David Beckham receives unusual Valentine's Day gift from wife Victoria as Inter Miami owner's new-found love for chickens is exposed

Inter Miami co-owner Beckham has been excited about looking after his own flock of chickens in recent months. And on Valentine's Day, he took to Instagram to thank his wife Victoria for getting him the latest edition of The Country Smallholder magazine - which provides news, practical information, how-to-guides and columns on hobby farming, organic gardening, veterinary advice, and more.

Along with Beckham posting a photo of the magazine in an Instagram story, the 48-year-old wrote: "My Valentine's gift," followed by a love heart emoji, and tagged Victoria as well.

Beckham received his very own flock of chickens for Christmas, which led Victoria to get the former England international a book called, 'Keeping Chickens for Dummies'. The couple set up a hutch and pen for the ex-footballer at their Cotswolds farmhouse to add to the beehive they have there. Last week, Beckham showed his "excitement" at finding eggs and "learning what they need" and now this magazine will just add to his enthusiasm for the whole process.

While Beckham will continue with his new chicken hobby, his side Inter Miami begin their 2024 MLS season next week, at home to Real Salt Lake on February 22, before facing David's former team LA Galaxy four days later.
