Victoria Beckham straddles shirtless husband David before he cools off in the shower as besotted pair share very steamy moment on their £16M yacht

Victoria and David Beckham shared a very steamy moment on their £16million yacht in romantic Saint Tropez on Wednesday. Posh and Becks' still looked so in love all these years later as they shared a longing glance while she was seen straddling her shirtless husband on the top deck. Catching some alone time after welcoming the Ramsays and Eva Longoria onboard earlier this week, the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other. David, 50, flexed his abs as he cooled off in the shower after cuddling up to his fashion designer wife, 51. The loved-up pair, who wed in 1999, proved their family woes aren't getting in the way of their marriage as they shared a very intimate moment together. The family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months as it has been claimed Brooklyn, 26, has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Posh and Becks' looked still so in love all these years later as she was seen straddling the shirtless hunk on top deck David flexed his abs as he cooled off in the shower after cuddling up to his fashion designer wife David and Victoria have been holidaying on their yacht, Seven, off the coast of the French Riviera with their family. The only child not present is their eldest, Brooklyn. Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel were also seen with the family as they took a separate boat to shore. Cruz, 20, joined his parents mid-trip following a romantic break with Jackie, 30, elsewhere. Brooklyn is the only Beckham child not on the getaway, having spent the week before in the same location with his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and his in-laws. The eldest Beckham son looked to be missing out on a fun-filled trip, as the other offspring made the most of their trip together. Brooklyn has left the south of France to return to the U.S, where he was spotted looking glum on an outing in New York with his wife and mother-in-law, Claudia, on Tuesday. He narrowly avoided a run in with his family in France amid their ongoing feud, after both families were pictured in the same port just days apart. Romeo and Harper, 14, originally joined their parents Victoria and David for some time away, before they were later joined by Cruz and Jackie. The loved-up pair, who wed in 1999, proved their family woes aren't getting in the way of their marriage as they shared a very intimate moment together Victoria straddled David as he looked invested in his book The shirtless hunk flashed his muscular physique David showered off after taking a dip in the ocean David showcased her ripped abs Brooklyn and Nicola have continued to keep away amid an ongoing family feud, as the pair lived it up on a £85million vessel that dwarfs his parents' close by last week. Posh and Becks' traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea. A source told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything. 'It's not an oligarch-style superyacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water. 'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.' Earlier this week, Victoria gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea David went back to his book as Victoria headed for some shade David ditched the shirtless look for a green T-shirt The former Spice Girl has proved she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves by 'liking' several of his social media facts. Notably, in the three-weeks spanning July 5 and July 26 - she liked every single one of his posts that didn't feature Nicola. All posts in which he was seen with his wife, were not acknowledged by Victoria. It is possible that these posts - four out of the 16 - were simply not seen by her. Victoria has not liked any of Nicola's posts in the same time period. Nor have the Lola actress and Brooklyn liked any of Victoria's. Brooklyn did, however, open up about the only thing he and wife Nicola argue over amid the ongoing feud with his famous family. Despite their troubles, the hunk suggested the couple, who wed in 2023, are still very much in the honeymoon stage and only disagree over the thermostat. He told GQ: 'By the way, that's the only argument me and my wife have, the temperature in the room. She loves it'. 'She runs cold, so she always wants it all hot all the time. I always run hot, and I like to have it a little bit colder, so we meet in the middle.'

The holiday hotspot cracking down on ‘half-naked' tourists

The French seaside resort of Les Sables-d'Olonne has implemented a ban on 'half-naked' tourists walking shirtless or in swimsuits in its town centre. Mayor Yannick Moreau stated the rule addresses 'indecent behaviour' and promotes 'respect' and 'public hygiene'. Tourists found violating the ban away from the beach face fines of up to €150 (£130). Municipal police officers have been instructed to enforce the new regulation. This measure follows similar actions in other tourist destinations, such as Albufeira in Portugal, which proposed fines for holidaymakers in swimwear in the city.

Tom Ridgway obituary

My friend Tom Ridgway, who has died of cancer aged 51, was a freelance writer, editor and translator. He worked prolifically: on serious documents for the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development; and on less earnest fashion and culture magazines, including Colors, System and Tank – he once received a Louis Vuitton bag as payment. He lived in many places, including Lichfield, Malvern, Treviso, New York and Berlin, but, for the past 20 years, he had made his home in Paris, eventually becoming a French citizen. There, over the last decade, he became a specialist in editing photographic essays, including for the publishers Delpire & Co, Atelier EXB and Self Publish, Be Happy. Born in Sutton Coldfield, in the West Midlands, to Phillipa (nee Bayliss), a teacher, and Anthony Ridgway, a chartered agricultural surveyor, Tom went to school as a boarder at Malvern college. He studied English at Queen Mary London University, graduating in 1995, and started his writing life as a film reviewer for London Student. He gained a master's in medieval literature from New York University in 1999, and another, in the history of Paris, from the University of London Institute in 2022. He loved to travel, often to less-visited places, often in less-obvious seasons. Over 32 years of friendship that started out in university halls, he and I travelled and talked around Iran, Mexico, India, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. He loved long 'marches moches' (hideous hikes) through the less picturesque edges of cities. He enjoyed living between different worlds but found grounding in the English language. Tom was a great friend. He always wrote – mostly on old postcards, in perfect, tiny script. He organised people – to meet, to eat, to cycle. But he also liked time alone; particularly with his wife, Delphine de Lardemelle, whom he met at a picnic in Paris in 1999, and married in 2017, and their daughter, Aiko. Even as Tom became ill, he was fiercely clear-eyed, independent, and able to laugh at the ironies and indignities of his situation. Travel became harder, but he fought to keep his horizons wide. Delphine and Aiko survive Tom, as do his parents and his two brothers, Stephen and Matthew.
