Pregnant Aussie fitness influencer Laura Henshaw ‘vaguely’ revealed David Beckham had slid into her DMs seven years ago – but it was all very innocent.
The KICPOD host, 32, shared the friendly exchange in a video uploaded to her podcast’s Instagram page, where she showed a censored look at the messages – yet did not specify the exact reason, although it was clear to fans.
Those who have followed Laura closely over the years will know the messages were likely about the work she did with AIA Vitality seven years ago, although one fan pointed out that she seemed to be avading this.
Laura was asked in a video if ‘someone famous’ had ever slid into her DMs. She replied with ‘David Beckham’ and pulled out the proof when asked: ‘Is that true?’
Laura then showed the Instagram messages exchanged between her and the legendary sportsman, 50, who has been married to Victoria Beckham since 1999.

Laura was asked in a video if ‘someone famous’ had ever slid into her DMs. She replied with ‘David Beckham’ and pulled out the proof when her producer asked: ‘Is that true?
She ensured all the messages were censored, so followers couldn’t see what was exchanged between the pair, leaving fans begging for the whole story.
One enraged follower wrote: ‘Are you another opportunistic woman trying to climb up using a successful man’s name?…
‘You should have explained why David Beckham contacted you privately — by keeping the matter vague like this, you know people and the press will interpret it however they want. But maybe that’s exactly what you want.’
Echoing the sentiment, another pointed out the fact that they worked together: ‘they worked together that’s it.’
Others however were more tickled by the situation, writing: ‘Story time on old mate Dave ploise [sic]. We NEED the Beckham tea!…
‘Now I’m curious what did Beckham say to Laura!… Podcast on David Beckham please Laurs… Need to know more on David Beckham!… Surely tell us David story! Leaving us hanging,’ another noted.
The pair are likely to have discussed a business opportunity they took part in together for AIA Vitality.
David has been a global ambassador for the health and wellness brand since 2017, and is often involved with AIA Vitality initiatives.
Laura, as a co-founder of Australian health and fitness app Kic – formerly Keep It Cleaner – was involved with AIA Australia in 2018.

The pair spoke in person and virtually about the initiative and even appeared at an AIA event together in Sydney.

They share children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.
Meanwhile, Laura is expecting her first child with husband Dalton.
