David Beckham is the ultimate Spice Girls fanboy in 50th birthday tribute
A big milestone.
Victoria Beckham and The Spice Girls have paid tribute to her husband – and ‘original spice boy’ – David as the former England international footballer reaches the big 5-0.
The pair have been married since 1999, having tied the knot when David was playing for Manchester United and Victoria was still in the Spice Girls.
Having been in the spotlight for their entire married life, there has been renewed interest in them as a couple ever since the release of the Netflix documentary Beckham.
Now Victoria, 51, has celebrated David by taking to Instagram and dedicating a special post to the father of her four children and her husband of 26 years.
She was joined by the Spice Girls official Instagram account, who posted snaps of David wearing a Spice World Christmas jumper and a t-shirt emblazoned with a shot of his wife as Posh Spice.
It was accompanied by the 1997 tune Spice Up Your Life and the caption ‘One of our original Spice Boys turns 50 today! Happy birthday @davidbeckham.’
