David Beckham poses with daughter Harper for sweet snap as they kick off the New Year at a basketball game in Miami
David Beckham kicked off the new year with some father-daughter time as he played a basketball game with youngest child Harper at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Thursday.
The football great, 49, posed for a cute photo with his 13-year-old daughter as they sat courtside watching the Miami Heat take on the Indiana Pacers, with the latter quickly emerging victorious.
David cut a cool figure and kept his look simple in a plain white T-shirt which he teamed with black jeans and light pink Adidas sneakers.
While Harper also rocked a casual white T-shirt for the sporting event, and paired her look with a stylish pink handbag.
Former England player David, who is now co-owner of Inter Miami football club, looked cheerful as he was greeted with cheers as he walked onto the pitch before shaking hands with other matchgoers.
It turned out to be a star-studded event as British rapper Central Cee was also in attendance.
David Beckham kicked off the new year with some father-daughter bonding time when he played a basketball game with youngest child Harper at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Thursday.
David cut a cool figure and kept his look simple in a plain white T-shirt which he teamed with black jeans and light pink Adidas sneakers.
The tattooed hitmaker, 26, looked in good spirits as he shot some hoops after the match.
David’s appearance comes just days after he happily rang in the new year with his loved ones as they lived it up in Miami after jetting off for a festive getaway.
David, who has once again been rejected for a knighthood in the New Year’s Honors list, brushed off the scorn as he took to Instagram in the early hours of Wednesday morning to share a selection of sweet family snaps.
Among the images were a sweet shot of the former footballer puckering up to Victoria, 50, as well as throwbacks to the family at his Inter Miami CF matches, posing with the Emmy he won for his Netflix docuseries of the same name and a shirtless photo.
David captioned the post: ‘Happy New Year from myself, my wife and my wonderful children… Thank you for an unforgettable year and I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2025 Love David x’.
Victoria also took to social media to share a post, uploading a video of herself dancing with David to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ Islands in the Stream.
She captioned the clip, “My number one dance partner, my everything I love you so much X.”
Their youngest son Cruz, 19, saw the couple watching the fireworks with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, in 2025.

He wrote in Portuguese: ‘Feliz ano novo’, which means Happy New Year in English.
Cruz’s older brother Romeo, 25, rang in the new year with his new girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 25, as they enjoyed a luxurious meal overlooking the London Eye ahead of the city’s amazing fireworks display.
The family’s celebrations came after David was omitted from the New Year’s Honors list despite his friendships with the royal family, while his former Three Lions teammate Gareth Southgate was given the top gong.
Just last month, former England captain David was spotted joining King Charles and Queen Camilla for a banquet to mark the state visit of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
He was said to be ‘humbled’ by his invitation and, along with Victoria, ‘very happy’ to be there.
David, a staunch Royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, received his OBE from the late Queen in 2003, and for a time it seemed as if a knighthood might be within his reach.
While his appointment as ambassador to HM’s charity, the King’s Foundation, earlier this year was seen as an encouraging sign, David’s complicated tax affairs were seen as a potential barrier.
David’s appearance comes just days after he happily rang in the new year with his loved ones and hugged wife Victoria as they had a blast in Miami after jetting off for a festive getaway.

And in February 2017, there was a slew of leaked emails that showed the former footballer appearing to unleash a barrage of expletives criticizing the honors committee for once again delisting him for a coveted gong.
There was also an alleged leaked email from 2013 in which, bitter at not being knighted, he complained about Katherine Jenkins and raged ‘Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at rugby and visiting the troops. Plus taking coke. F****** kidding.”
He was once again removed from the list, with former England manager Gareth instead getting the nod following the Three Lions’ progress to the European Championship finals in Germany this summer – having also finished runners-up at the 2020 European Championship.
A source told MailOnline: ‘It’s Gareth’s big hurray and David is delighted for him. David knew it wouldn’t be his time and he’s fine with that, but you never know what’s at stake.”
