As a seasoned observer of the lives of the rich and famous, I must admit that David Beckham‘s latest venture into country living seems to be another feather in his cap. His journey from soccer superstar to global brand ambassador has been nothing short of remarkable. It’s fascinating to see him now embracing a simpler life amidst a flock of hens and game-birds, after the whirlwind of Paris Fashion Week and Brooklyn’s foray into fashion on the catwalk.


On a recent Friday, David Beckham donned his farming cap yet again as he tended to the poultry population residing at his £6million estate in the Cotswolds.

The ex-footballer, aged 49, who recently purchased a $60million mansion in Miami, received chickens as a gift from his wife Victoria, also 59, during Christmas. Since then, he has constructed a coop for the birds on their extensive property.

He now shares regular updates with fans and the birds have become his surprising pride and joy.

David posted a couple of pictures on Instagram showcasing his cherished herd to his 88.5 million fans, affectionately labeling one as “handsome”.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the iconic football player, who exuded charm in his crisp pale-blue shirt and stylish brown trousers. With a nod to his rural lifestyle, he donned a classic tartan flat cap, fully embracing his countryside role.

Additionally, he posted a brief video showing his chickens camouflaged amidst the foliage, accompanied by the caption: “Can you spot Waldo?

Beyond taking care of chickens, David’s responsibilities extend to managing a hive of bees on his farmhouse in the Cotswolds, being a parent to four children.

On Saturday, he stopped by to see them and posted a photo of the honeycombs on his Instagram story with the caption: “Keeping tabs on the sweet side.

During the lockdown, David surprised and thrilled fans as he unveiled his unexpected interest in apiculture (beekeeping).

During the pandemic, the former football player discovered a new passion for beekeeping and set up a hive in his own garden. He frequently updated his fans on this new endeavor.

As a passionate beekeeper tending to my very own hive nestled in my backyard oasis, I’ve captured moments of myself gathering ambrosial nectar – the sweet elixir of life – and engaging my little helpers, my cherished offspring, in this enchanting endeavor.

For quite some time now, and especially more recently, David often updates his loved ones about his daily activities at his countryside residence. This is since his departure from professional football over a decade back.

2016 saw the family acquiring a renovated barn situated in the beautiful Cotswolds region, serving as the central point for the sports legend’s latest endeavors since then.

In March, David gathered the initial egg from his chickens, following a visit to oversee his poultry.

Later on, he decided to post about it on Instagram, showing the egg he discovered after dedicating numerous hours to studying methods that would stimulate his chickens to lay eggs.

He informed his followers that he had returned to verify if there were any eggs, since he hadn’t been present for the first one, so they could check together.

As an overly enthusiastic admirer, I delved into some investigative work and made a few adjustments. Can you believe it? For the first time ever, they’re nestled in their new spot! This is truly exhilarating!

In another video he posted to give fans an update, the former soccer player was accompanied by a group of chickens and wild birds as he showcased the well-organized farmland adjacent to his home.

David really needs a peaceful weekend in the countryside, following several hectic weeks with Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week event and Romeo’s debut on the runway in fashion.

Most recently, the star and his famous family headed to Wholefoods in London to celebrate the launch of Brooklyn’s new hot sauce.

25-year-old up-and-coming cook declared his newest culinary endeavor, Cloud23, on Tuesday, and he recently disclosed that it is now for sale in the United Kingdom.

At a hefty £15 per bottle, the eldest Beckham child has launched two distinct flavors, Hot Habanero and Sweet Jalapeno, in addition to a line of apparel products.

At the inaugural gathering, his spouse, Nicola Peltz (aged 29), affectionately accompanied him. As they navigated through the retail space, she gently grasped his hand. Later, to advertise the merchandise, they both took a trip in a shopping cart.

The well-known family from Brooklyn was almost bursting with joy, as father David planted a kiss on his son’s cheek, joined by mother Victoria and younger brother Romeo, aged 22.

At the exciting event, not only was his grandma Sandra there, but so were his aunt Joanne, along with Nicola’s sibling – the actor Will Peltz.

David and Victoria might be discussing the possibility of purchasing an expansive nine-bedroom house as a way to remain near David’s team, Inter Miami.

2018 saw the construction of this expansive estate, boasting an array of captivating amenities such as multiple bedrooms, four convenient half-baths, and a gourmet kitchen fit for a master chef.

David and Victoria can also enjoy their own private cinema, a gym, a spa and a pool.
