'An unforgettable year!' - David Beckham brings in 2025 with touching Instagram message focusing on family and Inter Miami, with Lionel Messi included in photo gallery

The Instagram gallery featured snapshots of Beckham alongside his wife, Victoria, and their four children—Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. Among the images was a poignant photo of Beckham conversing with his former England manager, Sven-Goran Eriksson, who sadly passed away in 2024 after a battle with cancer.

Accompanying the images, Beckham wrote, “Happy New Year from myself, my wife, and my amazing kids... Thank you for [an] unforgettable year, and I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2025. Love David x.”

As co-owner of Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami, Beckham had plenty to celebrate professionally. The Florida-based team, bolstered by the addition of Lionel Messi, clinched the Supporters’ Shield in 2024, awarded to the team with the best regular season record. Messi’s presence has elevated the club’s performance and global profile, cementing Beckham’s vision for success in American soccer.

Beckham’s accomplishments extended beyond the pitch. The release of his Netflix documentary offered fans an intimate look at his life and career, resonating with audiences worldwide. The documentary was produced by Studio 99 Group, Beckham’s media company, which saw its revenue climb to £11.95 million in the latest filings.

Before becoming a global ambassador for the sport and a successful businessman, Beckham’s rise to fame began at Manchester United. Graduating from the club’s famed youth system, he achieved unparalleled success at Old Trafford, winning six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and the UEFA Champions League. His impact on the game transcended the sport, making him a cultural and fashion icon worldwide.
