ongoing tension with his eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, 30. The young couple, who did not attend David’s 50th birthday or Victoria’s vow renewal earlier this year, have become increasingly distant. In fact, Brooklyn skipped Romeo’s recent 23rd birthday celebrations, deepening speculation of estrangement.
David, who splits his time between London and Miami, reflected on how travel has shaped both his career and life after football. “My first trip with Manchester United was to South Africa when I was 17 years old, and since then I’ve travelled so much with football. After retiring, I’ve been lucky enough to explore cities and cultures in a different way. That’s one of my favourite parts of what I do now.”
Despite the glamorous Paris backdrop, the family divide looms large, with David openly acknowledging just how much those absences weigh on him.
