David Beckham may be recovering from surgery, but he's doing it in the most Beckham way possible—with style, a sense of humour, and fresh vegetables in hand. The football icon, now 50, recently underwent wrist surgery to correct a long-ignored injury, and fans are relieved to see him back home and in good spirits. The cause of the procedure? A screw from a decades-old operation that had failed to dissolve and instead embedded itself in his forearm, quietly causing pain for years until it flared up recently.
The original injury dated back over 20 years to a friendly match against South Africa while Beckham was playing for England. Though he continued to power through his storied football career, the discomfort grew over time. A scan finally revealed the culprit—and Beckham decided it was time to fix it once and for all. The surgery went well, and sources say he’s recovering comfortably, surrounded by love, laughter, and a few homegrown cucumbers.
Enter Victoria Beckham, who has been by her husband’s side throughout his recovery—and who, true to form, shared a glimpse into their domestic bliss. In a cheeky Instagram video, David can be seen proudly showing off cucumbers picked from their garden, his arm tucked carefully in a sling. Victoria couldn’t help but add her signature wit, captioning it: “Over performing on the cucumber front Sir David.” Fans were delighted by the light-hearted moment, which showed the couple’s close bond and resilience through the healing process.
It’s not the only reason David Beckham has been in the headlines recently. Earlier this month, he celebrated a major life achievement—being officially knighted in King Charles III’s Birthday Honours. The long-anticipated recognition highlighted his immense contributions to sport and philanthropy. Beckham called the honour “truly humbling,” reflecting on how far he’d come from his humble beginnings in East London. “For a boy from Leytonstone, playing for and captaining my country was the greatest honour,” he shared.
Through it all, David and Victoria continue to embody what fans love about them—elegance mixed with humour, hard work met with gratitude, and always, unshakeable support for one another. With their four children—Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—the Beckham family remains close-knit, even in the quieter, healing moments.
And as for David? With his surgery behind him and a knighthood on his résumé, he’s back to enjoying the simple things: time with family, fresh produce, and a bit of well-earned rest. Sir David Beckham, cucumber grower and British icon, is healing—one veggie at a time.
