Sir David Beckham is an English former footballer. He is the president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF and also a co-owner of Salford City. He won 19 major trophies in his career.

With United, he won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, two FA Charity Shields, the Intercontinental Cup, and the 1999 UEFA Champions League. After leaving United, he spent four seasons at Real Madrid and won the La Liga title in his final season.
In 2007, Beckham joined the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer on a five-year deal. The move was considered historic for football in the United States. He became the first British player to play 100 Champions League matches. He later returned to Galaxy and won the MLS Cup in 2011 and 2012.

David Beckham parents?
David Beckham’s parents are Ted Beckham and Sandra West. They were Manchester United fans and often travelled from London to watch matches. They married in 1969 and had three children: Lynne, David, and Joanne. The couple divorced in 2002 after 33 years of marriage.
Ted worked as a heating engineer and appliance repairman. Sandra worked as a hairstylist in nursing homes. David has said that both his parents worked long, tiring hours to support their family. He believes he learned his work ethic by watching their dedication.
Ted and Sandra have three children and are grandparents to eight grandchildren. After the divorce, Ted later remarried. He married Hilary Meredith in 2021 in London. David was his best man at the wedding and said he felt proud to support his father.
David Beckham Father – Ted Beckham
David Beckham has often said that his father, Ted Beckham, was his biggest inspiration. Ted started training David when he was very young, even making balls out of rolled-up socks for him to kick. David wrote that the strongest parts of his game were learned from his father during long practice sessions in the park.
A rift grew between David and his father after Ted Beckham wrote an unauthorized book in 2005. In it, Ted said he struggled with the pressure and attention that came with David’s fame. Their relationship was also strained when David joined Real Madrid in 2003. Ted said he learned about the move from David’s manager and felt deeply hurt. He was not invited to the signing, and he wrote that he feared losing his son.
David and Ted reconnected in 2007 after Ted suffered a serious heart attack. David flew from the United States to be with him. The incident brought them close again. In a Father’s Day film in 2019, Ted said that becoming a parent changes you and that he felt proud of the person David had become.
David Beckham Mother – Sandra West
Sandra Beckham, David Beckham’s mother, attended Paris Fashion Week in 2025 to support her daughter-in-law, Victoria Beckham. Sandra, who is 76, wore a full outfit from Victoria’s brand. She chose an all-black look with a silk camisole, a black blazer, and wide-leg trousers, matched with black pumps. She added a silver pendant and round glasses. David shared a backstage photo of the three of them and wrote, “Love you, mum.”
Sandra often appears at important family events. She spoke about David’s childhood in the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham. In the summer of 2024, she accompanied David to Wimbledon, where they sat in the Royal Box. Sandra wore a cream blazer, trousers, and a blouse. David shared photos of their day at Wimbledon and joked that he told his mother she must call him “Sir.”

David Beckham has two sisters: his older sister Lynne, born in 1972, and his younger sister Joanne, born in 1982. He is the middle child. The three of them grew up in Leytonstone in East London.
Lynne married Colin Every in 1999, just months after David married Victoria. David attended her wedding, where she wore a white gown and carried white flowers. Lynne and Every later had three children before separating. Joanne worked first as a hairdresser like their mother, then launched a luxury concierge service called WeAreYourCity in 2014. David attended the launch, but the company later closed.
