David Beckham was supported by his youngest sons at his football team Inter Miami's first game of the season over the weekend.
The 49-year-old looked nervous before the start of the match against New York City FC on Saturday, which ended with a 2-2 draw. But sons Romeo, 22, and 20-year-old Cruz were there to cheer on their dad's team from the sidelines.
And it turned into a bit of a star-studded event as David's close pal, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria - who is famously friends with his wife Victoria - was also there, as was tennis legend Serena Williams. The 43-year-old was even gifted a personalised pink jersey shirt by David as a memento from the match.
It's set to be a big year for David, personally as well as professionally, as the former footballer turns 50 on May 2. While there is sure to be a big celebration, he has also been helping pal Gary Neville draw up a 'bucket list' for his own 50th birthday, which was last week.

They include going to Australia to watch the Ashes, visiting Munich for Oktoberfest, snowbiking in Canada and Scotland to travel around the North Coast 500 route in a campervan.
But Gary also explained that he has been considering getting his first tattoo at the age of 50– and that best pal David has offered to help. He said: "I think Becks is getting me the tattoo for my birthday because he's a specialist in tattoos. You go and meet the guy and see. I don’t know whether to get some writing or like a devil and a lion, a United, England thing.”

I can't believe you're 50 now – we all thought you were 50 at 17 years old with the cars you drove and the clothes you wore. But all joking aside mate, have the best time. I really can’t believe we’re all turning 50, but I'm sending lots of love and we’ll have a nice glass of wine to celebrate. Happy birthday mate and enjoy it!”
Gary said he didn’t feel his age, partly because his hectic work schedule keeps him busy. He shared: "I get up at 5am every day and I'm in the gym for 6am, back home for 7am spending an hour getting ready and seeing the kids, then I'm in the office at 8am."
Asked how it felt to be 50, he replied: "You think it's old. The scary thing is when you retire and see people you used to play with that are 50, and think, ‘No, that’s not right’. I don’t feel 50 though, I don’t know what 50 feels like, but I don’t feel it."
