The Beckhams first met in the Manchester United players’ lounge in 1997 and announced their engagement the following year.
They welcomed their eldest son, Brooklyn, in March 1999, before tying the knot in July of the same year.
The couple now have four children together – sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, as well as daughter Harper, 13.
David and Victoria have built a powerful brand together over their 26-year marriage, becoming one of the world’s most recognisable couples.
The birthday celebrations come amid speculation of a family rift, as eldest son Brooklyn has yet to publicly wish his father happy birthday on social media.
Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz reportedly missed David’s pre-birthday bash in Miami, despite living in Los Angeles.
Last month, Brooklyn also failed to post online for Victoria’s birthday and did not attend her yacht celebrations.
The apparent distance follows what some sources describe as the family not acknowledging Brooklyn and Nicola’s third wedding anniversary on social media.
David Beckham’s illustrious football career included scoring in three different World Cups and earning 115 England caps, the third most for the men’s team.
He was part of Manchester United’s historic treble-winning campaign in 1998-99, when the club claimed the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
After playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, Beckham now co-owns Inter Miami in the US.
Beyond football, he serves as a Unicef goodwill ambassador and runs a production company that created the Disney+ documentary Save Our Squad with David Beckham.
Birthday wishes have poured in from other family members, with sons Romeo and Cruz sharing loving tributes on social media.
Romeo called his father “the most amazing role model” and wrote that he loved him “so so much”. Cruz posted a photo of the sportsman smiling with the message “I love you so much dad”.
David’s best man, Gary Neville, also shared a heartfelt message, saying Beckham should “stand still today for once and reflect on everything you have achieved”.
“We’ve won, lost, laughed and cried but had the most incredible times together,” Neville added.
