David Beckham has shared the sweetest video in honour of Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday and we're more than a little bit moved
Victoria Beckham has turned 50 and David Beckham celebrated his “beautiful wife” with a touching montage of family moments.
Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday was hardly going to go unmarked by her nearest and dearest but many fans might be especially overwhelmed by David Beckham’s sweet tribute to his wife of 24 years. Taking to social media on 17th April, the retired football star posted not a single special picture, but a video montage of family moments. Tagging Victoria and their three older children’s Instagram accounts, David wished his “beautiful wife” a happy birthday and expressed immense admiration for all she’s achieved throughout her extraordinary career.
“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 😂,” David wrote adoringly.

The star then went on to reflect upon Victoria’s personal successes as a devoted mother to their children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. He described them as her “biggest success” and how he sees her “guide them, love them & teach them” every day, adding, “They love you beyond words , we all love you so much x”.
If that wasn’t already sweet enough he finished off Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday message,” Have a special day you deserve it all 50 and fit I AM BEING HONEST”.
Alongside his caption was a selection of family photos and videos from across the decades, ranging from a baby photo of Victoria to her as a teenager in a fluorescent dance outfit to, of course, her in her Spice Girls days, and her during her Victoria Beckham fashion shows.

Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham herself shared an equally nostalgic post in honour of her 50th birthday. She shared a selection of snaps from her childhood, starting with a gloriously summery holiday photo of her holding an ice lolly, followed by baby photos and more holiday pictures.
