David and Victoria Beckham: Jonas Brothers Family Fun
Stepping out for a family affair, David and Victoria Beckham were spotted out with their three sons in Los Angeles, California on Saturday afternoon (May 15).

Meanwhile, recent reports from the Daily Mirror tell that the Beckhams have become quite the art aficionados - as they're said to have amassed a $45 million gallery.
“Victoria is a mover and shaker in more upmarket circles nowadays and likes being a ‘collector’,” an insider tells. “She is even in talks with a museum to showcase some of their pieces – all of which are love tokens, presents David or Victoria gave to each other for birthdays, Christmas and special anniversaries."
The source continues, “One of the works is a Hirst bull’s heart enshrined in silver with scalpels exploding from it. Another, given from David to Victoria for Christmas, is an Emin-designed strip of neon lights spelled out to read ‘Forever yours’. David in particular is a huge patron of provocative British art. As well as purchasing works by the biggest and most famous names in the art world, he is also a keen champion of lesser known, up and coming painters. The Beckhams’ collection — much of it purchased from The White Cube gallery in London — is enough to make any self-respecting art fan green with envy.”
