David Beckham shares gushing birthday tribute to Victoria Beckham as Mel C makes a Spice Girl dig

David Beckham marked wife Victoria Beckham’s birthday with a throwback snap of him gently kissing her nose alongside a gushing caption.

Footballer Beckham, 47, wished his wife, who turned 49 on Monday, “the most perfect day”, sharing the black and white photo from their respective Manchester United, Spice Girls heyday.

He wrote: “Happy Birthday to the most amazing wife and mummy x someone who inspires us every single day.

“We love you and you deserve to have the most perfect day.”

The fashion designer was flooded with birthday wishes under Beckham’s post, and also received tributes from son Romeo and fellow Spice Girl, Mel C.

Romeo, 20, posted a candid photo of him and his famous mother looking makeup-free as she leans on his shoulder as they both smile. 

“Happy birthday to the best mum out there, love you so much @victoriabeckham,” he captioned the snap.

Meanwhile, fellow bandmate Mel C, took the opportunity to take a cheeky dig at their Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell.

While wishing Beckham a happy birthday in an Instagram post, she pointed out that if she felt down about turning 49, to remember that they are both “still younger than Geri!”.

Halliwell herself took to Instagram to share her well wishes.

“Happy Birthday @victoriabeckham! Wishing you a fantastic year ahead xxx,” alongside two images of the pair during their heady Spice Girls days.

Mrs Beckham has only recently returned with a family break on a yacht in Palm Beach, Miami where they were joined by son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz following months of a rumoured estrangement.

The family also spent Easter with Brooklyn and their daughter-in-law  at Peltz’s family’s £76 million Palm Beach mansion.
