In the closing segment of Tuesday night premier episode, host Ryan Seacrest explained the British football icon is on his way to Gonzales family’s house.

The father of Gonzales family, Victor, was a professional football player in Mexico, but had to give up his dream and take a job in Construction Company to support his family – and they only get to see him once a month because of his work.

Beckham wanted to help the family because his family too came from a working class background, so he wanted to recognize a hard working family similar to his own.
