David Beckham can’t contain his smile on Disney World trip with Harper and Cruz
David Beckham was the ultimate big kid as he looked even more excited than daughter Harper during a trip to Disney World.
The former England star, 47, and wife Victoria Beckham, 48, took their two youngest children to the magical theme park in Florida this week as they enjoyed a family holiday together.
Spice Girl and businesswoman Victoria and footballer David were joined by Harper, 11, and Cruz, 17, on the trip, though Brooklyn, 23, and Romeo, 19, were absent.
Mum Victoria gave a shoutout to her sons as she posted snaps on Instagram however, writing: ‘Missing you!’ as she posed in a Minnie Mouse headband with Harper giving the peace sign beside her.
The parents were making memories with their youngest pair as they headed off to sunkissed Orlando, with David looking the most excited of all to be meeting Mickey Mouse and the lads.
In photos shared to social media, the dad-of-four couldn’t keep the grin from his face as the family were taken behind the scenes, with one snap showing the footballer laughing as he, Victoria, Cruz and Harper posed with the famous mouse.
Another saw the famous couple standing side-by-side with Minnie, Victoria throwing her hands out for the rather goofy snap – and the talking dog himself even made an appearance.
Both Victoria and David were dressed in chic but casual all-black outfits, complete with white trainers, and the athlete looked as though he was doubled up with laughter as he posed for a solo snap with Minnie.
The kids, meanwhile, were more colourful for the Disney trip, with Cruz in a pink Adidas cap and red Coca Cola jumper, and Harper in a pale blue dress fit for a Disney princess.
At 17, Cruz may have felt a little too old to be posing with the cartoon characters, but put it all aside to make the trip as magical as possible for his little sister.
The teenager was seen accepting an awkward hug from Minnie Mouse, as well as stepping into photos with Goofy and Disney princess Tiana from The Princess and The Frog, with his parents commenting on what a good big brother he was.
David also caught a solo snap of his youngest son looking out over the bannister at the people milling around the adventure park, captioning it: ‘Love you kiddies!’
The family also posed for a sweet snap with all four of them, Disney Land spread out below as they took a snap from a balcony.
It was 11-year-old Harper who – perhaps after David – appeared to have the most fun however, as she took in all the sights and sounds the famous park has to offer.
She compared dresses with Minnie Mouse, posed in a Rattatoille headband with grinning dad David, went on multiple rides, and even got herself locked up in the stocks for good measure.
The trip comes as it was revealed David is suing gym franchise F45 Trainings as he alleged it owed him sponsorship payments.
David, as well as golfing star Greg Norman, are suing the company for $20million (£17.7m) as they claim it owes them payments in cash and stocks.
Both say they signed up to an agreement whereby they would promote F45 Training to help grow the brand.
Their deal allegedly stipulated that the star’s compensation would be an annual payment, said to be $1.5m (£1.3m) for Beckham – as well as a percentage of the company’s stock.
According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, Beckham and Norman now say that F45 Training has failed to pay them ‘substantial cash and equity compensation’, resulting in the multi-million-dollar legal action.
A spokesperson for the company told Metro.co.uk: ‘F45 is disappointed to learn about the recent lawsuit filed by the licensing company for David Beckham, Authentic Brands Group (ABG). F45 believes this suit is an attempt by ABG to unreasonably profit off the rights it purchased from Mr. Beckham, despite ABG prematurely terminating Mr. Beckham’s relationship with F45.
‘F45 deeply values the relationships with all of its ambassadors, including Mr. Beckham, and does not believe this lawsuit has any bearing on, or is an accurate reflection of, F45’s relationship with Mr. Beckham.’
