Victoria Beckham says she ‘could not be prouder' of David Beckham's knighthood
Former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham has said she 'could not be prouder' of her husband David Beckham after he was knighted in the King's Birthday Honours. The former England captain, who played for his country 115 times, was honoured for his services to sport and charity. He married Lady Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999 and the pair share four children together, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Victoria Beckham (@victoriabeckham) In a post shared on Saturday on Instagram, Lady Beckham said: 'You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! 'What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. 'The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. 'But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.' The football star, who was formerly appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003, responded to the post by expressing his love for his family, mentioning each of his children and adding 'I love you all'. Sir David first made his Premier League debut for United in 1995 and was part of the team that earned a dramatic Champions League final victory in 1999 when they beat Bayern Munich with two late goals. In total he scored 85 goals and collected honours including six Premier League titles and two FA Cups as a footballer, before retiring from the sport in 2013. Alongside his footballing career, the sports star is also a supporter of a number of charity causes including being a founding member of the charity Malaria No More UK's leadership council. Sir David was also named as an ambassador last year for the King's Foundation, an educational charity established by the King in 1990 and has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the humanitarian aid organisation Unicef since 2005. In a statement to the PA News Agency, Sir David said: 'Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. 'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. 'Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation. 'I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. 'It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.' The businessman is also the co-founder of Studio99, the production company behind the hit Netflix series, Beckham, and is a part-owner of MLS side Inter Miami. He is also known for his fashion and was named most stylish man of the year by GQ magazine in 1998, has modelled for the likes of H&M, Armani and Boss, and was appointed ambassadorial president of the British Fashion Council (BFC) in 2018 where he assisted in its search for young British talent from all backgrounds. Sir David is not the only fashion star in the family, with his wife Lady Beckham launching an eponymous fashion label in 2008 followed by a beauty brand in 2019.

Paulina Gretzky Turns Heads With 2-Word Message Before U.S. Open
Dustin Johnson hasn't had much success in major tournaments since deciding to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. The two-time major winner has missed the cut in five of his last seven major appearances with his best finish a t-31 at the Open Championship in 2024. Johnson, though, is returning to a golf course this weekend that saw him win his first major title. Advertisement He won the 2016 U.S. Open played at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania by three shots despite a controversial ruling from the USGA. 'Obviously, a lot of good memories from that year here," Johnson said after his practice round on Monday, June 9. 'Obviously, it was a long time ago. I like coming back here. I love the golf course. I was back here one other time when I got my honorary membership here, for that ceremony, which was really nice. [I'm] a proud member of Oakmont. I'm probably their favorite member because I never come.' As Johnson prepares for the tournament, his wife, Paulina Gretzky, is making waves on social media. She posted a three-photo carousel of the couple ahead of the year's third major title with the caption "nobody else." View the original article to see embedded media. Fans quickly found their way to the comments section. Advertisement "DJ is a very lucky man!! 👏🏻," one person said. "DJ's friends are gonna frame😂," joked another. "Clearly DJ is zoned in on the US Open this week. Grinding like never before," offered a third. Despite his lack of success in major tournaments of late, Johnson believes he can still compete with the best in the world. 'Golf is a strange sport," he said. 'I don't feel like I've slipped any. My scores haven't reflected [that], but it is a really fine line. Over the last couple months, I'm starting to see a lot of patterns and the game feels like it's coming back into good form. Advertisement 'I feel like my game's been really close. I haven't really gotten a lot out of it. It was definitely nice to have a nice finish last week [in Virginia]. I played really solid every day, hit it nice, gave myself a lot of opportunities, [but I] still kind of gave some shots away each round that you can't afford to do at a golf course like this. Johnson is slated for a practice round on Tuesday, June 10 with fellow LIV Golf stars Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Phil Mickelson at 1:25 p.m. ET.
