David Beckham cosied up to Hermès VIP boss Michael Coste in a new snap on Tuesday – after selling his Miami penthouse for a tidy profit.
The former footballer, 50, may well be looking to buy his wife Victoria, 51, a pricey handbag – after making a $4.8 million profit on the sale of the property recently.
In a new Instagram snap shared by Michael, the pair beamed side by side as David looked smart in a denim jacket and jeans while accessorising with a warm hat.
Michael penned in the caption of his post: ‘Trying to look cool next to David Beckham. Still trying.’
Michael joined Hermes in 2006 and is known as the ‘VIP Whisperer’. The brand sells luxury and pricey goods and are most famous for their handbags.
The snap comes after news of the Miami penthouse sale – six years after he purchased the property.

The former footballer, 50, may well be looking to buy his wife Victoria, 51, a pricey handbag – after making a $4.8 million profit on the sale of the property recently
He bought the condo back in 2020 for $19.8 million (£17.15 million) through his London-based company, Beckham Brand Limited.
And according to The New York Post, he has now sold it for a whopping $24.6 million, earning him a tidy $4.8 million profit on his investment.
The sale came after Brooklyn, who is based in the US, severed all ties with his family in his scathing six-page statement last month, where he said he has no wishes to reconcile with his parents and called them ‘controlling and manipulative’.
He also made claims about Victoria’s behaviour at his wedding to wife Nicola Peltz – which singer Marc Anthony finally broke his silence on on Tuesday after performing at the nuptials.
The sprawling property is all the way up on the 59th floor of One Thousand Museum, which at 62 storeys and a height of 215m is one of the tallest buildings in the city.
The residence boasted five bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, ceiling-to-floor windows and spacious balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, as well as Miami’s first private helipad.
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for David for comment.
The eye-catching luxury condo was designed by late star architect Zaha Hadid, who died in Miami in 2016 aged 65, when the tower was built up to about the eighth floor.

The snap comes after news of the Miami penthouse sale – six years after he purchased the property. The lavish pad was used as a base after David launched his Inter Miami football team in 2018
On Tuesday Marc Anthony finally broke his silence on Brooklyn’s recent bombshell statement about his family, insisting the way the feud has played out ‘is hardly the truth’
The lavish pad was used as a base for the Beckham family, after David launched his Inter Miami football team in 2018, with all four of his and Victoria’s children frequently staying there.
But even though he has reportedly now sold the penthouse, the couple still own a $72.25 million (£60 million) mansion in Miami Beach.
Built in 2018, the vast property which overlooks Biscayne Bay, comes with a range of stunning features, including a huge number of bedrooms, four half-bathrooms and a chef’s kitchen.
The mansion also allowed the family to be close to eldest son Brooklyn, after he relocated to the US with his wife Nicola Peltz – whose family owns a sprawling oceanfront estate in Palm Beach.
The aspiring chef, 26, tied the knot with the heiress at the $85.6million, 44,000-square-foot home, which boasts 27 bedrooms, an enormous outdoor pool, tennis courts and a guest house, sitting on a whopping 13-acres of land.
However, relations between the couple and the Beckhams have since soured, and last month Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement publicly disowning his parents and accusing them of trying to break up his relationship with Nicola, 31,
The pair have now embarked on a luxurious life in Los Angeles, reportedly getting a $1million a month allowance from her billionaire father Nelson, 83.
David’s snap with Michael comes amid the drama. And on Tuesday Marc Anthony finally broke his silence on Brooklyn‘s bombshell statement, insisting the way the family feud has played out ‘is hardly the truth’.
The Latin singer, 57, spoke out three weeks after Brooklyn, 26, posted the scathing six-page Instagram statement.
At the centre of Brooklyn’s statement was the allegation that his mum Victoria had ‘hijacked’ his first dance with Nicola at their 2022 wedding when Marc, who was performing during the reception, ‘called me to the stage’.
He went on to claim that his mum ‘danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life’.
On Monday, Marc, who has been friends with David and Victoria for years, spoke out on the drama, describing the ongoing feud as ‘extremely unfortunate’ but adding that the way it has played out ‘is hardly the truth’.
‘I have nothing to say about what’s happening with the family. They’re a wonderful, wonderful family. I’ve known them since before the kids were born. I’m godfather to Cruz,’ the singer explained, referring to Brooklyn’s younger brother, 20.
‘I’m really close to the family,’ he added to in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
‘But I have nothing to say about what happened there. It’s extremely unfortunate how it’s playing out — but [how it’s playing out] is hardly the truth.’
Shared across multiple Instagram stories, Brooklyn claimed his parents had been ‘trying to ruin’ his relationship with Nicola and controlling him ‘for most of my life’.
According to Brooklyn, Marc called him on stage during the wedding and then called for Victoria to come dance with him, stealing the moment that had been carefully planned for Brooklyn and Nicola.
Reports say the singer even invited ‘the most beautiful woman in the room tonight’ to join him, and it wasn’t the bride Nicola, but Posh Spice, leaving guests completely aghast.
Nicola was left devastated by the three-minute dance to a love song performed on stage by Marc, and left the room in tears.
Her family went after Nicola and Brooklyn looked humiliated and also went to find his new wife after the ‘awkward’ dance took place, said DJ Fat Tony who performed at the wedding.
Before Marc spoke out on the claims, Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding DJ Fat Tony placed the blame on the Latin singer.
Tony, a longtime friend of the Beckhams revealed Marc had called Victoria to the dance floor with her son and instructed him, ‘place your hands on your mother’s hips’.
He explained: ‘There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action! The word ‘inappropriate’, why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened.’
‘What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage.
‘Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone’s expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage – and then he says ‘Victoria, come to the stage’.’
He revealed that Brooklyn looked ‘devastated’ at the fact his first dance was with Victoria and not his wife, adding that Nicola left the room ‘crying her eyes out’.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the DJ said at one point Brooklyn’s hands were on his mother’s waist while her arms were placed around his neck.
‘The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom’s moment,’ he told us. ‘It was in the heat of the moment. Brooklyn left right after the dance. Nicola left the room and afterwards he went after her.’
He went on: ‘Brooklyn is a friend of mine. The whole situation is just awful, the way it’s played out so publicly. Families are families, I don’t know what started it. At one point someone might say something publicly.’
Marc spoke out after Brooklyn’s fiery Instagram statement in which he severed ties with his parents (the trio are seen in 2019)
He continued: ‘Brooklyn is upset about a lot of things, sometimes the smallest of things can become the biggest of things, because it highlights it.
‘I’m not speaking bad about either party in it, I’m just putting the narrative straight about the dance.’
From Eva Longoria and Elton John to members of the royal family, the Beckhams have a star-studded circle – and Marc is right in the mix.
He’s been a longtime friend of the family, with David and Victoria reportedly bonding over their love of his music.
The trio often show up for each other at events – like when David surprised Marc during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2023.
David is also godfather to Marc’s son, Marquitos.
