David Beckham and his mum Sandra, 73, lead the stars enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon day ten

His sporting successes earned him the nickname of Golden Balls. 

Yet David Beckham swapped footballs for tennis balls as he joined his mum Sandra, 73, in the Royal Box on Centre Court on Wednesday for day 10 of the world famous tournament.

The pair were in good company on the outing as a host of stars flocked to the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

David, 47, looked happier than ever in the stands and put on a typically dapper display in a brown double breasted blazer and slim fitting white trousers.

The footballing legend opted for a white striped shirt and added a contrasting brown and white polka dot tie, as well as a white pocket square to complete his look. 

His mother, Sandra, looked equally stylish, wearing a peach coloured silk cami beneath a sleek white blazer. 

It’s no wonder the pair seemed in good spirits as Centre Court was packed full of action, with two former champions in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

Simona Halep, the 2019 champion at the All England Club, will be up first against Amanda Anisimova. Two-time champion Rafael Nadal will follow against Taylor Fritz.

Both Anisimova and Fritz are Americans and will be trying to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time.

Also in attendance at the tennis was Hugh Grant, 61, and his wife Anna Eberstein, 42. 

The duo put on an animated display as they watched from the stands, with Hugh pulling a variety of animated facial expressions during the match. 

Anna – who married Hugh in 2018 – looked effortlessly stylish for the day out as she slipped into a navy polkadot dress that complemented her tanned complexion.  

Gemma Chan, 39, who commanded attention in a form-fitting green and white check print mini dress as she attended with Dominic Cooper, 44.

The actress ensured she put comfort first in a low-heeled pair of pointed white slingbacks, but upped the glamour with a Louis Vuitton top handle bag. 

Adding extra glamour to her ensemble, Gemma styled her brunette tresses into stunning waves and shielded her eyes with a classic pair of shades. 

Sporting royalty was in attendance as ‘cycling’s golden couple’ Jason and Laura Kenny were seen heading to watch the festivities. 

Laura, 30, cut a stylish figure in a baby blue midi dress with embroidery anglaise detailing and a chunky belt that cinched in at her slender waist. 

She accessorised with a nude Gucci handbag and stiletto heels as she cuddled up close to Jason, 34, who looked dapper in a fitted navy suit. 

Meanwhile, David’s family outing at Centre Court came after he celebrated his 23rd wedding anniversary on holiday with wife Victoria. 

They were joined by their family members – including Victoria’s parents Jackie and Anthony Adams and her rarely-seen brother Christian – for the visit.  

Victoria had branded her husband her ‘everything’ in a gushing Instagram tribute, while noting that critics ‘said they wouldn’t last’ when they tied the knot in 1999.

David also marked the anniversary with his wife by joking that he was still ‘into Posh’ after more than two decades of marriage, posting a fun throwback clip of a sketch where they discussed their first meeting.

Victoria penned: ‘They say he isn’t funny, they say I never smile, they said it wouldn’t last! Today we celebrate 23 years being married. David you are my everything, I love you so much!!!!’ 

Mere minutes later David also took to Instagram to share his own anniversary tribute, posting a throwback clip of the couple appearing in a 2001 Comic Relief sketch where they were interviewed by Ali G.

In the skit, the couple are asked how they met, with Victoria admitting they met ‘at the football.’

As Ali asked David whether he was ‘into the Spice Girls,’ he coyly replied: ‘No but I was into Posh.’

Captioning his post the former England star added: ‘No but I was into Posh… 23 years ago today Posh became Mrs Beckham , but she will always be Posh ❤️ Happy Anniversary WOW 23 years & 4 beautiful kiddies.

‘I love you, we all love you @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven.’

It came after Victoria sweetly described David as ‘her everything’ as she offered a rare insight into their relationship in a candid interview with Vogue Australia.

She said: ‘We are still very close. We love each other. He’s my everything. And after all these years, we’re still up at the crack of dawn planting Easter eggs for the kids who are now actually adults, other than Harper, because that’s the kind of parents we have always been.’

Victoria noted that her son Brooklyn, who married Nicola Peltz in April, has also admitted he wants his marriage to be in the same vein as his famous parents.

She added: ‘We’d had a drink the night before, me and David, and we’re kind of stumbling around the garden planting Easter eggs, and I remember seeing Brooklyn standing outside his room watching us.

‘He turned around to Nicola and said, ”I wanna be like that. I want what my mum and dad have got.”’

Back in 1999, Posh and Becks opted for a Robin Hood-themed wedding when they got hitched at Dublin’s Luttrellstown Castle and stared down at their very star-studded guests from giant golden thrones while wearing matching purple outfits.

While Brooklyn and Nicola’s ceremony graced the pages of fashion bible Vogue magazine, his mum and dad sold the rights to their own matrimony to OK! for £1 million at the time – an unprecedented move which broke all previous records for celebrity photoshoots.
