When David Beckham turns 50, the stars turn out!
The retired soccer player celebrated his milestone birthday on Friday, May 2, and the following night, he marked the occasion with a dinner in London — and the guest list was star-studded, to say the least.
Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsay all stepped out to Core, a fine dining restaurant in Notting Hill, to celebrate David’s special day.
Longoria, 50, attended with husband José Bastón, and Ramsay, 58, attended with wife Tana. Both couples were pictured outside of the restaurant, walking hand-in-hand as they appeared to make their exit from the birthday bash.
Cruise was also photographed outside of the party, where the guest list also included director Guy Ritchie and his wife, actress Jacqui Ainsley.

In addition to the dinner with friends, David also marked his milestone birthday with an elegant family celebration, which he and wife Victoria Beckham documented with a joint Instagram post on Sunday, May 4.
Along with Victoria, 51, the couple’s sons Cruz Beckham and Romeo Beckham, and daughter Harper Beckham were also in attendance for the family affair, which included a candlelit dinner — over which Victoria and David shared a smooch.
The couple’s eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham was the only immediate family member missing from the celebration, and the extended family got in on the action as well.
David posed for photos with his parents, Sandra and Ted, as well as his sisters, Lynne and Joanne. The soccer legend was also pictured hanging out with Victoria’s parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams.

For dessert, Romeo, 22, brought out a tray of cupcakes, and Cruz, 20, later ditched his suit jacket — and put on a pair of sunglasses — to hop on a paddleboard, the Beckhams’ photos reveal.
In the caption of David and Victoria’s post, which also included snaps of recent family travel, the former Spice Girl wrote, “Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all ❤️.”
Also on May 4, David shared an Instagram post reflecting on how soccer has played a role in his life, from his meet-cute with Victoria to his current role as a co-owner of Inter Miami CF.
“Looking back on some of my favourite football memories as I turn 50… 📸⚽️,” he wrote alongside the post, which he kicked off with a childhood photo.

“I met my wife at a United game, found friends for life in the Academy & played for some of the best teams in the world ❤️,” David continued. “My children have come along on this special journey with me… and now a dream come true to be an owner with Inter Miami. Feeling very lucky 🩷.”

Earlier in the week, David shared another heartfelt birthday post on Instagram, writing that he is “very grateful for many things in my life – the teams I’ve played for, my teammates, managers, the fans, MY COUNTRY and being England captain, the children I have met over different charities I work with, my team in my business & the friends I have around me I feel truly blessed.”
“But,” he continued, ”my biggest accomplishment is and will always be my family. My mum and dad who sacrificed so much for me to live my dream of becoming a footballer, my sisters who had to put up with following their brother around in the freezing cold watching me play football and my amazing nan and grandad… My wife and best friend of 28 years and my beautiful children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & Harper you are the reason I get out of bed each day.”
