David Beckham is a proud dog dad.
On Wednesday, the former professional footballer, 48, took to his Instagram Story to share some cute clips of him playing with the family’s fluffy cockatoo, Simba.
David whistled to the dog in one clip, as the dog lay against his head and snuggled up to him. “Simba,” the star captioned the post with three orange hearts and a smiley face emoticon.

“Simba? What is it?” David said as he tried to get the puppy’s attention in the first video.
The next shot shows the dog again by his head, before he lies down and rests his paws on his face. To round off his sweet posts, David shared an adorable photo of Simba looking into the camera.

The Beckhams welcomed Simba into their family in June 2022. The pup joins their other dogs Figo, Sage, Olive and Logan.
Shortly after welcoming Simba, Victoria Beckham shared a sweet post on Instagram to mark National Dog Day, showing David and their children Harper, 12, and Romeo, 21, posing with the pooch.
Among the many posts about the Beckhams’ pets over the years, David was seen trying to teach the family dog, Figo, how to high-five in a video from 2021.

In the video, David kneels shirtless on the kitchen floor and tells Figo, “Give me your paw.” The English Cocker Spaniel obeyed, earning a treat from the athlete before jumping up for more.
“All we’re doing in quarantine is high-fiving and eating #figLovesHighFives,” David wrote in the caption at the time.
In addition to posts of appreciation for the dogs, David and Victoria also regularly share romantic snaps on social media. It’s been almost 25 years since the couple got married, and they’re still smitten with each other.
On Valentine’s Day, David posted a picture of the couple kissing by the sea at sunset and wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day to an amazing wife, mom and best friend. I love you.”
“… I mean ‘I just liked her,'” he continued in the caption, quoting his own line about Victoria from his Netflix docu-series Beckhampublished last year.
