David Beckhamshowed off his neck tattoos and a whole new look to adorn the cover ofLovemagazine.
Posing in front of a hot-pink and red backdrop, the soccer star, 43, sported a white blazer and a beige, pin-striped button-down for the photo shoot and jazzed up an otherwise understated ensemble with turquoise eyeliner. In the shot, he looked off camera so the birds, flowers and script inked on his neck are clearly visible.
The magazine revealed that its upcoming issue, out Tuesday, tells the story of how the father of four balanced his confidence on the field with his struggle to feel at ease when he wasn’t kicking a ball around.

“From the very first time he set foot on the field,@davidbeckhamknew he wanted to be a football player. ‘That’s how my career started and that is where I felt most at ease, most confident and happiest. I turned into a totally different person. Once I was on the field I knew that was what I could do best,’ ” explains the caption of an Instagram of the cover shared toLove‘s account.
“While his confidence came easily on the pitch, off the pitch was a different story,” it continues. “David Beckham is our#LOVE20.5 cover star, a catalogue of pictures from our first moving image issue –#movingLOVE.”
