They have made Los Angeles their home, and the Beckhams seem keen for their boys to embrace the American lifestyle. And despite being one of the world's most famous football players, David has been busy ensuring his three sons appreciate some of their adopted country's most loved sports.
He sits front-row with the boys to watch his beloved LA Lakers basketball team play, and has been spotted coaching them in American football.
And this week, Beckham drove for over an hour from his home in Beverly Hills with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz to catch a baseball game at the Anaheim stadium. They were joined by close friend Gordon Ramsay and his ten-year-old son Jack, as well as a bodyguard, to watch the Los Angeles Angels play the Baltimore Orioles.
The VIPs met the team players after the match, and emerged from the stadium with autographed baseballs and giant foam hands.
The enthusiastic fans were decked out head to toe in Angels gear, and even stylish David, 35, who wore a trendy 'Faith of Silence' tee from fashion designer Seven New York, donned a bright red team cap.
Scene-stealer Romeo, seven, led the group out of the Anaheim stadium and despite their team losing 1-0, seemed in great spirits, waving his baseball triumphantly.
His older brother Brooklyn, 11, didn't want to be left out and raced to get to the front of the group, while five-year-old Cruz trailed behind, as chef Gordon waited for him to catch up.
The Ramsays, close friends of the Beckhams, are visiting LA and the families were spotted last week enjoying the sunshine at a £3.2 million Malibu beachfront mansion.
With Romeo's eighth birthday coming up on Wednesday, they could easily have made a stop for some fun at Disneyland, which is located just five kilometres down the road.
Victoria Beckham and Tana Ramsay chose not to join in on the excursion - Victoria has allowed David to drag her along to basketball games in the past, but perhaps her previous affiliation with rival baseball team the LA Dodgers kept her away.
The 36-year-old famously wore high-heeled trainers to throw the opening pitch for the Dodgers shortly after her move stateside move in 2007. It was filmed as part of her reality show Victoria Beckham: Coming to America.
David may be testing his loyalties after a disappointing few months with his first love football.
The injured midfielder looked visibly frustrated watching his team the LA Galaxy from a private sky box days before his ball park outing.
Relegated to the sideline because of his torn Achilles tendon, David hung his head as they were beaten 2-0 by the Kansas City Wizards. His lingering injury, which prevented him from playing in the World Cup, is likely to keep him out of action for most of the season.
Things are looking up back home though, as England boss Fabio Capello seems to have had a change of heart after announcing Beckham's England career was over.
David was said to be 'devastated' by the sudden news, but Capello told the News of the World: 'First Beckham has to be playing again but the door is always open. We're monitoring all the players. Once he recovers and is in really good condition, we will have a chat. I think the future is with the youth but after that, I will decide which players to choose. We know the value of the different older players. The future is with the young players because we have to think about the Euros, but no player is out.'
