Legends only: Michael Jordan, David Beckham link up in Ibiza

When it comes to athletes' summer vacations, you never know where people will turn up -- or who they'll be accompanied by.

>One of the more unexpected pairings of summer 2026? David Beckham and Michael Jordan linking up in Ibiza, Spain.

>The two sporting icons were joined by their respective wives (and in Beckham's case, his son Romeo and his girlfriend) for the lunch meetup, where the duo was seen embracing.

>As for conversation topics between the two, it's anyone's guess. But the two share more in common than being legends of their sports. Both have moved into ownership in their post-playing days, with Jordan having a minority stake in the Charlotte Hornets and co-owning NASCAR's 23XI Racing while Beckham has ownership stakes in both Inter Miami and Salford City FC.

>Beckham has previously spoken about idolizing Jordan during his own playing days on the pitch.

>"Even though he was sat at a table with Madonna and a couple of others, I was looking straight at him," Beckham once recalled of a restaurant meeting. "Victoria just nudged my leg and said 'stop embarrassing me.'"
