Injured David Beckham posts beaming snaps of mother's birthday amid family feud
Former footballer David Beckham, who is recovering from surgery after enduring a decades-long injury, was happy to share the spotlight with his mum, Sandra, as she marked her latest birthday
David Beckham gathered members of his family around him as he paid tribute to his mother on her birthday. The football star is the son of former hairdresser Sandra - who was celebrating her latest birthday this weekend.
David, 50, was on hand to help his mother ring in her 76th birthday on Saturday. And he brought at least his wife Victoria, 51, and son Romeo, 22, to the celebrations - with former Spice Girl Vicky documenting the day online.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the former singer shared a sunny snap of David posing alongside Sandra and a huge birthday cake that had been cut open to show a colourful sponge. A second image showed Romeo also posing with Sandra for a photo while Victoria added a caption stating "Happy birthday Nanny."
The cheerful scenes came just hours after David had revealed he is recovering from surgery. While the celebrations also come amid an ongoing feud within the family.
For months there have been reports that eldest son Brooklyn, 26, has been distant from his family - not least thanks to the fact he apparently snubbed David's recent landmark birthday celebrations. But taking to social media, Brooklyn shared a tribute to his grandmother.
The influencer shared a throwback picture of himself with Sandra, and captioned it: "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much."
David also shared a gushing post of his own to celebrate his mother's birthday, and made sure to give Brooklyn a nod. He captioned the tribute post: "Happy birthday mum we love you so much I hope u have the best day.
"Thank you for always being there for us all Love you x @sandra_beckham49 @lynnebeckhambriggs1972 @jo_jo_beckham_ @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven."
Last week, fans were concerned to see David in hospital after undergoing surgery. He has since been spotted sporting a sling to support his arm.
On Friday, a source close to David confirmed to the Mirror that he had undergone secret surgery to repair a broken wrist that he sustained 22 years ago - during a friendly football match against South Africa in 2003.
'It had been giving him problems recently and so he wanted to get it fixed,' the source confirmed.
They also added that he planned to check out of the hospital soon and 'hoped' to be able to get to Atlanta in time for his Inter Miami football team's next knockout match in the Fifa world Cup against his former club Paris Saint Germain on Sunday.
Photos were shared via social media showing David in a hospital bed.
Victoria shared a snap of David lying in bed, adding "Get well soon, Daddy," over the snap of him smiling while wearing a hospital gown. She also gave him a friendship bracelet made with white beads to form 'Get Well Soon'.
David recently revealed his long-running career left him with multiple injuries and years of "wear and tear". He said: "Certain parts of my body were a real mess."

The parent of one, who appeared in last year's E4 series, captured youngster Leo with a bandaged head after he received treatment in the medical ward. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 A MAFS star has revealed his son was rushed to hospital after an accident on the football pitch Credit: Instagram 6 Ryan Livesey documented son Leo's medical woe on his Instagram Stories Credit: Instagram 6 He entered MAFS as an intruder groom Credit: Channel 4 Ryan Livesey, who entered the Married At First Sight experiment as an intruder groom, showcased his brave seven-year-old offspring sitting patiently in the Paedeatric Emergency Department. He had a white bandage taped on the back of his skull with a bloodied wound visible underneath. Yet despite the drama, the youngster looked content to be playing a game on his hand held console. The TV star wrote on his Instagram caption: "A&E on a Friday night. "Leo's split his head open playing football." In the next slide posted to his Instagram Stories, Ryan revealed the wound in full glory. There were no further updates, suggesting the schoolboy is home and well. It is his second hospital trip in a matter of months, after he was rushed to hospital in December. He has previously described Leo as "my world, my purpose, my everything." RYAN'S HEALTH ISSUES Ryan was 22 when he learned he was going to be a dad, back in 2017, when he learned he was going to be a dad. MAFS groom bravely opens up about his battle with cancer saying 'it could come back' But his world was turned upside down three months later when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He fought the disease, only for it to return 18 months later. "Facing all of this at such a young age was the hardest thing I've ever been through," Ryan has said. He previously opened up to The Sun about how he discovered he had the terrifying disease after wetting the bed. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." I started wetting the bed, it was really embarrassing but I put it down to having too much to drink and of course, I didn't tell anyone and hid it,' Ryan said. 'I'd go to the toilet and not feel like I was emptying my bladder properly. 'I'd have to go again 20 minutes later because I couldn't hold it in. He then noticed blood in his urine after a night out a few months later. Ryan was diagnosed with stage two bladder cancer, making one of the 10,500 people in the UK each year - and 29 per day - to receive this life-changing news. 'I was in complete shock,' Ryan admitted. Luckily, after two battles with the disease, Ryan is now in remission. 6 The TV star is a proud dad of one Credit: Supplied 6 The medical woe follows a hospital admission for Leo last year Credit: Instagram

X Factor star 'splits from husband' as she makes Glastonbury debut Lucie Jones, who starred on the X Factor, has reportedly split from her husband Ethan Boroian, after eight years of marriage as she made her debut at Glastonbury Lucie Jones is performing at Glastonbury this year (Image: Darren Pepe ) A former X Factor contestant has reportedly parted ways with her spouse of eight years amidst her Glastonbury Festival debut. Lucie Jones and Ethan Boroian are said to have ended their marriage. The pair, who initially crossed paths during their 2009 X Factor auditions, have apparently decided to separate. Reports suggest that the couple are discreetly navigating through a divorce, with Lucie having unfollowed her husband on social platforms. Sources indicate that over time, the two have drifted apart. An insider remarked that they were "young when they married" and now Lucie's priorities have shifted. A source disclosed to The Sun: "She has been busy focusing on pursuing her career on the West End stage and travelling the globe, they're moving on with their lives. Lucie's in a really good place and has already moved on and met someone else and has loved performing at Glastonbury." They further commented: "Ethan is no longer in showbusiness and their lives were headed in different directions," reports the Mirror. Lucie and Ethan have been married for 8 years (Image:for ATG ) Article continues below Great British Bake Off winner issues very honest response after BBC axes show READ MORE: Lucie's performance at Glastonbury marked her first appearance at the iconic Worthy Farm event. Prior to the festival, she teased "cool surprises" for what she described as a "huge celebration of music and theatre" gearing up for a thrilling three-day stint. Overjoyed by the invitation to perform, she shared her excitement with the Mirror before her performances, giving a hint of what festival-goers could anticipate from her shows. She remarked: "When I was there last year, I was like, 'why is there no musical theatre here?' I was just walking around and I was thinking, these people would love a bit of defying gravity. "I think a lot of people think of musical theatre as like jazz hands and tap dance. But that just isn't the style that I do. It's going to be super upbeat and you're going to know every song. There's a bit of that in musical theatre, of course, but it's a whole world of other stuff as well." Lucie rose to fame on X Factor in 2009 (Image: ITV ) She also hinted at exciting collaborations for her upcoming performances. "There's a couple of friends that I've got that are playing at Glastonbury who, quite possibly will be joining me, or I'll be joining them during their set," she revealed. Article continues below "I'm really excited about one or two of them. It's going to be super cool and they're not necessarily musical theatre acts."
