Victoria Beckham celebrated husband David Beckham's 51st birthday in the most iconic way possible, sharing a cheeky snapshot of the former footballer in tiny red speedos during a luxury holiday. The 52-year-old fashion designer took to social media to honour her husband with a selection of throwback photos, including one of David climbing onto a boat in bright red speedos, giving James Bond a run for his money.
A Heartfelt Tribute
Other pictures showed David in his Manchester United days and a childhood photo, alongside glimpses of the couple on various holidays. Victoria captioned the post: 'You are our world, our everything. We love you so much!!! Happy birthday to the best husband, daddy, son, brother, and friend. To the kindest most generous soul. We will spoil you all day!!!! Nobody deserves it more than you xxx.'
On her Instagram story, Victoria was seen planting a kiss on David's cheek as he beamed in front of a cake. She added: 'The first of many celebrations. Happy birthday eve!!!'
Family Celebrations
Their son Romeo Beckham marked the occasion on his own profile with an adorable upload, writing: 'Happy birthday dad, love you so much, thank you for everything you do,' before branding his dad 'my best mate' in a second post. Cruz and Harper have yet to publicly follow suit, while all eyes are on whether Brooklyn Beckham will offer an olive branch after he notably shunned his mother's birthday just last month.
Ongoing Estrangement
Things have been frosty between the family following Brooklyn's bombshell statement earlier this year, in which he called out his parents for 'controlling narratives' in the media. In January, the budding chef, who married Nicola Peltz in 2022, fumed about his 'performative' loved ones, slamming the 'inauthentic relationships' that became 'a fixture of the life I was born into'.
'Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders,' he said. 'Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer.'
Hope for Reconciliation
Despite this, an insider claimed that the couple will 'never give up hope' over a reconciliation. Just days after Brooklyn's statement, David conceded that his kids had 'made mistakes' during an interview about social media and mental health. 'I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media. For the good and for the bad. The bad we've talked about with what kids can access these days, it can be dangerous,' he explained.
'But what I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it for the right reasons. I've been able to use my platform and my following for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what's going on around the world for children.'
'And I have tried to do the same, I've tried to do the same with my children, to educate them. They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids. You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.'
