Fans and celebrities flocked to the couple\u2019s Instagram, including Beckham himself, who is the godfather to Gardner\u2019s two children.<\/p>\n

Beckham <\/a>was not the only celebrity to chime in, with Jamie Winstone and Rita Ora also posting. <\/p>\n

The football star and Gardner have known each other since they were 14, as reported by the Daily Mail, after meeting on the Manchester United Youth team. <\/p>\n

Gardener\u2019s enduring friendship with Beckham resulted in an invitation to a \u201cfind yourself\u201d lads\u2019 holiday to Brazil in 2014.<\/p>\n

While Gardner did not make the Manchester United squad, he set up the Elite Sports Agency with Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s son, Jason Ferguson, in 2001. <\/p>\n

Previously, Gardner had been in a relationship with Liv Tyler, who is the mother of his two daughters.<\/p>\n

He and Tyler, 48, were engaged and share custody of Sailor Gene, 10, and Lula Rose, 9.<\/p>\n

Gardner also shares a son, Grey, 18, with his ex-wife, Davinia Taylor. <\/p>\n

Gardner has dated some of the most famous women in the world, including Kate Moss, Taylor, Tyler and Ora.<\/p>\n

Clarke, who is from Palmerston North, shot to international fame after becoming the first Kiwi to join Victoria\u2019s Secret catalogue of models in 2011.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Clarke co-founded Mother Made<\/a>, alongside her long-time best friend and fellow entrepreneur, Emily Blanchett.<\/p>\n

The duo are leading the charge for medicinal mushrooms in Aotearoa, offering a range of mushroom-focused wellness powders and supplements.<\/p>\n

Clarke moved to New York City at 17 and has since been photographed by some of the world\u2019s top fashion photographers, featured in numerous fashion campaigns and appeared in high-profile magazine editorials.<\/p>\n

In a 2018 NZME Viva <\/a>article, the Victoria\u2019s Secret Model said the rise to international stardom was \u201csuch a mad experience\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really important for me as it established me in the industry. However, I\u2019m a bit of a weirdo. I get quite shy talking about stuff I\u2019ve done in modelling. I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019ve only posted one picture from it on my social media!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gardner and Clarke also enjoyed a holiday to the Greek Islands, where they can be seen embracing one another.<\/p>\n

Before the Greek holiday, the two visited the Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios, Orlando.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a massive Harry Potter fan if you can\u2019t tell. The Hagrid rollercoaster in Hogsmeade and Raptor Rollercoaster in Jurassic Park are hands down the best rides,\u201d Clarke said in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n

The duo also celebrated birthdays and attended black tie galas together, according to Clarke\u2019s Instagram.<\/p>\n
