David Beckham got emotional this Father’s Day 2025, opening up about the pride and purpose he finds in being a dad — and notably included all four of his children in a heartfelt Instagram tribute, even as ongoing tension with son Brooklyn Beckham continues to make headlines.
The 49-year-old soccer icon poured his heart out in a rare personal message shared with his 86+ million Instagram followers, offering a public display of affection for Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — and even gave a touching nod to wife Victoria Beckham, thanking her for helping him become a father.
“My Favorite Job in Life Is Being a Dad” — Beckham Reflects
David’s Father’s Day post featured a carousel of nostalgic throwback photos, some dating back to his early parenting days, capturing tender moments with each of his children through the years.
“My most important and favorite job in life is being a dad,” he wrote.
“I’m so proud of all of you. Like daddy — sorry boys — tells you every day, I’ll always be here for you no matter what.”
The message struck an emotional chord with fans — but what really stood out was his public acknowledgment of Brooklyn, who’s been at the center of family drama in recent months.
