Doting dad David gets ‘physically ill’ when he has to leave his kids!
David Beckham is definitely a dad on duty! The former soccer ace opened up about his feelings toward fatherhood in the upcoming April issue of GQ, and the Brit hottie hubby of fashion designer Victoria Beckham made it clear that being a parent is his No. 1 priority these days.
Oo-er!
“I get physically ill when I have to leave the kids now,” he said, adding that he often spends his time watching Frozen over and over again with his four-year-old daughter Harper.
“I’m secure as a person, as a husband, as a dad,” the 40-year-old athlete continued, referring to how he’s settled into life at home since retiring from professional soccer in May 2013. “I’ve gone past the point of really worrying, caring.”
Beckham and his wife, are also parents to three boys – Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, and Cruz, 11.
Though he’s enjoying the domestic life, the soccer star did note that he misses being on the field on a daily basis.
“I miss soccer every day,” he said. “I don’t know whether it’s the athlete in me, or the passion I have for the game: I always think that I can step back on the field and play. … You know, maybe I could play another year in the U.S. If I was still living in L.A., I’d probably really seriously think about coming back for a year. But we’re living in London, and the kids are happy in the school.”
As for what he apparently can be found doing when he’s not “out and about,” well, he’s apparently watching the movie Frozen for the hundredth time with cutie Harper or, get this, he loves watching Friends reruns. Yes, seriously. Beckham just proved that he is literally all of us, and it’s refreshingly sweet.
He seems pretty nonchalant about this admission, but I have so many questions. First of all, does Victoria watch it with him? I can’t imagine the two of them curling up on the couch after a long day, turning on “The One With The Mugging” and laughing hysterically as if they’ve never seen the episode even though they have seen it no less than 12 times (is this anyone else, or just me?) but apparently the Beckhams are just like every other couple who still watch Friends on the regular.
This nugget of information further proves why David and Victoria are so amazing. After all, they first started dating when Friends was still on the air, so it’s safe to say that they are the second greatest thing to still exist from the ’90s. Our Central Perk gang tops them by a slight inch!
Nice to know that away from all the celebrity camera-flashing hysteria the Beckhams attract, behind the scenes they are just your average East End couple… Lovely Jubbly!
