David Beckham, 50, reveals ‘something is missing’ in his life in candid new interview amid escalating ‘feud’ with son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz

David Beckham has revealed ‘something is missing’ in his life amid his escalating ‘feud’ with son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

The former footballer, 50, who played for Manchester United and England, opened up about missing his successful football career in a new interview with Time Magazine on Tuesday.

He shared: ‘I miss training every day. I miss playing every weekend. Every day, I wake up, and I feel like something’s missing. Even at 50 years old, in my head, I can still play.’ 

Elsewhere during the chat, David and his wife Victoria gave fans an insight into their fitness routine, and who ‘works harder’.  

David said: ‘I let Victoria believe that she’s working harder, but I think I’m the one that’s working harder. Don’t tell her that.’ 

Victoria added: ‘David does an hour in the gym, and I do an hour and 45 minutes, so I will let you make that decision.’

Brooklyn came close to bumping into his father David during a fly-in visit to London on Monday – but the pair still seem to be worlds apart amid their ongoing family feud.

The aspiring chef, 26, was back in the UK posing for a new modelling campaign with upscale fashion company Moncler following strained relations with the wider Beckham family.

While Brooklyn was taking part in the pH๏τoshoot, his father David was just half a mile up the road at the Chelsea Flower Show chatting to King Charles and Queen Camilla .

It was a fly-in visit for Brooklyn who arrived in London early Monday morning and was at the pH๏τoshoot from 9am until around 4pm.

He then went to his H๏τel in Park Lane to have a relaxed evening with Nicola and flew back to America at 7am on Tuesday.

He opted not to stay at the Beckham’s family home in Holland Park which was located close by the shoot.

Brooklyn and Nicola have signed a big money deal to be ambᴀssadors for the Italian brand.

A source told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn has now signed a six-figure deal to front Moncler’s new campaign and flew into London to shoot it yesterday. He was being pH๏τographed in the street and people pᴀssing by couldn’t believe it when they saw it was Brooklyn.

‘Working with Nicola on this campaign is really exciting for Brooklyn too. They love working together and think this Moncler campaign is very chic.

‘But it strikes a chord knowing how close in distance Brooklyn was to David given how tense their relations have been recently. Brooklyn was filming five minutes away by car.’

The insider noted that Brooklyn’s relationship with his family is ‘still strained’.

Brooklyn cut a trendy figure for the shoot, sporting an off-white bomber jacket with a beige jumper and cream cargo trousers.

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Brooklyn Beckham for comment.

David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following a fall-out with Brooklyn, who lives in the United States with his wife and her wealthy family.

Taking to Instagram on Monday , Victoria, 51, appeared to offer an olive branch by sharing a group pH๏τo of their four children alongside her father, Tony Adams – who celebrated his birthday over the weekend, with the accompanying message: ‘We both love you all so much!’

The undated pH๏τo also features Victoria’s mother Jackie, flanked by Brooklyn and his siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.

David is allegedly ‘desperate to make amends with his son as he fears history is repeating itself’ following his bitter fall out with his father Ted in 2005.

In the latest evidence of this, David included Brooklyn in a post about Mother’s Day in the U.S. as he dedicated a post to the mother of his children, Victoria.

Over the weekend, David reached out to his son on social media as rumours of their family feud continue to bubble.

A sweet black and white pH๏τo showed Victoria cuddled up with her four kids, soon after welcoming their daughter Harper.

Alongside the pH๏τo, David wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the best mommy. To all our friends in the U.S. Happy Mother’s Day.’

Meanwhile, Victoria shared a pH๏τograph of a beautiful bouquet of flowers she had been sent by Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.

While David and his dad Ted, 77, now share a close-knit relationship, the father-son duo were once not even on speaking terms.

After Ted suffered a near-death health scare in 2007, it sparked the pair to make amends and get back in touch – and they have been close ever since.

And now David is reportedly worried ‘history is repeating itself’ amid his rift with his and Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn.

Elsewhere, the Beckhams’ staggering fortune was revealed this week.

Almost 30 years after the Posh and Becks brand was launched, and a number of career pivots later, the couple have amᴀssed an astonishing combined wealth of £500million. 

The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer and ex footballer turned MLS club owner, brand ambᴀssador, farmer and bee keeper have seen their joint bank balance skyrocket by £45million between 2024-2025.

The incredible speed of their wealth increase is also proven by the fact that the couple debuted on the rich list in 2002 with a net worth of £35million, just five years after getting together.

Victoria and David have amᴀssed their wealth over their years through their respective careers, with both continuing to rake in the cash even after retiring from football and singing.

David has been the face of numerous brands and advertising campaigns, having teamed up with the likes of Adidas, BOSS, Haig, Armani and Maserati to name a few, in addition to his own brands.

He also continues to be a big face in the footballing world and is one of the co-owners of Inter Miami football club.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s eponymous fashion label continues to go from strength-to-strength after its shaky start.

Both Victoria and David kick started their money-making moves early.

Victoria was part of one of the most merchandised pop groups in history, with the Spice Girls setting the precedent for marketing and music tie-ins when they applied for 100 trademarks and signed sponsorship deals worth £300million in 1997, just a year after the release of Wannabe.

David meanwhile was fully immersed in the lucrative world of football by the time he fell in love with his Spice Girl wife.

David's biggest future payout will surely come from his Inter Miami team, which is estimated to be worth $1.2billion, 50 times what he paid in 2014.

David’s biggest future payout will surely come from his Inter Miami team, which is estimated to be worth $1.2billion, 50 times what he paid in 2014.

He once said ‘my career has never been about the money, wherever I’ve gone I played the sport as I love it,’ but whether he has chased the cash or not, his unique bankability as a footballer pin-up with a popstar partner has seen his fortune surpᴀss that of any of his peers.

In 2001 he signed a £16million contract to remain with Manchester United before a £25million deal with Real Madrid two years later.

His most savvy deal came in 2007 though with his history-making signing with LA Galaxy, which netted him £128million over five years, equating to £25.6m each year, £492,307 a week and £2,930 per hour.

Before the ink dried, amid months of rumours about his move to MLS, analysts pointed out that the superstar player would have to take a 70 per cent pay cut thanks to MLS players’ annual salary cap of $2.1 million.

But with the help of his then-manager Simon Fuller, Beckham’s signing kicked off the Designated Player Rule which allows certain players to sign lucrative deals.

It meant Galaxy could bring Beckham to the States and the likes of Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and David Villa all followed.

During his mid noughties playing years, David scored off the pitch too, negotiating lucrative commercial tie-ups worth £100m with the likes of Adidas, Pepsi and Coty.
