David Beckham has shared a sweet tribute to his wife Victoria Beckham as she turns 50.
The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham celebrated the milestone on Wednesday, with her husband sharing an early morning Instagram post dedicated to his ‘beautiful wife’.
A video set to the Bee Gees classic More Than A Woman showed clips from Victoria’s life, starting with a childhood video of her oldest children Brooklyn and Romeo wishing her happy birthday.
In between throwback footage of Victoria Beckham during her Spice Girls career and her dancing with her family, David couldn’t resist adding a dig at Victoria’s now infamous Rolls Royce gaffe.
Adding a clip of the ‘be honest’ voice over from his 2023 documentary, David shared a childhood snap of Victoria Beckham and her sister Louise posing with their dad’s Rolls Royce.
The hilarious dig refers back to the viral moment in David’s documentary where Victoria told the cameras that her family were ‘very working, working class’.
David interrupted, incredulous, and asked Victoria to ‘be honest’ to which she replied: ‘I am!’ He then repeatedly asked Victoria to reveal what car her dad used to drive her to school in.
The Spice Girl eventually gave in and said: ‘OK. In the ’80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.’
David also referenced the moment in his sweet caption for the birthday video, writing: ’50 and fit I AM BEING HONEST’.
He added heartfelt words about his wife’s many achievements, writing:
‘Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife… As you head into this birthday you should look back and be proud of what you have accomplished , achieved & what you have built , Posh spice , business woman & of course marrying an England captain.’
‘But your biggest success are your children , you guide them , love them & teach them… They love you beyond words , we all love you so much x’
‘Have a special day you deserve it all 50 and fit I AM BEING HONEST @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven.’
The video showed photos and video clips of Victoria from childhood dance and theatre performances, through her pop career to her fashion designer days.
David also shared throwback photos from the couple’s wedding day in 1999, including one of her posing for photos in her Vera Wang wedding dress.
Her children posted their own Instagram tributes on Wednesday as Romeo thanked his mum ‘for everything’ while eldest son Brooklyn shared a photo of himself as a baby on holiday with his mum.
On the eve of her 50th birthday Victoria shared her own emotional Instagram post.
Posting a photo of herself in a bra and suit from her fashion line, the star shared a lengthy message, thanking David and her four ‘beautiful’ children for their ‘unconditional love and support’ as she reflected on her life.
The Spice Girl declared: ‘As I get ready to step into 50 (in heels, of course!), I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone.’
She went onto gush about her career highlights, saying she was ‘blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content.’
‘Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come.’
‘My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision.’
She added that she was proud of her career trajectory, from pop star to fashion designer, writing: ‘I believe that you can be many things. A pop star, a mother, a wife, a designer…’
‘My passion has always been to dream big, then dream even bigger! Believe in yourself first — everyone else will follow. And if you’re really lucky, you’ll find someone who believes in you even more than you do.’
Thanking David, the star gushed that she was ‘forever grateful for your unconditional love and support, and for our beautiful children.’
‘@BrooklynPeltzBeckham, @RomeoBeckham, @CruzBeckham you complete me. I’m so proud, so in awe of the kind, hard-working, talented individuals you are all becoming.’
Ending her post with a promise that she will continue to strive for for more, Victoria declared: ‘So, here’s to doing more of what I love with the people I love. I’m so thankful for my family, my friends, and my incredible team! This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and I’m only just getting started.’
‘Mummy and daddy, I love you. Kisses Victoria xx’
