Tom Brady’s glorious career has taken his popularity beyond the NFL community. Brady’s friendly relationship with the noted soccer star David Beckham has made headlines on multiple occasions to date. The 47-year-old met his British friend once more during his visit to the Allianz Arena in Munich to watch the coveted UCL 2025 finals a few weeks back.
The Brady-Beckham duo indulged in several discussions while enjoying the match from the VIP box of the arena. Amidst one of them, Beckham revealed how he met Brady for the first time.

Beckham and Brady were also joined by the Hollywood icon, Tom Cruise, and the French soccer legend, Thierry Henry, during their time at the Allianz Arena VIP box for a live episode of “Beckham & Friends” as an alternative broadcast for the UFC 2025 finals.
Following Brady’s entry, the show’s host, Kate Scott, highlighted how the New England Patriots veteran forged a unique similarity with Beckham in 2023 by becoming the co-owner of the British soccer club Birmingham City F.C., while Beckham has co-owned Inter Miami since 2018.
However, the 49-year-old soccer star later revealed that his connection with Brady dates back almost two decades. Beckham disclosed that he had his first meeting with the seven-time Super Bowl champion during one of his away matches while he played for the MLS franchise, Los Angeles Galaxy.
Beckham also mentioned that his second son, Romeo Beckham’s desire to accompany Brady and his son in throwing balls to the crowd eventually led to their meetup.
“We had an away game when I was playing with LA Galaxy. Romeo [Beckham’s second son] called me and said, ‘I’m going to throw balls over the park with Tom [Brady].’ Tom had got in touch with Victoria [Beckham’s wife] and said he was taking his son over [to the] park and [asked] if one of the boys [Beckham’s sons] would like to join.”
The relationship between Beckham and Brady has only grown stronger throughout the years. In 2024, the duo was also spotted spending some gala time beside the Argentinian soccer icon, Lionel Messi, following his signing with Inter Miami F.C.

A few late 2024 reports, including one from “Life & Style,” disclosed that Brady and Beckham were looking to take their friendship to the next level by collaborating for money-making ventures. However, it also suggested that Beckham’s wife, Victoria, wanted to take her family’s relationship with Brady beyond “just business.”
The report detailed how Victoria rated Brady as “one of the most eligible guys on the planet,” following the 47-year-old’s divorce from his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen, in 2022. She also expressed her wish to link Brady up with one of her friends, as she thought Brady had been “single for a long time now.”
However, there has been no significant development so far regarding Brady and Beckham’s joint business venture despite their alleged planning. Neither has Victoria succeeded in her efforts, as the 47-year-old continues to be single.
