The doting dad celebrated his 41st birthday with his loving family, somewhere far, far away…
Football legend David Beckham started his birthday celebrations over the weekend with none other than the most important people in his life – his family.
The retired athlete is currently enjoying some well-deserved R&R with his four children, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 11, and Harper, four, in the picturesque countryside.
From his comfortable spot in the rolling green fields, the 41-year-old took a minute to connect with his fans on Instagram, by sharing a heartfelt video message thanking them for their love and support.
“Thank you all for the birthday messages and for your support this year!” he captioned the video where can be seen sitting in front of an empty field, looking the part of a country man in a flat cap and jumper draped over his shoulders.
“Hi everybody, so it’s a year to the day since I joined Instagram, I just want to thank you all for your support! 22 million in a year – not too bad!” the proud papa quipped in the video before a montage of some of his best Instagram moments flashed across the screen.
David’s loving wife, Victoria, also took the time out from their relaxing getaway to wish her husband the best on his special day.
Taking to Instagram, she uploaded a super sweet photo of her main man, looking chipper as he sat in front of a cosy fireplace completely surrounded by birthday gifts.
“Happy Birthday to the most amazing husband and wonderful daddy X We all love you so much!!” She penned to her 10 million followers.
Beck’s eldest son, Brooklyn, also shared a happy snap in his honour, which showed the two looking more like siblings than father in son as they sat atop a wooden fence bordering a paddock.
“Happy birthday dad. I’m so lucky to have a dad and a hero all in one! Love you so much” he said fondly of his dad who he has nicknamed “Mr Guns” – for obvious reasons.
Happy Birthday, David!
