Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham have praised their daughter Harper on her birthday.

The youngest child – and only daughter – of the retired footballer and Spice Girl – turned 15 on Friday.

Sir David’s photos showed him holding Harper as a baby, as well as more recent ones dancing with her.

“My Pretty Lady is turning 15 today. You are the perfect daughter, sweet, kind and a beautiful human with the best personality just like daddy,” he wrote.

“We love you so much and we are all so lucky to have you in our lives. Have the best day ever @harperbeckham.”

He then tagged his wife and commented: “Thank you.”

Lady Beckham shared a similar post a few minutes later, writing: “I cannot even begin to express how much I love and adore you and how incredibly proud I am to be your mummy – it has been the greatest joy to see you blossom into a young lady.

“You are a kind, gentle, funny and beautiful soul, inside and out! You are my best friend, and you inspire me every day!! I love you more than I could ever put into words and I am so grateful to be your mummy! Happy Birthday.”

Her post showed photos Harper throughout the years, including one of them sleeping in bed together.

Harper’s older brother Romeo Beckham also shared a photo of them when Harper was a toddler and wrote: “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful person in the world I love you so much.”

He then posted a recent selfie of them together.

The Beckhams started dating in 1997 after meeting at a charity football match. They were engaged the following year and were married in 1999.

They have four children – sons, Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, as well as Harper.

However, over the past year, they have faced a public falling out with their eldest son, who in January shared a statement on social media accusing his parents of trying to “control” him and also “ruin his relationship” with wife Nicola Peltz, 31.

He also alleged that his family had “disrespected” his wife.

Although the Beckhams have tried several times to extend a public olive branch to their son, mainly on social media, he has ignored them.

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Lady Beckham addressed the feud for the first time and said she and Sir David “love our children so much” and have “always tried to be the best parents”.

In 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola shared a throwback snap with Harper for her birthday, writing, ‘Happy birthday harper we love u x’.
