David Beckham took us all on a nostalgia tribute as he shared an emotional tribute to his wife Victoria on her 50th birthday.
On Wednesday morning, the former England striker shared a montage of personal family photos and videos, which also included footage from Victoria’s days in the Spice Girls and her fashion career, to commemorate her big day.
The video ended with candid clips of Victoria at home with the couple’s four children, as well as scenes of the A-list couple working out and taking dance lessons together.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful wife,” David wrote. “As you head into this birthday you should look back and be proud of what you have accomplished, achieved and what you have built, Posh Spice, business woman and of course marrying an England captain.
“But your biggest success[es] are your children, you guide them, love them and teach them… they love you beyond words, we all love you so much. Have a special day you deserve it all.”
He concluded: “50 and fit… I AM BEING HONEST.”
“I love you all so much,” Victoria then commented underneath David’s post.
David and Victoria’s eldest children Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz also posted their own special messages on their mum’s 50th.
The couple are also parents to a 12-year-old daughter, Harper, who does not have social media.
Looking ahead to her big day, Victoria wrote on her own Instagram on Tuesday evening: “As I get ready to step into 50 (in heels, of course!), I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone. 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.”
Victoria continued: “I believe that you c an 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.”
“I’m forever grateful for your unconditional love and support, and for our beautiful children,” she told husband David, before addressing their four children by saying: “You complete me. I’m so proud, so in awe of the kind, hard-working, talented individuals you are all becoming.”
David and Victoria have been married since 1999, having begun dating two years earlier.
Interest in the pair skyrocketed last year thanks to David’s hit Netflix documentary, titled simply Beckham, although many viewers conceded that it was actually his wife who wound up stealing every scene she was in.
