Victoria Beckham celebrates her 46th birthday with ‘virtual party’

Victoria Beckham marked her 46th birthday with a low-key celebration in her Cotswolds mansion on Friday, as the country remains in coronavirus lockdown.

The fashion designer took to Instagram to share several snaps from the evening with husband David and sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper, as they enjoyed a delicious cake.

For her birthday Victoria also hosted a ‘virtual party’ with her DJ pal Fat Tony on Instagram Live, as he played a medley of her favourite tracks so her fans could ‘turn the music up and have a dance.’

Following her birthday Victoria took to Instagram to share a sweet snap with husband David and her youngest child Harper, along with a simple cake covered with candles.

In the caption Victoria thanked her family for such a wonderful day, and once again lamented the absence of her oldest son Brooklyn, who is in New York with girlfriend Nicola Peltz during the lockdown.

She wrote: ‘I had the most special day today with @davidbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #harperseven X miss u so much @brooklynbeckham x kisses @dj_fattony thank you for making my day so special xxx.’

The former Spice Girl noted that under lockdown it’s a ‘stranger birthday than usual’, but it had left her feeling grateful for her health and family. 

Alongside a video montage of adorable snaps, she penned: ‘It’s my birthday. Perhaps a stranger birthday than usual.’ 

‘But I am so grateful to be safe and well and with @davidbeckham @cruzbeckham @romeobeckham #HarperSeven while missing @brooklynbeckham and all my family I can’t be with today. 

‘I know we will all be dancing together in spirit to my playlist tonight! xxxxx VB’

Victoria is currently in self-isolation with husband David, 44, along with three of their children, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and Harper, eight.

Their eldest son Brooklyn, 21, is isolating in the US with his girlfriend Nicola Peltz as that’s where he was when the outbreak happened. 

The Beckham family came under fire earlier this month when it was revealed they were isolating at their sprawling Cotswolds estate, with locals slamming the couple for their so-called ‘selfie-isolating.’

They left their London home to stay at their £6 million countryside property before the UK was put on lockdown on March 23. 

However, David and Victoria have since sparked speculation they’ve returned to their home in London amid the coronavirus lockdown.

Social media posts from the couple hinted they’re back in the capital despite the government strictly advising against non-essential travel during the pandemic.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the mother-of-four shared a snap of herself frolicking in a pile of large white balloons as she urged her followers to ‘turn the music up’. 

Alongside the photo, she wrote: ‘Tomorrow is my birthday. @di_fattony_ has given me the best bday present. A playlist of all my favourite songs to share with everyone.’

Rather than receive gifts, Victoria told how she would like her friends and family to make a charitable donation this year instead.

She wrote: ‘Instead of gifts this year I have asked my friends and family to donate to @thechildrenssociety. The link is in my bio.

‘They provide a lifeline for children hidden from view in the coronavirus crisis, and in even more danger now from abuse, exploitation, neglect or hunger. Please support them if you can. 

‘Tony will be going live on my Instagram tomorrow at 8PM BST/4PM EDT. Turn the music up and have a dance in your living room/kitchen/bedroom. Thank you Tony! x VB.’
