Victoria Beckham Shares Snaps of Husband David in Hospital Bed

The fashion designer added a sweet message wishing the former footballer a speedy recovery.

Newly knighted soccer legend Sir David Beckham is taking some much-needed recovery time. Victoria Beckham took to Instagram Stories Thursday night to share two snaps of her husband, 50, resting in a hospital gown. According to the Irish Times, the former footballer underwent surgery to repair a recurring issue related to a wrist fracture he sustained while playing for Manchester United in 2003. The first of Victoria’s stories shows her husband resting with his right arm in a sling, alongside the caption “Get well soon daddy.” The former Spice Girl, 51, also shared a close-up of Beckham’s hand bearing a friendship bracelet that also reads, “Get well soon.” Just two weeks ago, the Beckhams celebrated the news that David had been knighted by King Charles for his athletic achievements and charity work. Beckham’s hospital stay also comes as the couple navigate a rumored rift with their eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30. However, the parents—who also share sons Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13—recently extended an olive branch, tagging Brooklyn in a series of Instagram posts celebrating Beckham’s knighthood and Father’s Day and each writing, “I love you.”
