David Beckham smooches wife Victoria in throwback pool snap as he wishes her a happy birthday

David Beckham shared a racy smooching pool snap of him and his wife Victoria as he wished her a happy birthday.

The Spice Girl is celebrating her 51st birthday and her footballer husband was quick off the mark to share a gushing post.

David, 49, shared loved-up snaps of he and Victoria when they were younger, one of them kissing and embracing in a swimming pool and another hugging as they posed on a boat.

But he also shared a very sweet snap of Victoria as a young child, where she was seen sitting with a pink sweet-covered birthday cake sporting long brown hair with a blunt fringe.

‘Happy Birthday to the most amazing Wife, Mummy & Best Friend that we could all wish for,’ he wrote.

‘Have the most perfect day because you deserve to and we love you so much @victoriabeckham.’

David also shared a family photo, which seemed to be taken by him, of Victoria with their children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.

Commenting on the post, Victoria and David’s youngest son Cruz said: ‘I love you so much mum x from day 1 you have showed us unconditional love and haven’t stopped since .’

He also shared a throwback snap with his mum from when he was a baby on his Instagram Stories, as he wrote: ‘Happy birthday to the most inspirational mum, you have done everything for us .’

Victoria’s fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton also showed her some birthday love as she shared a snap of the pair with Melanie C from her 50th birthday bash last year.

‘Sending birthday kisses my gorgeous friend, @victoriabeckham! Have the best day,’ she wrote, also sharing a younger snap of her and Posh Spice from their girl band days.

Mel B also took to Instagram to share a birthday tribute to her friend, sharing a photo of the pair on stage in flight attendant costumes and writing: ‘Happy birthday @victoriabeckham!! What a throwback.’

Victoria used her birthday as a way of treating her followers to a glimpse at a new product from her make-up range.

Sharing a clip of her Lip Definer Trio liner set for Victoria Beckham Beauty, she said: ‘So for my birthday, I wanted to create something special, so we have created these little lip liners.’
