David Beckham praises ‘amazing’ wife Victoria in celebration of International Women’s Day

David Beckham couldn’t resist paying tribute to his “amazing” wife Victoria Beckham on International Women’s Day.

The former professional footballer marked the special day by praising the fashion designer as well as their seven-year-old daughter Harper and his mother Sandra West.

He shared a string of adorable snaps of the stunning trio, one of which showed Victoria picking flowers with Harper while another showed Victoria smiling during an awards ceremony.

The third showed David cuddled up to his mother and a selfie saw him leaning his head lovingly on Victoria.

He captioned the unseen snaps: “Today we celebrate International Women’s Day. I’m so blessed to have these amazing women in my life, they inspire me every single day.

“Happy International Women’s Day to all the inspirational women around the world #IWD.”
