David Beckham has congratulated his son Brooklyn for popping the question to Nicola Peltz in an emotional Instagram post.

The former England football captain shared a photo of the young couple embracing on his profile, with the caption: "Congratulations to these two beautiful people.

"As they begin this exciting journey together we are so so happy for you guys."

Brooklyn, 21, announced his engagement to the US actress on Saturday afternoon.

Posting a photo of himself and Ms Peltz, he wrote: “Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes. I am the luckiest man in the world.

“I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day. I love you baby.”

Ms Peltz, 25, shared the same picture on her own account, hinting that it had been taken by Beckham’s nine-year-old sister Harper.

She wrote: “You’ve made me the luckiest girl in the world. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side. Your love is the most precious gift.

“I love you so so much baby and thank you harper for this pic.”
