Victoria Beckham has said she feels “so proud” of the life she’s built with Sir David Beckham. The 51-year-old fashion designer has taken to social media to celebrate the couple’s 26th wedding anniversary, and to express her love for the retired soccer star and their four children. Alongside a throwback photo of the loved-up couple sharing a kiss, Victoria – who has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, with David – wrote on X: “Another year, another chapter in our love story [heart emoji]. “I’m so proud of the beautiful family and life we’ve built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much #DavidBeckham xx Here’s to 26 years!! xx (sic)” The celebrity duo tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle in the Republic of Ireland on July 4, 1999. David has also taken to social media to celebrate their latest wedding anniversary, thanking the singer-turned-designer for giving him four “beautiful children”. Alongside some photos from their wedding day, David wrote: “26 years today you said YES to me. Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together. I love you Lady Beckham. (sic)” David also tagged the couple’s three sons in his post, and added a mention for their daughter Harper, who does not have her own Instagram page. But as their celebrations unfolded, their eldest son, Brooklyn, posted another loving tribute to his wife, Nicola Peltz, as the rumoured feud with his family rumbles on. The young couple, who married three years ago, have been sharing their own loved-up updates of late. Last month, Brooklyn publicly marked the five-year anniversary of his marriage proposal to Nicola, saying it was his “best decision ever”. It comes as fans continue to look for signs of an olive branch between Brooklyn and his famous family, having publicly ignored his dad’s 50th birthday and recent knighthood honour. As his parents celebrated their anniversary, the 26-year-old shared an Instagram post in which a photo showed his wife larking about next to a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage with the caption: “My girl xx.” Victoria and David have celebrated their anniversary shortly after David was knighted by King Charles for his services to sport and charity. The 50-year-old sports star – who captained the England national team during his playing career – admitted to feeling “incredibly humbled” by the accolade. David – who also played for the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid, before retiring in 2013 – said in a statement at the time: “Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. “To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true.”
