David Beckham crops a kiss on daughter Harper’s cheek as he watches Inter Miami sport with spouse Victoria in Fort Lauderdale

David Beckham planted a kiss on his daughter Harper’s cheek as they attended a football game between Inter Miami CF and Atlanta United FC in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Friday.

The retired footballer, 49, who co-owns Inter Miami, was also joined at the game by his wife Victoria, 50, and their son Cruz, 19. 

David put his arms around Harper as he gave her a kiss but the youngest Beckham child appeared to playfully grimace while watching the game with her family.

Victoria cut a casual figure for the outing as she sported a baby blue T-shirt and matching bracelets while chatting with a female pal.

Cruz also opted for a laid back look in a dark brown hoodie as he enjoyed the match alongside his father.

It comes after David was spotted strolling around his new $77million mega-mansion in Miami just days after purchasing the exclusive waterfront enclave. 

The football legend was all smiles as he inspected the impressive nine-bedroom property in Miami Beach, Florida, which he acquired with Victoria.

Earlier this month a local property source claimed that the Beckhams’ offer on the property had been accepted, and they plan to move in early next year

The Beckhams have had a base in Florida for years, and also spent about £18million on a full-floor five-bedroom penthouse in downtown Miami in 2020.

The couple already have a property portfolio which includes a £31million townhouse in London’s Holland Park and a £12million Cotswolds country pile.

Long-time celebrity columnist Jose Lambiet told the Mail earlier this month: ‘I don’t think people necessarily remember that David Beckham was a football player.

‘They now think of him as a society guy, and the ownership of the soccer team has made him a stalwart in South Florida.

‘Miami is a place where he and Victoria can be comfortable because people are used to famous faces here – there are hundreds of celebrities.’

It is understood that the whole Beckham family had already been to see the property before the latest visit by Beckham, with a source saying that ‘everyone loves it’.

They added: ‘Although it’s David who has the work connection in Miami, the impression from the estate agents is that Victoria has been pushing for the move.

‘What we hear is she wants to have a sort of salon there where she can gather interesting famous and wealthy people. It’s going to be a social scene but the idea is she can turbo-charge her fashion and make-up brands by juicing those links.

‘It seems she wants to be the Queen of Miami and to lean into all the celebrity links which come from the football club.’

Former England captain Beckham exercised an option in his contract with his former Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy to buy an expansion franchise in 2014.

He launched the team in Miami in 2018, before confirming it would be called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami, or Inter Miami CF. It made its MLS debut in 2020.

The former Manchester United midfielder finished his playing career in 2013 with 718 appearances, 127 goals and 214 assists. He played 115 times for England.
