David, Victoria Beckham enjoy dinner with Lionel Messi, Antonela Roccuzzo
David and Victoria Beckham had a photo-worthy night out on the town with Inter Miami CF’s new star.
The couple dined with Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo on Thursday at Miami’s Gekko, a noted celebrity dining hot spot where a ribeye steak costs $1,200 and is co-owned by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and restaurateur David Grutman.
Victoria shared two photos from the memorable night on Friday in an Instagram post, featuring a full group shot of the couples, along with Grutman and his wife Isabela Grutman, Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets and his girlfriend Elena Galera and Miami’s co-owner Jorge Mas and his wife Aleyda Mas.
The other photo included the smiling faces of David Beckham, Busquets and Messi huddled together.

The star-studded group was greeted by fans and paparazzi surrounding the restaurant as they left late Thursday night.
Gekko, a Japanese steakhouse featuring a sushi bar, was founded by Bad Bunny and Grutman in the summer of 2022 and is located in Miami’s Brickell area because “the culture reminds me of home,” Bad Bunny explained to Food and Wine when the place opened.
The arrival of Messi has been the talk of the town in Miami after he won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina in a dramatic finale against France.
He recently signed with Inter Miami CF, which David Beckham co-owns.
Messi made his dazzling debut on July 21, which was highlighted by a game-winning free kick to top off the 2-1 win over Cruz Azul in a Leagues Cup game.

“What I saw was the goal. I saw the goal, I knew that I had to score,” Messi said on Apple TV+ after the game. “It was the last play of the game and I wanted to score so we didn’t go to penalties. So it was very important for us to get this win. Because it’s a new tournament, this is going to give us confidence moving forward.”
However, his second Inter Miami game outshined his MLS debut, as he scored two goals within the first 22 minutes of the 4-0 win against Atlanta United FC.
