In the eye-catching snap, Beckham stood waist-deep in the ocean as he climbed a ladder beside a yacht, surrounded by stunning cliffs and crystal-clear blue water. The former athlete flashed a huge smile while showing off his tattooed chest, toned physique, and confidence in the skimpy red swim briefs, paired with oversized amber-tinted sunglasses.

Victoria shared the steamy image as part of a heartfelt birthday post, writing, “You are our world, our everything. We love you so much!!! Happy birthday to the best husband, daddy, son, brother, and friend.” She continued, “To the kindest most generous soul. We will spoil you all day!!!! Nobody deserves it more than you xxx.”

Victoria’s heartfelt birthday tribute to David also arrived as the fashion designer made rare comments about family during her first TV interview since son Brooklyn Beckham’s public fallout with the family.

Appearing on “Today,” Victoria was asked about what she described as a “challenging” year. While she avoided mentioning Brooklyn by name, the former Spice Girl spoke candidly about her devotion to family and protecting her children.

“We always put our children first. We love our children so much and we’ve always really focused on protecting our children,” Victoria said, referring to the four children she shares with David: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

Beckham’s birthday festivities also came just days after the soccer icon reportedly made history by becoming the U.K.’s first billionaire sportsman.

According to the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List, the combined wealth of David and Victoria Beckham officially surpassed the billion-pound mark, landing at an estimated £1.185 billion (roughly $1.6 billion). The milestone placed the Beckhams among the wealthiest names in sports and entertainment, trailing only the family of former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone on the publication’s sports rich list.

Much of Beckham’s fortune comes from far more than his legendary soccer career. The former England captain is a co-owner of Inter Miami, now considered one of Major League Soccer’s most valuable franchises, while also continuing to rake in major endorsement deals through longtime partnerships with brands like Adidas and Hugo Boss.

Safe to say, Beckham had more than one reason to celebrate this birthday.
