David Beckham proved he was unbothered by Rebecca Loos‘ continued claims that they had an affair while celebrating his 50th birthday.
The retired soccer star commemorated the milestone with a star-studded, black-tie affair at Cipriani Downtown Miami Sunday.
“So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early,” Beckham, whose actual birthday is on May 2, wrote on Instagram Monday, along with photos from the fête.
“Such a special night in Miami 🩷,” he continued. “So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with 🩷 Love you.”
For the all-out bash, David and his two sons — Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20 — sported suave tuxedos.
Meanwhile, his wife, Victoria Beckham, wore a long white silk gown as their daughter Harper, 13, looked chic in a black dress.
Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostol, opted for a blue gown with fringe details on the neckline and Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, wore a sage green look.
The couple’s eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were notably missing from the soirée. However, it’s unknown why.
Aside from David’s family members, several A-list celebrities attended the event, including Tom Brady, Shaquille O’Neal, Justin Theroux, Lionel Messi, Marc Anthony and his wife, Nadia.
Also there was actor Fisher Stevens, billionaire businessman Jamie Salter, Anastasia Beverly Hills CEO Anastasia Soare, comedian Jack Whitehall, singer Michael Salgado, celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves and Miami mayor Francis Suarez.
David, who is 6 feet tall, shared a hilarious photo of himself on his Instagram Story in which he was seen sandwiched between 7-foot-1 Shaq and 6-foot-4 Brady.
“I’m so small,” he captioned the photo Monday.
He also shared an image with his family and some of their plus ones, writing, “I love you all 🩷.”
Guests were seen sipping on signature cocktails and the room was filled with gorgeous white floral arrangements.
DJ D-Nice and DJ Stretch Armstrong spun tunes for the occasion, which David called “a treat.”
“Sooooo good,” he wrote of the musical artists, adding, “Wow.”
David’s over-the-top bash unfolded on the same day that “60 Minutes Australia” aired an interview with his former assistant, Loos, in which she doubled down on her claims that she “never exaggerated” their alleged affair.
The former model claimed she and the British soccer star had had an affair in 2004 when Victoria was out of town. The allegations resurfaced in Netflix’s “Beckham” docuseries, which aired in 2023.
While David has denied Loos’ claims, Victoria admitted in the special series that she resented her husband when the allegations made headlines.
“It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us,” the 50-year-old recalled. “We were against each other if I’m being completely honest.”
The Spice Girls alum and David, who tied the knot in 1999, renewed their vows in 2006 after the scandal rocked their relationship. They renewed their vows again in 2017.
