Victoria Beckham Says ‘Family Weekends Make Me Happy’ as David Recovers from Wrist Surgery and Awaits Knighthood

Victoria Beckham is embracing the simple joys of life—and for her, that means family time.

The 51-year-old fashion designer and former Spice Girl gave fans a glimpse into her personal world this past weekend, posting a tender snapshot with her parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams, to her Instagram Stories. Dressed down in a casual striped tee and jeans, Beckham stood smiling between her mother and father, framed by the greenery of a well-tended backyard. The caption was brief but revealing: “Family weekends make me happy.”

This peaceful family moment comes on the heels of a turbulent but ultimately uplifting week for the Beckham household. Just days earlier, Victoria’s husband—former international soccer icon David Beckham—underwent wrist surgery to address lingering issues from an old injury. The 50-year-old athlete originally fractured his wrist in a 2003 friendly match between England and South Africa. Though he has long since retired from the pitch, complications from that injury recently required medical intervention.

Victoria had first shared images of David resting in a hospital bed, his arm cradled in a blue sling, on June 27. Though the photos immediately sparked concern among fans, she was quick to offer reassurance. Within hours, she posted another update showing the Inter Miami CF co-owner back in action—albeit in the couple’s garden rather than on the field.

The video clip featured David gathering fresh produce from their home vegetable patch, lifting cucumbers and lettuce with the practiced precision of a man used to handling high-stakes tasks. With her signature dry wit, Victoria commented off-camera, “Look, he’s overperforming on the cucumber front.” She added a cheeky caption that nodded both to his green thumb and his recent royal recognition: “Overperforming on the cucumber front, Sir David!!!”

Indeed, the “Sir David” title is no exaggeration. Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace confirmed that David Beckham has been selected to receive a knighthood in King Charles’ Birthday Honours list. The accolade, long speculated and now officially confirmed, will elevate the football legend to the ranks of “Sir David Beckham.” As his wife, Victoria will henceforth carry the title of Lady Beckham.

The honor marks a crowning achievement in Beckham’s post-football career, which has included his pivotal role in bringing Major League Soccer team Inter Miami CF to life and continued involvement in global philanthropy and business. For Victoria, who has carved out a successful career in fashion and entrepreneurship after leaving pop stardom behind, the recognition is more than ceremonial—it’s a celebration of shared values and dedication.

But amid the fanfare of titles and hospital recoveries, Victoria’s latest post cuts through the glitz to reveal what matters most. In her words, it’s the quiet weekend moments spent with loved ones that bring real happiness.

It’s a sentiment that resonates with fans of the power couple, who have followed their evolution from celebrity darlings to respected figures in sports, business, and family life. While the public has seen them dazzle on red carpets and in boardrooms, moments like these remind followers that the Beckhams—beneath the fame—remain grounded in love, loyalty, and laughter.

As David continues his recovery and prepares for one of the highest honors bestowed in the United Kingdom, the Beckham household seems to be anchored by something far more enduring than accolades: each other.

And for Victoria, a woman once known for her icy pout and “Posh” persona, it’s the warmth of family that now takes center stage.

“Family weekends make me happy,” she wrote. No further explanation needed.
