Becks, 45, took to social media on Monday to share with his 65.6million followers a picture of a custom-made motorbike helmet, writing: “Custom Joe King MIAMI BABY.”
Becks’ new Miami pad can be seen in the refelction – and some eagle-eyed viewers reckon they can see a photo of the ex-Manchester United and England star hanging on the wall.
If you look really closely, it appears to be a grey-scale image taken during one of his short-hair eras – and Victoria is clearly a fan.
But she may not be so happy about her hubby inadvertently showing off their new home.
The Beckhams bought the Florida apartment last year with David helping to run his new MLS team, Inter Miami.
But they have been particularly secretive about it, rarely giving a glimpse of what it looks like inside.
Now, though, fans may have spotted the all-important details – the pink dining table chairs and white ceiling lamps.
As revealed by The Sun, the 10,000sq ft, five-bed property in the One Thousand Museum high-rise features its own helipad, luxury pool and gym.

The luxury block, which is 700ft tall, was designed by the late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, who was behind the 2012 Olympics Aquatic Centre in Stratford, East London.
Becks’ pad has no fewer than seven toilets, a ‘bank-quality vault’ and is a short drive from the Inter Miami base.
And the former Three Lions captain can now take the motorbike to Phil Neville’s training or MLS matches wearing his new helmet.
Beckham tagged Joe King Speed Shop in his post and they shared extra details on Instagram.
Derek White was the brains behind the design, with black and pink used to reflect Inter’s colours – and finished off with the club badge.
The company wrote: “What an amazing privilege to make this custom helmet for David Beckham.
“The design made by Derek White turned out fantastic and I hope we’ve done justice to it.
“I love this colour combo and it was a blast making this project. Thank you David and Derek!”

Sturridge, 31, is a free agent after leaving Turkish team Trabzonspor last year.
And Daily Mail report that American sides Inter Miami and DC United are trying to sign the striker.
Sturridge had spells at Man City and Chelsea before making his mark with Liverpool.
He formed a lethal strike partnership with Luis Suarez before injuries thwarted his career.
The striker spent six years at Anfield before moving to Trabzonspor in 2019.
But the former England forward has been a free agent since March.
Franchise owner Beckham appointed Phil Neville as Inter Miami boss in January.
Left-back Kieran Gibbs has already agreed to join the MLS team in the summer.

Meanwhile, SunSport reported last month that hotshot Mitchell Curry is swapping Sunderland for America to join Beckham’s Inter Miami.
The 21-year-old striker is out of contract at the Stadium of Light in June but has sealed an early exit to head to the MLS.
Curry will initially link up with Inter’s B team Fort Lauderdale CF.
They compete in the USL League One, the third tier in the American football pyramid.

And that is where his development will be monitored closely by both the Manchester United legends over the upcoming campaign, which kicks-off next month.
Curry will be the second Englishman to arrive since Neville took charge ahead of the 2021 campaign – which kicks off next month.
Stoke City legend Ryan Shawcross has already landed at Inter as Goldenballs and P Nev look to mount a challenge for the Eastern Conference and seal a place in the MLS Cup play-offs.

DAVID BECKHAM’S Inter Miami are being investigated by MLS for ‘violating the salary budget’ by signing Blaise Matuidi.
The Frenchman joined the new Florida-based franchise on a free transfer from Juventus last August.

But Major League Soccer confirmed they are looking into the deal to determine whether Becks’ club broke the league’s regulations.
A statement released on Friday read: “Major League Soccer has begun a formal review of Inter Miami CF’s signing of midfielder Blaise Matuidi, specifically investigating whether the signing of the player complied with Major League Soccer’s salary budget and roster guidelines.
“MLS will not make further comment until the completion of its investigation.”
The club said they intended to engage with the league’s review process.

Inter Miami joined the Eastern Conference for the first time last year.
There are strict, specific limitations in place for salary caps and squads – as detailed in the roster rules released in March 2020.
The overall salary budget for the first 20 players in the squad was £3.55million – although that could instead be split across 18 players if the club preferred.
Each MLS team is allowed two high-priced ‘designated’ players who exceed the £443,434 maximum budget charge (£221,717 if signed in the summer transfer window) – plus a third if there was a £108,600 payment to the league split among other teams.

Each team could use £1.1m in general allocation money to buy down a player’s salary budget charge, and £2m in targeted allocation money to sign new players whose salary and signing costs were above the maximum salary charge, or to convert a designated player to a non-designated player.
Inter Miami confirmed ex-Chelsea striker Gonzalo Higuain and Mexican Rodolfo Pizarra are designated players while Argentine midfielder Matias Pellegrini joined as a younger designated player.
Matuidi, however, was not announced as a designated player – but instead the Herons said they used targeted allocation money to fund his move Stateside.
The 33-year-old won three league titles at Juve and four with Paris Saint-Germain – he was also a member of France’s World Cup-winning squad in 2018.
Miami finished tenth out of 14 teams in their debut Eastern Conference campaign in 2020 then lost to Nashville 3-0 in the first round of the play-offs.
Beckham, who is president and a co-owner, brought in former Manchester United team-mate and England Women’s head coach Phil Neville as the new manager during the off-season.

FORMER Barcelona and Stoke star Bojan Krkic is in talks with a number of Indian Super League clubs, reports claim.
The attacker left the Potters in 2019, joining MLS side Montreal Impact, now known as CF Montreal.

But following Thierry Henry’s appointment, the Impact opted against renewing Bojan’s contract in December, leaving the former Spanish international free to join a new club.
And after previously swapping Europe for North America, Bojan could now be taking his talents to Asia.
According to Transfermarkt, a number of Indian clubs are interested, with Kerala Blasters and Hyderabad FC the most serious contenders.
A source told them: “Bojan’s agent has held talks with many clubs but Kerala and Hyderabad have shown utmost seriousness.

“I can say that Hyderabad has got an edge because of their Barcelona connections through their former coach Albert Roca.”
Roca, 58, was manager of Hyderabad last year, before joining Ronald Koeman’s backroom staff in Catalonia.
He previously worked with Bojan at his boyhood club, having been assistant to Frank Rijkaard between 2003 and 2008 as the youngster came through at La Masia.
Bojan’s salary is expected to far exceed Indian Super League standards, but he has admitted in the past that money isn’t his priority.

He told ESPN last year: “For me, money is not the most important thing. For me, to be in the best team in the world is not the most important thing.”
After debuting aged just 17, Bojan made 163 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 41 goals in the process.
Following spells with Roma, AC Milan and Ajax, Bojan joined Stoke in 2014.
The two-time Champions League winner became a popular figure at the Bet365 Stadium, before injuries curtailed his career in the Potteries.
Overall he made 85 appearances for Stoke, between loan spells at Mainz and Alaves, before joining Montreal in 2019.

DAVID BECKHAM was ‘like a kid on first day back at school’ as Inter Miami began pre-season training under new boss Phil Neville.
The former England and Manchester United defender has taken the reins of his ex-team mate’s MLS team after leaving his job with England Women.

After swooping to sign Ryan Shawcross from Stoke City last month, Neville got to work with the rest of his new squad today as pre-season got underway.
And Goldenballs was also there to watch, sharing a photo on Instagram and captioning it with: “Like the first day back at school today @intermiamicf .. Fresh start and excited to get this season started .. Pre Season day 1.”
The two Class of ‘92 stars came through the ranks under the guidance and genius of Sir Alex Ferguson, who helped create an unforgettable, trophy-laden dynasty at United.
Fergie’s attention to detail and thirst for winning has rubbed off on his former players — and Neville has already declared he wants to create something similar with Inter Miami.

He said: “When you talk about the Manchester United DNA, it’s the DNA of the most successful businesses and people in the world.
“I have been talking to David’s co-owner, Jorge Mas, about the values of his own company — and they are the same values Sir Alex Ferguson had and Manchester United have.
“All the best teams have it. There are great parallels in the way we want to promote our young players and give them opportunities, creating a style and behaviour that is the best.”
And Beckham revealed last week his huge plans for the club as he dreams of unleashing the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at Inter Miami.

Both Messi and Ronaldo fancy ending their careers Stateside and the former England captain said: “I have said from day one that our academy system is a massive part of this club and if we can bring players through here that have lived and breathed Inter Miami then that is the goal.
“But we also know that being in Miami, our fans want to see the big stars.
“We already have players like Gonzalo Higuain and Blaise Matuidi who add to the glitz and glamour but also going forward we want to have the opportunity to bring some great names in.
“Leo and Cristiano have been mentioned (in the question just asked), they have been at the top of their game and been the best for the last 15 years because of hard work. There is very little luck behind it.
“Sir Alex Ferguson was the master at choosing the right player, he didn’t always bring the best player in the world, he brought the right player for the club and that is one of the things that I have taken into this place.
“Inter are also believed to be in talks with West Bromwich Albion full-back Kieran Gibbs over a transfer to the US.

NEWCASTLE midfielder Kyle Scott has travelled to the US to try to win a move to FC Cincinnati.
The ex-Chelsea kid, 23, joined Toon on a two-year deal for free at the start of last season.

But the move has not worked out with Scott failing to make a single Magpies appearance.
Cincinnati boss Jaap Stam is keen on taking him Stateside though and has invited the Bath-born youngster over.
Scott will train with the MLS outfit to assess his fitness, with the hope of earning a move ahead of the new season.
The midfielder was part of an incredibly successful youth team at Chelsea, winning three consecutive FA Youth Cups and two Uefa Youth Leagues between 2013 and 2016.

During these years, Scott played alongside the likes of Andreas Christensen, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount.
But his own Chelsea career didn’t quite take off as those esteemed others did.
Scott did manage one first-team outing for the Blues, however, playing 28 minutes of an FA Cup victory over Hull City under Antonio Conte in 2018.
That was to be his only outing for his boyhood club, as he was released a year later.

Injuries curtailed his final year at Stamford Bridge, and continued to plague him as he made the move north to Tyneside.
The Bath-born player, who has played youth football for England, Ireland and most recently the United States, has made just four appearances in the PL2 for Newcastle’s Under-23s this season.
His only other senior experience came while on loan at Telstar in the Dutch second tier in 2018 – making 14 appearances and scoring twice.
