David Beckham marked his wife Victoria’s 52nd birthday on Friday with a gushing tribute as he shared the moment he fell in love with her, as well as mocking her viral Rolls-Royce moment.
The former footballer, 50, took to Instagram to share a collection of meaningful and humorous throwback snaps of Posh Spice.
David posted a picture of Victoria from the Spice Girls’ 1996 Say You’ll Be There music video – the first time she caught his eye and he fell in love with her. She donned a skintight black PVC outfit for the shoot.
He went on to share adorable snaps of Posh Spice when she was a little girl, including of her beside her father’s viral Rolls Royce.
During his 2023 Netflix documentary a scene between the pair went viral as Victoria discussed her working class roots to producers.
David interrupted, incredulous, and repeatedly asked Victoria to reveal what car her dad used to drive her to school in – which she eventually said was a Rolls-Royce.
His thoughtful post continued with a capture of his wife posing with her parents Tony and Jackie Adams.
David also reshared a honeymoon snap of them looking loved up in 1999 as they jetted off to the South of France.
He ended his poignant post by writing to the mother-of-four: ‘Happy Birthday to the one & only Posh Spice we love you so much and we will make sure you have the most special day because as the best Wife, Mum, friend & of course gym partner you deserve too. Happy Birthday We Love You.’
Romeo was the first of Victoria’s offspring to take to social media to celebrate her day with a gushing tribute.
Sharing a snap of them both, Romeo penned: ‘Happy Birthday mum love you so so much have the best day @victoriabeckham.’
He also shared a picture of them together watching Sir David at one of his football matches when he was a young boy.
While Cruz has yet to share his own tribute, his girlfriend Jackie Apostel posted: ‘Haaaaapy birthday @victoriabeckham.
‘Thank you for raising my favourite human in the whole world. How lucky are we to be surrounded by your kindness and inspired by your spirit everyday. Love u!!!!’
Victoria’s fellow Spice Girl Mel B also shared a tribute, writing: ‘My darling Vic Happy Birthday Soooooooo much LUV!!!!’
Meanwhile, her company also made sure to mark her day, sharing a clip of her alongside the caption: ‘There’s only one @VictoriaBeckham. To our Founder and Creative Director, a very happy birthday.’
Kim Turnbull, Romeo’s girlfriend, said: ‘Happy birthday @victoriabeckham. Thank you for the constant laughs and everything you do we [love] you.
Days before her birthday, Victoria addressed her eldest son Brooklyn’s estrangement from the family.
She insisted that she and husband David have always ‘tried to protect and love our children’.
The Spice Girl was asked about her relationship with Brooklyn in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Whilst the magazine says ‘she does not reply with his name,’ the mother of four, 51, has, for the first time, spoken directly about their ongoing feud.
‘I think that we’ve always — we love our children so much’, she said. ‘We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be.
‘And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it’.
Brooklyn, 27, cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of ‘controlling him for most of his life’.
