After exciting weeks surrounding the FIFA World Cup, David (51) and Victoria Beckham (52) are treating themselves to a relaxing break. The couple was spotted on a joint vacation off the coast of Ibiza - aboard their luxury yacht, the two enjoyed sun, sea and tranquility.

Photos available to the Mirror show the former soccer star in good spirits wearing dark blue swim shorts and enjoying a well-deserved cool-down in the water. Afterward, Beckham relaxed on a sun lounger with a book in hand. In between, he gazed across the sea with binoculars.

Time off after five weeks of World Cup

David Beckham had been traveling throughout the United States in recent weeks to attend several World Cup matches. As a former England national team captain and owner of soccer club Inter Miami CF, he followed the tournament with special interest. He was accompanied by three of his children and their partners at some games.

Victoria Beckham was also present at the World Cup. After the final, the 52-year-old expressed her enthusiasm on Instagram about the joint soccer journey with her husband. After the intensive weeks, the former Spice Girls singer now seemed to be enjoying the peace on the water. With a baseball cap and sunglasses, she relaxed beside David and read a book.

Viral moment during the World Cup

During the tournament, Victoria Beckham herself had become a viral topic of conversation. A video of her seemingly completely calm reaction to England's victory against Norway generated numerous comments on social media. While her family cheered, she initially remained quietly seated.

David Beckham defended his wife on social media, saying: She was celebrating on the inside, I promise. Her reactions were a little slower than mine.
