David Beckham celebrated his wife Victoria’s 52nd birthday on Friday by sharing a nostalgic photo capturing the moment he first fell in love with her, alongside a playful nod to the infamous Rolls-Royce incident.
The 50-year-old former soccer star turned to Instagram to reminisce with a series of heartfelt and amusing throwback images of the iconic Posh Spice.
Among the photos was a snapshot from the Spice Girls’ 1996 “Say You’ll Be There” music video, marking the first time Victoria captivated David’s heart.
He also included a charming image of a young Victoria standing beside her father’s Rolls-Royce, adding a touch of humor to the collection.
David’s playful side shines through, especially considering Victoria’s well-known comments about her working-class upbringing in his 2023 Netflix documentary.
David interrupted and told Victoria to admit that her dad used to drive her to school in a Rolls-Royce – a high-end car.Â

Whilst the magazine says ‘she does not reply with his name,’ the mother of four, 51, has, for the first time, spoken directly about their ongoing feud.
‘I think that we’ve always — we love our children so much’, she said. ‘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’.
Brooklyn, 27, cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of ‘controlling him for most of his life’.
