Victoria Beckham has wished Brooklyn Beckham a happy birthday in the most Posh Spice way.
The fashion designer, 49, took to Instagram on March 4 to share a birthday tribute to her eldest son in honor of his 25th birthday. In her first post, Victoria shared a sweet video of a young man from Brooklyn singing alongside her father, David Beckham, at a Spice Girls concert.
“Happy birthday Brooklyn. “We all love you so much,” he captioned the video. “Generous, funny, talented and with the kindest and most generous heart. We are very proud of the son, big brother and husband that you are. You always put everyone before yourself. Your love and energy is so special and touches everyone you meet. We love you!!!!!”
However, in her second post, Victoria took the opportunity to praise herself and her husband David for their parenting skills. “Today we celebrate Brooklyn turning 25!!! David, I love you very much and I am very proud of the parents that we are,” she wrote alongside a photo of the couple, married since 1999, posing with the aspiring chef.
“We are a good team !!!! Happy birthday,” Victoria added.
Unsurprisingly, her birthday tribute received a lot of funny responses from Instagram followers, who pointed out that she had made Brooklyn's birthday post about herself, whether accidentally or not.
“Strange choice of words on your son’s birthday!” commented one Instagram user.
“Why do I find this title so funny?” said another.
“Today is about Brooklyn, not you, Vic,” a third person said, along with a crying-laughing emoji.
Some people criticized the mother of four for using Brooklyn's birthday tribute to congratulate her and David on their parenting skills.
“How peculiar that this post is directed at how amazing he is,” one person said. “Maybe we should tell all our kids this when it's their birthday.”
Another asked: “How's that for David?”
Despite the backlash, many fans defended the former Spice Girls member by pointing out that it's hard to start a family, let alone be the center of attention.
“I love this perspective. It's so fucking hard to raise a child and we should, as parents, celebrate OUR achievement of making a child have another birthday,” one user responded. “Yes, it's great for them, but it's also nice to take a moment to celebrate yourself and your partnership with your co-parent.”
“Why do you leave messages if it's just to criticize?” another fan wrote. “Victoria is very proud of her son, she says so, and furthermore, it is thanks to the education of her parents, David and Victoria… Why do you always seek to find unnecessary faults!”
