David Beckham has paid tribute to “the one and only Posh Spice” as his wife Victoria Beckham celebrates her birthday.
The 52-year-old also received birthday wishes on Instagram from two of her sons, Romeo and Cruz.
The fashion designer did not receive any messages or mentions from her eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, with whom she and Sir David have an ongoing family feud.
The couple also have a teenage daughter, Harper, with Lady Beckham reposting a photo of them embracing during a meal to celebrate her birthday on her own Instagram stories.
Former footballer David Beckham also took to his Instagram stories to poke fun at his “working class wife” with a photo of her as a young girl standing in front of a Rolls Royce.
In his main Instagram post, he posted a series of photos of the couple over the years, as well as during her days as a Spice Girl in the 1990s.
“Happy birthday to the one & only Posh Spice,” he wrote.
“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 posted a more recent photo of himself and Victoria Beckham with her arms around him.
“Happy birthday mum. Love you so so much. Have the best day,” he wrote.
Cruz chose to post an image of himself as a toddler being carried in his mother’s arms.
“Happy birthday @victoriabeckham,” he wrote. “I love you. You inspire me every day.”
A message was also left on the Victoria Beckham Beauty Instagram account, saying: “There’s only one @VictoriaBeckham. To our founder and creative director, a very happy birthday.”
Victoria Beckham spoke about the feud with Brooklyn for the first time this week in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
She said she and David Beckham “love our children so much” and have “always tried to be the best parents”.
The high profile couple were accused by Brooklyn of “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding” in a social media post in January, which also saw him allege his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham had been “disrespected” by his family.
Asked about the situation, Victoria Beckham told The Wall Street Journal: “I think that we’ve always – we love our children so much.
“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.”
It comes after social media posts saw Brooklyn add that he did not want to “reconcile” with his family, having accused David Beckham and Victoria Beckham of prioritising “Brand Beckham” over all else and controlling narratives in the press.
Despite the feud, David and Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to wish Brooklyn a happy birthday in March.
