David Beckham has "changed", the former football star confessed, as he shared a rare garden tour of his Cotswolds garden on Saturday, updating fans about his flock of chickens and his vegetable patch, where he grows kale.
In a jokey exchange via Instagram, David cheekily called out his wife Victoria, writing: "My kale is doing well. I can hear my East End mates going: 'He has changed'. My wife said shorten the video down but obviously didn't listen so I'm sorry..."
David also shared a sweet inside look at his family life at home, revealing that the flowers he grows in their garden are also used in the house.
The footballer continued: "My content used to be motorbikes and camping, now it's kale, honey and flowers for the house. Might have to get back on the road soon."
Meanwhile, Victoria commented on the post: "Who is this man?!? Give me my husband back," accompanied by several laughing emojis.

Victoria responded, by resharing the post on her own account, quipping: "It only took him two years to action the hairnets! (Now he is making fresh apple juice)."

The tour finished with some impressive kale plants, red cabbage. "We have a lot of potatoes," the Inter Miami co-owner told fans. "Today, I'm going to make crisps, because I'm a savory person not sweet."

Clearly comfortable with countryside life, David wore his signature flat cap and a checked shirt to do the morning rounds.
The couple bought the farmhouse in 2016 and have completed extensive renovations. In addition to the sprawling garden, the Beckhams' home comes complete with a sauna, a plunge pool, a walled garden, a football pitch, a gym, a swimming pool, a £50,000 BBQ tent and a man-made lake that cost £200,000 to construct.
