Victoria Beckham finally treated herself to a real birthday cake as she celebrated her 51st birthday on Thursday, while her eldest son Brooklyn partied at Coachella. 

The former Spice Girl took to Instagram on Friday to share a gallery of birthday snaps with her loved ones as she posed on a boat holding an aptly-named Victoria sponge cake.

The star, who is known for her strict diet and exercise regime, was known in the past to only allow herself a watermelon cake on her birthday.

PH๏τographs from Victoria’s 44th birthday showed her cake was made up entirely of watermelon decorated with just strawberries and blueberries.

Fans at the time were less than impressed as they wrote: ‘Nah, sorry but it’s your Birthday, let your hair down and your waistline out a little. YOLO. Saddest looking Birthday cake ever!!” 

However, the star appeared to have indulged this year as she proudly held up a real birthday cake while celebrating with her husband David, son Romeo and daughter Harper.

Yet as the family celebrated together, Brooklyn packed on the PDA at Coachella with his wife Nicola Peltz 

The former Spice Girl took to Instagram on Friday with a round up of snaps with her family and friends as she enjoyed dinner and drinks with her husband David 

Yet as the family united, the couple’s eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, were notably absent as they were instead at Coachella.

Brooklyn instead took to Instagram on Friday to share snaps of himself and Nicola at the music festival as he made no mention of Victoria’s birthday. 

Posing with Nicola, the pair looked to be having an incredible time at the festival as they packed on the PDA and danced with their friends. 

Brooklyn captioned the snaps: ‘Made amazing memories this year x❤️ #supergooppartner.’

However, one fan even commented: ‘How about a happy birthday to your mom?’ 

While the rest of her family posted their birthday tributes, the Daily Mail reported that Brooklyn failed to wish his mother a happy birthday on social media.

And there was nothing from his wife Nicola either – despite her also sharing snaps from her weekend at 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.

On Thursday David shared a racy smooching pool snap of him and Victoria as he wished her a happy birthday. 

David, 49, shared loved-up snaps of he and Victoria when they were younger, one of them kissing and embracing in a swimming pool and another hugging as they posed on a boat. 

But he also shared a very sweet snap of Victoria as a young child, where she was seen sitting with a pink sweet-covered birthday cake sporting long brown hair with a blunt fringe.  

‘Happy Birthday to the most amazing Wife, Mummy & Best Friend that we could all wish for,’ he wrote. 

‘Have the most perfect day because you deserve to and we love you so much @victoriabeckham.’

David also shared a family pH๏τo, which seemed to be taken by him, of Victoria with their children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.  

Aside from her cake, Victoria kept it healthy as she tucked into a plate of avocado in a sweet snap with Harper

Commenting on the post, Victoria and David’s youngest son Cruz said: ‘I love you so much mum x from day 1 you have showed us unconditional love and haven’t stopped since ❤️.’ 

He also shared a throwback snap with his mum from when he was a baby on his Instagram Stories, as he wrote: ‘Happy birthday to the most inspirational mum, you have done everything for us ❤️.’

David later took to his Instagram Stories to share a collection of snaps for Victoria’s birthday, including one of her and their daughter Harper.

Writing as though the post was from Harper, he said: ‘Happy birthday mummy, we love you soooooo much.’ 

Another snap shared by David was of Victoria holding Harper as a baby, surrounded by their three sons. ‘Birthday mummy, special mummy,’ he wrote. 

Victoria’s fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton also showed her some birthday love as she shared a snap of the pair with Melanie C from her 50th birthday bash last year. 

‘Sending birthday kisses my gorgeous friend, @victoriabeckham! Have the best day,’ she wrote, also sharing a younger snap of her and Posh Spice from their girl band days.
