David Beckham and son Romeo pull identical poses as they take in a Lakers game in LA – days after footballer’s second-eldest child made emotional speech at his 50th birthday bash

David Beckham and son Romeo pulled identical poses as they took in a Lakers basketball game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The football legend, 49, cut a casual figure in a black Adidas sweater and black joggers for the game which saw the LA team take on the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Romeo, 22, echoed his dad’s casual look, rocking a similar black top and trousers combo, topped off with a sports cap worn backwards.

The father and son were both seen leaning forward with a hand resting on their chin as they engaged in conversation during the game.

While they were also seen with serious expression while fully concentrating on the action as they sat courtside.

Following the game, the pair were all smiles as they greeted some of the players and other attendees.
David looked chuffed at one point as Lakers star LeBron James came over to say hello.

With the former Manchester United midfielder also seen posing with Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry.

It certainly was a star-studded crowd for the match as film star Andy Garcia was also in attendance and stopped for a chat with David.

Elsewhere, David stopped for a group photo alongside the United States Women’s National soccer team.

The father and son bonding time came days after David was left emotional as son Romeo gave a touching speech at his 50th birthday party in Miami.

The former footballer kicked off his celebrations very early with a black-tie event held a whole month ahead of his actual birthday on May 2.

He hired out his and wife Victoria’s favourite restaurant in the city, Cipriani, to hold a very lavish soiree for their A-list friends.

While the likes of Eva Longoria, Lionel Messi and Tom Brady were in attendance, David was also joined by his youngest children – Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
His eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were notably absent due to working commitments in Los Angeles.

Photographs shared to social media gave a candid insight into the festivities, with Romeo giving a sweet speech to honour his beloved father.

One picture showed Romeo – suited and booted in a black tuxedo – standing up with a microphone and reading his speech from a notecard.

While it isn’t known what he said, David was visibly overcome with emotion upon listening to his words as he flashed a warm smile at Romeo.

Victoria, 50, also reached across to put her hand on David’s knee while she gazed lovingly up at Romeo during the speech.

Another snap saw Romeo putting on a very loved-up display with his girlfriend Kim Turnbull as they sat alongside each other at the meal.

The London based DJ, 24, looked effortlessly glamorous in a green maxi dress as she cuddled up to Romeo, who placed his hand on her knee.

Victoria was seen laughing beside them and looking in the other direction, seemingly gazing up at David.

Cruz also cut a suave figure in a black tuxedo on the night as he attended with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, who have been dating since October.

Victoria stunned in a white satin gown while Harper was every inch her mother’s mini-me in a similar forest green dress.

Victoria also shared a photograph of herself smiling alongside her bestie, American actress Eva, 50, who looked gorgeous in a black satin dress.

In a caption, she revealed they were both wearing outfits designed by her very own brand as she gave an insight into the glitzy night.

David posed for a beaming snap alongside longtime pals Gabe Turner, David Gardner and Ben Winston and penned on Instagram: ‘Friends for life.’

David became best friends with Gardner while on Manchester United’s youth team as teenagers, and he gushed of their bond: ‘Love ya Mate. 35 years between us.’

David was also joined by a host of fellow sporting legends, including players from his Inter Miami team – Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and footballing icon, Lionel.

Hollywood stars Justin Theroux and Fisher Stevens were also in attendance, as well as Grammy winner Marc Anthony.
