Now that David Beckham has retired from professional soccer, he has more time to devote to his pals.

The athlete spent some quality time with his friends yesterday while eating dinner at Maison in New York City. David, who opted for his usual T-shirt and faded jeans combo, looked smoldering, like always.

Rumors have recently swirled that the soccer phenomenon is shopping around for a Major League Soccer franchise. Although he ended his career by playing for Paris Saint-Germain, he had an option in his L.A. Galaxy contract to purchase an MLS franchise for $25 million. However, New York is the only city that's off limits to Becks so he wasn't doing business during this most recent trip there. Instead, he's been eyeing Miami.

The stud has also been spending his off time at sporting events, including Miami Heat and Kings playoff games.

David and Victoria Beckham's youngest sons Cruz and Romeo spent Saturday at the skate park with their manny and bodyguard, and it looks like the boys had a blast practicing their kick flips and other tricks. A while back Cruz took quite a tumble at the park, and now it looks like he's almost able to keep up with his older bro -- who knew Becks' kids were little Tony Hawks in training?!

Later on we snapped the boys reuniting with their other nanny who was carrying little miss Harper:

Such a cutie!

On Tuesday David Beckham took his three sons and some of their pals to a local ice cream parlor in Hollywood, and while mom Victoria may be a health food lover, looks like daddy Becks is more from the school of Brangelina!

In other news, David was rumored to be buying a stake in the Los Angeles Galaxy, and we haven't heard an update on that business deal since the soccer stud announced his retirement this month. As part of his original contract with Major League Soccer, Beckham had the right to purchase an MLS franchise at a reduced rate, so will he become a part owner of his former team and come back to Los Angeles with Posh and the fam, or will they be living in London?

She's almost cracking a smile!

Victoria Beckham decided to retweet an old picture of herself and husband David in the Maldives following her footballer beau's announcement that he is retiring from the sport after this season.

"Thank you for all your lovely messages, we are so proud of you David x vb," she captioned the sweet snapshot.

"Over the years, when I've seen players retire, when you ask them about it, they always say you'll know when you're ready and I think I know when I'm ready. I think I'm ready. Obviously it's a difficult decision because I still feel that I can play at the top level," the British hunk told reporters regarding his decision.

Time to let Vicky B be the breadwinner with her fashion label!

David Beckham is calling it quits.

The all-star athlete is ending his 20-year soccer career and retiring form the sport after season's end. He has two games left in the current season with Paris St.-Germain.

The 38-year-old English midfielder has won Premier League titles in four countries. He's playing his final season for P.S.G. He signed a five-month contract with the French team at the beginning of the year and is donating his entire estimated $4.6 million salary to a local children's charity.

He has also competed for England with Manchester United (where the spent 10 years -- the majority of his career), Spain with Real Madrid, and America with Los Angeles Galaxy.

In a statement about his decision, Beckham said he was thankful to P.S.G. for giving him the opportunity to continue his career.

"I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level," he said.

Beckham, who's married to fashion designer Victoria Beckham, has had marketing campaigns with Adidas, Brylcreem, Pepsi, H&M, and Sainsbury's. Rumors have recently surfaced that he's interested in Major League Soccer club ownership.

"If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times, and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy," he also said in the statement. "I'm fortunate to have realized those dreams."

English Football Association chairman David Bernstein told Sports Illustrated that Beckham's retirement is a "loss to the game."

"He is an iconic figure in the game and produced wonderful performances for his clubs, particularly Manchester United,'' Bernstein said. "When you look at his playing and work for England, no one would ever accuse him of being unpatriotic and not giving everything for his country."

He's giving Kim Kardashian a run for her money!

David Beckham made an appearance at the Adidas store in Paris yesterday, and we can barely keep track of all his promotional duties!

The soccer stud was all smiles as he chatted with fans and signed autographs. Why wouldn't he be? He's probably taking home a pretty hefty paycheck for endorsing the athletic company.

In more D-Becks endorsement news, the British hunk has been accused of using a body double for portions of his H&M ad, but he clarified the truth on French television show Le Grand Journal last night.

"No, I can say the crotch is mine and the backside is mine as well. I heard this the other day. Someone said that I had a stand-in for my bum, but no, I can confirm that that's my bum," she explained.

Victoria Beckahm is one lucky lady!
