Posh and pecks! David Beckham gets an affectionate kiss from Victoria as body language expert reveals how she uses ‘flirt signals to show the world he’s still her man’ during romantic trip

The romantic Mediterranean coastline worked its magic on David and Victoria Beckham on Thursday as they enjoyed another day of island hopping in Spain. 

The couple are back in the Balearics, one of their favoured overseas destinations, for a family holiday with daughter Harper, son Romeo and his DJ girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. 

But amid a packed itinerary the couple still found time for each other after venturing out for a shopping expedition, followed by an early afternoon lunch, in Ibiza as they travel the Med aboard their £16million superyacht. 

Staying shaded beneath a wide-brimmed hat, Victoria, 52, wrapped an arm around her husband’s shoulders while leaning in for an affectionate kiss.  

And according to body language expert Judi James, the former Spice Girl is keen to show the world that her connection to David, 51, remains unbreakable. 

She told the Daily Mail: ‘Craning her head towards her husband with her lips slightly puckered, Victoria attempts to draw his exclusive attention here, even adding a directional ‘framing’ ritual by placing her left hand up near her chin in what appears to be a flirt signal to encourage him to look at her face and maybe even kiss her.

‘Her right hand performs what looks like a projected signal that lets the world know that he is still very much her man.

‘In response David’s right hand is touching her arm but the angle of his torso looks rather stiff… his attention seems to be distracted with his face turned away to the left.’ 

The couple are no strangers to the Balearics, having frequently travelled to Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera for coastal holidays with their children, most recently last October, when the family – minus estranged son Brooklyn – visited Mallorca. 

Their love affair with the area began in the late ’90s, with David and Victoria holidaying in Ibiza ahead of their wedding. 

Following David’s move to Real Madrid in 2003, the couple would frequently enjoy pre-season breaks in Mallorca, and have since returned to the Balearics numerous times with their four children.  

Their latest trip to the Spanish islands comes after the former Spice Girl revealed she is navigating her 50s with a newfound confidence after battling self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy for much of her adult life.

‘I’ve spent most of my life feeling like I’m not good enough, and not liking how I look, and I think the great thing about getting older is I now accept the way I look,’ she said. 

‘And I also don’t think you have to give up just because you’re 50, that doesn’t mean that you have to compromise. You can still look good.’ 

An advocate of health and wellness and a self-confessed early riser, Victoria says her personal exercise regime has increased with age, with the former Spice Girl frequently starting the day in her home gym. 

‘I don’t do anything differently now, with regards to my workout. In fact, I do more now than what I was doing when I was 20, and 30.

‘So just because you get older it doesn’t mean you’re limited to what you can do, you know? You can achieve great things as you get older.’

She told the Beauty Desk podcast: ‘Looking great and feeling our best really does start with the fundamental basics, just looking after yourself, respecting yourself, making sure you’re drinking enough water, making sure that you’re sleeping enough, and working out, and eating as healthily as you can. Those basic things are so important.’

Victoria also revealed that she is open to selling her fashion label.

The brand, founded in 2008, was reported to have debts of £53.9million in 2022, but while sales rose to £112.7million in 2024, the former Spice Girl revealed she would ‘never say never’ to selling.

‘I would never say never and I like to look at opportunities’, she told the Financial Times. ‘But at the moment I am looking at growth but I would never say never.’

Victoria continued: ‘I’m very excited, this is breaking news, my store in London is showing there is an appetite so we are about to open in New York and Miami.

‘For me until I open the store in NY and Miami, I have been reliant on online but I want to be able to control the experience from the client walking in the store.

‘The next step is retail expansion and we will see where it goes next. I’m very lucky. 

‘I’m building a legacy brand there are categories I haven’t entered yet so we see a big opportunity and we spent a long time fixing and now it’s time for growth. I want to build the house.’

Harper is said to be launching a beauty range aimed at Gen Z and Gen Alpha, inspired by South Korean cosmetics, this summer. Read the full story here.

In October, it was revealed the Beckhams had trademarked the name HIKU BY Harper in the UK, paving the way for the beauty line’s debut.

However, the teenager is said to have suffered a blow to her plans after she was denied naming rights in the US, according to reports.

The US Patent and Trademark Office issued an ‘initial refusal’ to the name as it could be confused with existing companies.

The denial came as ‘Harper’ is registered for brooms and scrubbing brushes, while ‘Hiku’ is trademarked for toiletry and fragrance products, according to The Sun.

The Beckhams applied for the trademark in November and now have six months to appeal the initial decision.

They planned for the name to be trademarked on make-up, acne skincare, footwear, clothing, keyrings, stickers, hair decorations and brushes.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for further comment.
