David Beckham's father Ted has reportedly embarked on a romance with multi-millionaire lawyer Hilary Meredith, 17 years after he divorced his wife of 32 years, Sandra. 

The former kitchen fitter, 70, is said to have fallen for the lobbyist, 60, after the pair met at ex-services care home Broughton House in Manchester back in April. 

Taking their 'whirlwind' relationship to the next level, the famous sportsman's dad joined new girlfriend Hilary at her Majorca villa for her 60th birthday on Saturday.

'We haven’t seen her so happy for a long long time', A source close to Hilary told The Sun Online

'It’s been a bit of a whirlwind romance to say the least. They have been seeing each other for a few weeks. It’s all so exciting.

'Hilary throws great parties so we’re all a bit giddy at the prospect of Victoria and David getting an invite to be there', they added.  

MailOnline has contacted David and Victoria Beckham's representatives for further comment.

Ted and his former partner Sandra married in autumn 1969 and share three children; Lynne, 47, David, 44, and Joanne, 37. 

Following over three decades of marriage, the pair split in 2002, during the last months of footballer David's Manchester United career.  

In an interview with The Mirror back in 2005, Ted admitted his children were affected by his split.  

He shared at the time: 'David has spoken about how hard our splitting up was for him - it was tough for all our children.

'I know they were all pretty much grown up by the time we got divorced but it was still a heck of a shock for them. 

'We'd been married for 33 years and had simply drifted apart. Just about the only thing we had in common was football.'

Meanwhile, David and his Spice Girl wife Victoria, 45, celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.

The power couple marked their milestone with a very romantic champagne-filled private tour of the Palace Of Versailles.

In a slew of snaps from the occasion, the pair were the picture of happiness as the Spice Girls singer hearkened back to her wedding with a bridal-white midi dress.

The Palace of Versailles was the main royal residence of the French monarchy from Louis XIV's reign in 1682 until the start of the French Revolution in 1789, under Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. 

David and Victoria share four children together; Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 14, and Harper, eight.
