Liv Tyler has kept her home life largely out of the spotlight, but in a new post to her Instagram, the actress shared a photo of her two youngest kids, Sailor and Lula Gardner, looking happy in the arms of none other than David Beckham.

"Congratulations to our sweet godfather [David Beckham] for your 1st [Inter Miami CF] win!!! We are so proud of you," she wrote, revealing for the first time that the soccer legend is a godparent to her children. This somewhat surprising connection makes more sense when you know that Tyler's partner, David Gardner, is a longtime friend of Beckham's.
