Victoria and David Beckham recently enjoyed a rare moment of public affection aboard their £16 million yacht, the "Seven," while observing a solar eclipse off the coast of Portofino. The couple, along with their younger children Cruz and Harper, and Romeo and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, were seen sharing a hug before the celestial event.
David Beckham was observed cuddling his daughter Harper, 15, as they watched the eclipse. Victoria Beckham, 52, opted for a denim shorts and crisp white shirt ensemble for a family dinner, later changing into a floral print dress for the eclipse viewing. David, 51, was also seen tending to a grill, with the family enjoying a feast on deck. Cruz, 21, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, were also present, having recently concluded Cruz's tour. Romeo, 23, was seen taking photos alongside his father.
David Beckham shared images of the eclipse and a collection of crystals on social media, stating the family was "manifesting & making our wishes." However, astrology enthusiasts have cautioned against such practices during an eclipse, warning that unpredictable energy could lead to unintended outcomes. Dr. Michael Lennox, an astrologer, expressed that attempting to manifest during an eclipse is akin to shooting an arrow into a hurricane, with the blocked light potentially hindering desired results.
The Beckhams purchased their 130-foot yacht, "Seven," in 2022. The vessel features five cabins accommodating ten guests and seven crew members, along with a spa bath on the upper deck and a 65-foot garage equipped with water toys and a jet ski. The yacht's name, "Seven," honors David's iconic football jersey number and his daughter Harper's middle name.
This family gathering occurred while reports indicate a continued estrangement from their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz. Earlier in their Mediterranean trip, the Beckhams were reportedly in the vicinity of Brooklyn and Peltz, who were vacationing with Elton John on his yacht in Nice, a short distance from the Beckhams' location.
Reports of a rift surfaced shortly before Christmas last year when Brooklyn reportedly blocked his parents on Instagram. His legal team subsequently contacted the Beckhams' representatives to request that all communication be channeled through them. In January, Brooklyn released a statement indicating he had cut ties with his family, asserting he was no longer part of "Brand Beckham" and characterizing his family members as "performative."
