Sharing a sizzling throwback snap of a swimming pool smooch to mark his wife Victoria’s 51st birthday, David Beckham wasn’t holding back on the affection front.

The celebrity couple’s sons Romeo and Cruz were also quick to send loving messages to their mum on social media.

But there may have been a cloud casting shade over Posh’s happy day – in the form of an apparent online snub by their eldest boy Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

Former Three Lions and Manchester United ace Becks, 49, yesterday posted a series of nostalgic snaps on Instagram to mark his designer wife’s birthday.

‘Happy Birthday to the most amazing Wife, Mummy & Best Friend that we could all wish for. Have the most perfect day because you deserve to and we love you so much,’ Beckham wrote. 

He also posted a message and picture on behalf of daughter Harper, 13, which read: ‘Happy Birthday Mummy. We all love you sooooo much.’

Romeo, 22, followed suit, writing: ‘Happy Birthday to the most amazing mum, keep shining and making us all proud, love you lots’. 

And Cruz, 20, said: ‘Happy Birthday to the most inspirational mum, you have done everything for us.’

But Brooklyn, 26, failed to wish his mother a happy birthday on social media. 

And there was nothing from his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, either – despite sharing snaps from her weekend at LA festival Coachella.

Their social media silence comes after Victoria and David appeared to publicly blank Brooklyn and Nicola’s third wedding anniversary last week. 

Neither she nor David wished them a happy anniversary –and didn’t even ‘like’ or comment on the couple’s post about their milestone.

Brooklyn and his wife also missed out on the start of his father’s early 50th birthday celebrations in Miami this month.

The apparent fresh online impasse between Posh and Becks and Brooklyn and Nicola has sparked speculation of a return to a rumoured rift that followed the younger couple’s dream wedding in 2022.

That came amid reports of disagreements over who would design the dress for Ms Peltz at her multi-million dollar nuptials at her family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

Victoria and Nicola then appeared to bury the hatchet the next year.

But the former Spice Girl seemed upbeat yesterday as she used her big day to plug her new lip liner range to fans, saying: ‘So for my birthday, I wanted to create something special.’
