David Beckham Celebrates His Milestone 50th Birthday with Stylish, Star-Studded Miami Party

There's no party like a Beckham party!

David Beckham celebrated his milestone 50th birthday early on Sunday, March 30, during a party thrown by wife Victoria Beckham. The athlete's actual birthday is on May 2.

Held at Cipriani Downtown Miami in Florida, the celebration included many of the couple's famous friends — including Tom Brady, Shaquille O'Neill and Lionel Messi — as well as three of their four kids: sons Romeo and Cruz, plus daughter Harper. (The couple is also parents to son Brooklyn.)

The black tie event featured dinner and drinks, and guests enjoyed music crafted by DJ D-Nice at Cipriani's Socialista lounge.

David and his sons looked dashing in their classic black tuxes, while Victoria, Harper, Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel all wore sophisticated floor-length gowns.

"So I thought I'd start celebrating slightly early," David wrote in the caption of his Instagram post. "Such a special night in Miami 🩷."

He added, "So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with 🩷 Love you @victoriabeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven 🩷."

David's Instagram Stories featured even more fun photos, including one in which he posed between Brady, 47, and O'Neill, 53. "I'm so small," the 6-foot-tall Beckham wrote, sandwiched between the 6'4" Brady and 7'1" O'Neill.

Speaking with Men’s Health in February, David told the outlet that turning 50 later this year "doesn’t bother me one bit."

“People are asking me about it gently, like it should be a big issue,” he continued. “It’s not something that I’m worried about, as long as I’m fit and healthy and my family are healthy, that’s all I care about.”

David, who retired from soccer 12 years ago after an illustrious career, also said he is in great physical health at his current age — despite the many injuries he's suffered over the years.

“Do you know what, my body’s actually feeling better than it has ... for a long time,” the father of four told Men’s Health. “People ask where I feel it the most — is it my knees or my ankles? — My achilles was a bad injury towards the end of my playing career, but it never troubles me now, despite rupturing it.”

Victoria, 50, marked David's 49th birthday last year with a sweet social media tribute that included wholesome family photos.

“Happy birthday David. I love us getting really old together!😂😂,” the Spice Girls musician wrote in her caption. “You aren’t far behind me!!!! You are our everything!!!! The best daddy and husband we all love u so so much xxxxx."
