David Beckham takes his mind off family feud as he gushes over his love for beekeeping in sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day
David Beckham gushed over his love for beekeeping with a sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day on Saturday, amid his heartbreaking family feud. The former England footballer, 50, has a profound interest in the insects, and even launched his own honey-based snack business in recent years. To mark the special day, he took to Instagram to share a post with his followers to acknowledge the event. A video saw David pouring some fresh homemade honey from his beehive in the garden - something he set up in 2020. David smiled as he showed off the delicious jar full, which said 'Golden Beez' on it. He also made sure to plug his brand, Bee Up, in the post too. Bee Up is sold in Target and offers a range of healthy snacks for kids. Alongside the post, he shared: 'Today we celebrate our beeeeeezzz. From owning my first hive at home in 2020, to starting my own honey-based snack business. 'I've learnt so much about the health benefits of our honey-bees. Happy World Honey-Bee Day.' He was met with lovely comments about his excitement for World Honey Bee Day, including one from TV presenter Matt Baker, who wrote: 'Let's get you on Countryfile.' His excitement for the special day comes after his ongoing feud with his estranged son Brooklyn and his daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent. David and wife Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding. Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn's parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son. They said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. 'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.' Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal was a glamorous affair packed with family, fashion and friends earlier this month. As more pictures of both the big day and the after-party come to light, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the festivities were fairly one-sided - with most of the guestlist comprising Brooklyn's post-Nicola peers and pals. The lack of Brooklyn's side sparked widespread chat on social media, including comments from fans who likened their relationship to that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - after the royal turned his back on his family and moved to the US. When Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in 2022, they hosted a three-day Palm Beach extravaganza, which saw 500 guests party in no-expense-spared marquees in front of the ocean - where both families stood front and centre . Fast-forward three years and the change is remarkable, with no sign of the Beckham parents or the siblings Brooklyn held so close to his heart. In their place is the entirety of the Peltz clan - with Nicola's mother Claudia, 70, and her father Nelson, 83, holding all-star roles on the day. At the 2022 festivities, during the Hora - also known as the Jewish wedding chair dance - where the bride and groom are lifted on chairs while guests dance around them in a circle, David was also lifted up on a seat. Brooklyn's brothers acted as his Dior-clad groomsmen at the event although their positions have officially been occupied by the in-laws. Nicola has six brothers, all of whom Brooklyn is fond however he is very close to her brother Diesel, who introduced him to his bride. As well as swapping siblings, it has also been revealed that Brooklyn has shunned some of his old friends - as illustrated by his wedding pictures.

Victoria Beckham shares update on David's hospital stay
Victoria Beckham has revealed that her husband, former football star David Beckham, was recently hospitalised. The fashion designer shared the news on her Instagram Story, posting photos of David resting in a hospital bed with a blue sling on his right arm. He wore a hospital gown and had wires attached to his chest. 'Get well soon, Daddy,' Victoria, 51, wrote alongside the heartfelt images. Victoria later posted another photo showing David after his discharge. He was comfortably tucked into a plush white bed, holding a friendship bracelet spelling out 'Get well soon.' The couple's fans were quick to send their best wishes. David, 50, also enjoyed BeeUp fruit snacks, a natural honey-sweetened energy treat, during his recovery. Victoria shared this to give a glimpse of his healing process. The Beckhams have not officially disclosed the exact reason for David's hospital stay. However, reports from the Irish Star suggest that David underwent surgery to address a wrist injury dating back to 2003. An X-ray revealed a screw stuck in his forearm from the original operation that had not dissolved properly. A source close to the family told Page Six , 'David's old injury needed attention. The screw caused discomfort, so surgery was necessary.' David and Victoria have shared their marriage since 1999. They share four children: Brooklyn (26), Romeo (22), Cruz (20), and Harper (13). The family has faced some public tensions recently. Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz reportedly missed David's 50th birthday celebrations. Rumours of a family rift grew when Brooklyn found out about his father's knighthood through social media rather than from family members. David Beckham remains a global icon, admired by many South Africans for his football legacy and philanthropic work. His hospitalisation reminds fans of the physical toll that professional sports can take, even years after retirement. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
