Victoria was clearly swooning over her shirtless husband with various moments of him working out, and she seems to think he is model material, posting some of his famous moments from shoots.
Another throwback snap saw Victoria with her arms around her beau’s shoulders as he wore a Chicago Bulls basketball top and she wore a navy vest.
The montage transported fans to a range of settings and one clip saw a younger David displaying his OBE in a sharp suit as his wife wore all black.
More cute family videos included one of the clan taking a boat ride at night as David donned a white tracksuit top.
David’s unique tattoos also got an airing, particularly in a snap of the former Real Madrid star taken next to a sunset, as he wore a brown t-shirt and black baseball cap.
One clip showed David in black trousers and white shoes as he took a dance lesson with wife Victoria, before spinning her around in a perfect routine.
Iconic moments also included many of David’s famous hairstyles over the years and lots of pictures of their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

Just after midday, David posted a thank you message to his Instagram acknowledging his family, friends and everyone who had helped him along his career.
He added a slew of pictures of him as a child, as well as with Victoria and his children.
The ex England star captioned the update: ‘As I reflect on this Birthday I’m very grateful for many things in my life the teams I’ve played for, my team mates, managers, the fans, MY COUNTRY and being England captain , the children I have met over different charities I work with , my team in my business & the friends I have around me I feel truly blessed…
‘But my biggest accomplishment is and will always be my family , my mum and dad who sacrificed so much for me to live my dream of becoming a footballer, my sisters who had to put up with following there brother around in the freezing cold watching me play football and my amazing nan and grandad…
‘My wife and best friend of 28 years and my beautiful children Brooklyn , Romeo , Cruz & Harper you are the reason I get out of bed each day thank you for making me smile and thank you for making me a better man…. I love you all so much and thank you for making today so special for me… You are my world.’
Minutes after Victoria’s emotional compilation of memories, Romeo, 22, posted his own tribute to his father on his Instagram.
It saw the former footballer upload a throwback photo of him and his father with him wearing a pink and white striped shirt and pink glasses while a tanned David sported a yellow shirt.
He captioned the post: ‘Happy birthday to the most amazing role model, love you so so much.’

Romeo then added a video of him spotting his father after a football match and running over to give him a high five.
David’s son gave him a hilarious card for his landmark birthday, showing his father peering round a door and reading: ‘Be honest. What age did you turn today? No. One answer. What age is it?’
The card was a callback to the Beckham Netflix documentary when David spoke those lines in a jokey exchange with his wife about her claims she had a working class upbringing.
Aspiring musician Cruz, 20, David and Victoria’s youngest son, also made sure to celebrate his dad’s big day with a selfie in front of one of David’s shirtless campaigns for underwear brand Boss.
He added the caption: ‘Happy birthday dad. @davidbeckham, happy birthday.’
The singer followed up the quirky snap with a sideways snap of his father on a camera monitor, showing him in a white shirt and sand flat cap in the foreground and a long dinner table in the background, captioning it: ‘I love you so much dad.’
A further photo saw a baby Cruz being lifted up by his father after a Real Madrid match with both father and son wearing the Spanish side’s classic white shirt.
Meanwhile David’s celebrity pals have been sending their birthday tributes to the star as they took to social media ahead of the party.

In the clip, they danced together to their favourite song Islands In The Stream by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
The song become synonymous with them as a couple as they famously danced to it together in the closing scenes of their BECKHAM Netflix documentary.
She penned in the caption: ‘Happy birthday eve @davidbeckham… my everything ❤️ My best friend, soul mate and dance partner for life ✨
‘Like the song says. We start and end as one, In love forever, We can ride it together, ah ha I love you xxxxxxxxxx.’
Victoria didn’t specify when the video was from but they did throw a black tie event at their £10million Cotswolds house on Wednesday evening.
The football legend, whose milestone birthday is on Friday, was making the most of the celebrations with his nearest and dearest during a black-tie evening.
Guests dressed to impress in their tuxedos and ballgowns and were treated to lavish cocktails.
The bash soon turned wild as guests went late night swimming in their tuxedos in the pond.

Sharing a glimpse into the night, David and Victoria’s youngest son Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, shared a sweet snap of themselves ‘coordinating’ outfits on Instagram.
The aspiring musician rocked a tux with eye catching red braces while Jackie stunned in a strappy red satin gown.
The duo, who have a ten year age gap, pouted for the loved-up snap ahead of the celebrations.
Meanwhile, Victoria’s younger sister Louise Adams shared new family photos on Instagram as she proudly posed with three of her four children Liberty, Tallulah, Finlay at the glam bash.
Louise looked gorgeous in a £990 draped black dress designed by her sister for the family celebration.
She beamed as she sipped on a large cocktail while posing with her dapper son Finlay outside at the Beckham’s home.
Louise also shares son Quincy with her ex-husband Darren Flood.
Louise has been a regular at her sister and husband David’s lavish celebrations over the years, and no doubt will be one of the guests at the former footballer’s second 50th birthday bash on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Finlay also took to social media to share a video of himself climbing out of the water carrying a paddle as he and other friends were laughing.
It is believed that David and Victoria’s other children Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, Romeo, 22, and Harper, 13, were also in attendance, although they are yet to share pictures of themselves there.
Brooklyn and Nicola confirmed they were back in the UK earlier this week as they packed on the PDA in London ahead of reuniting with his family.
The eldest Beckham son and model looked smitten as they shared a passionate kiss at Mountain Restaurant in Soho.
Brooklyn is set to reunite with dad David at his 50th birthday party, ending any rumours of a family feud.
The former footballer is rumoured to be celebrating his milestone birthday with a lavish dinner party over the weekend at three Michelin star restaurant Core in London.
Brooklyn and Nicola are reported to be on the guest list, alongside David and Victoria’s other three children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper and celeb pals including Tom Cruise and David’s Class of ’92 teammates.

‘David is going all out for his 50th – and while a dinner party seems understated it is going to be a bash to remember,’ the source explained.
‘Brooklyn and Nicola are on the list, as well as Romeo, Cruz and Harper, and his and Victoria’s parents – it’s a proper family affair.
‘David threw a big party in Miami for his American friends but on his actual birthday, Friday May 2, he wants a more intimate celebration.
Brooklyn’s reunion with his family comes after reports of ‘a growing rift’ between the oldest Beckham child and his parents.

Brooklyn and Nicola were not at David’s Miami party last month and also did not celebrate Easter with his family.
Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother’s birthday last week, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her.
Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.
The Mail later revealed relations are said, once more, to be ‘strained’ between Brooklyn and Nicola, and his mum and dad – just days away from David’s planned ‘intimate family’ 50th birthday bash.
Instead, the young couple – who married in an eye-wateringly lavish wedding in Palm Beach, Florida in 2022 – chose to share pictures of their trip to the Coachella music festival in Indio, California.

There are also fears Brooklyn and his wife may suddenly decide not to accompany the rest of the family to David’s birthday celebrations.
‘David adores his sons and he is so, so proud of how close they are,’ an associate revealed to The Mail last week.
‘He loves having a happy family that loves spending time together.
‘Family is everything to him. He is a working class boy who grew up with strong connections to his grandparents and parents, and he loves nothing more than to see his boys, and Harper, being so close.
‘While the location will be perfect and stunning, what he wants most is for his family to be around him, happily getting along. Right now, though, things aren’t great.
‘All everyone around them hopes is that they can mend any issues in time for the big day – for David.’
This wouldn’t be the first time Brooklyn and Nicola have been missing on family occasions: they have been notably absent for numerous family get-togethers over the past 12 months.
Friends of the Beckhams have also claimed Brooklyn told his parents he will come, while they are said to also be ‘expecting’ Nicola to turn up.
Yet doubts clearly remain: ‘Both have very much been invited as much-loved members the family,’ the friend said.’
Another friend said: ‘It would absolutely destroy David if any fall-outs carry on and become big deals.
‘It would be the best birthday present ever for David to have all of his children and their partners happily having a wonderful time together. That’s what really puts a smile on his face.’
