Victoria Beckham made a return to Instagram after her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, criticized her for allegedly dancing “inappropriately” at his wedding.

Victoria, 51, took to Instagram Stories early on January 21 to send birthday wishes to her fellow Spice Girl, Emma Bunton, who celebrated her 50th birthday on Tuesday.

She shared a nostalgic black-and-white photo of herself with Bunton, captioned with, “Happy birthday … I love you so much!”

Additionally, the former pop icon and current fashion designer posted a clip from the Spice Girls’ 1996 music video for “Say You’ll Be There,” writing, “Happy birthday, Baby,” in homage to Bunton’s nickname, Baby Spice.

The spotlight has returned to Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wedding after Brooklyn released a harsh statement criticizing his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. The family has been dealing with this ongoing rift since the couple wed in 2022. On January 19, Brooklyn, 26, shared what he claims to be his version of events […]

“Kisses xxx,” Victoria wrote.

Victoria’s husband, retired soccer star David Beckham, also resurfaced on social media early Tuesday morning, sending well wishes to former his former teammates Nicky Butt and Philip Neville via his Instagram Stories. Beckham played alongside the pair when he was part of English soccer team Manchester United.

Victoria and David’s posts come less than two days after Brooklyn, 26, posted a scathing statement to his own Instagram Stories about his fractured relationship with his parents.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” Brooklyn wrote.

Brooklyn Beckham’s scathing statement about his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, has made waves in the celebrity world. In January 2026, the eldest son of the former soccer pro and the fashion designer broke his silence on his and wife Nicola Peltz Beckham’s ongoing feud with his parents. “I have been silent for years and […]

Brooklyn accused Victoria and David, 50, of attempting to sabotage his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, claiming that Victoria “cancelled making Nicola’s [wedding] dress in the eleventh hour” before their April 2022 wedding.

At the wedding itself, Brooklyn alleged that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, “which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.”

“In front of our 500 wedding guests, [singer] Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule [it] was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead,” he wrote. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.”

“Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders,” Brooklyn further claimed. “Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer.”

During a Tuesday, January 20, appearance on CNBC, David reflected on allowing his children to make mistakes, particularly on social media, just hours after Brooklyn posted his statement. (David and Victoria are also parents to sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14.)

“I’ve been able to use my platform for my following, for UNICEF. And it’s been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children,” David said. “And I’ve tried to do the same with my children, to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn. So, that’s what I try to teach my kids, but you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”
