David Beckham celebrates birthday with unusual family gift

Victoria Beckham gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at David Beckham’s birthday celebrations, showing a cheerful family surprise at home.

Sharing a video on her official Instagram handle, the former Spice Girls star captured her better half's reaction as he was surprised with a unique birthday gift from the family, a group of chickens for their estate coop.

In the video, the former footballer was seen smiling as he carefully handled the birds, wearing a cowboy hat in a laid back outdoor setting.

From behind the camera, the fashion designer can be heard joking about the gift while expressing affection for her husband.

She captioned the post, “Happy Birthday, we love you so much!!”

The birthday celebrations took a playful turn, with the family reportedly involved in selecting the gift.

The chickens are the latest addition to the couple’s rural lifestyle at their £15million countryside property.

Victoria’s post comes as part of wider family tributes shared on the day, with Romeo, Cruz and Harper also posting messages online, while Brooklyn Beckham did not publicly acknowledge the occasion.
