Victoria Beckham shares adorable throwback with baby Brooklyn as her eldest son celebrates his 22nd birthday

VICTORIA Beckham has played a glowing tribute to her oldest child Brooklyn on his birthday.

Brooklyn rung in his 22nd year as his famous mum shared a very adorable black and white pic of him as a toddler.

The vintage pic shows the former Spice Girl leaning over her toddler son while standing outdoors.

Both mum and son are smiling warmly in the gorogeous.

"22 years ago today our lives changed forever. The kindest, most beautiful soul. The most incredible son, brother and fiancé," she captioned the post on Instagram

"Happy Birthday @brooklynbeckham. We love you and are so proud of the man you have become x."

Her fans gushed over the throwback photo with one writing, "beautiful picture! Xx"

Another added: "Happy birthday Brooklyn."

And a third said: "It's so amazing how all your children show so much love for each other and you guys."

Victoria also took to her Instagram stories to pay tribute to budding photographer Brooklyn with some photos of his from over the years.

"Happy birthday... we love you so much and are so proud of the man you have become," she wrote on the first stylish photo of Brooklyn holding a camera.

The photos included cityscapes with a black and white shot at New York's Grand Central Station, photos of wild animals and African villagers.

Victoria, who also shares Romeo, 18, Cruz, 16, and 9-year-old daughter Harper with husband David, was not the only family member to wish Brooklyn a happy birthday.

Dad David shared a photo of a young Brooklyn sitting poolside and wearing a swimming cap.

"Happy Birthday Bust ❤️ we love you so much and hope you have the most amazing day," David wrote on Instagram.

"We are so proud of the man you have become ❤️ 22 years old wow . Love you big boy"

While Brooklyn's fiancee Nicola Peltz also gushed over her husband to be.

"happy birthday baby. you’re such an incredible person and your heart is pure gold. i love you so so much brooklyn' (sic)," she wrote alongside a photo of the pair posing on a beach.

Brooklyn recently sparked rumours he secretly married Nicola after he was spotted with gold band on his ring finger while grocery shopping in Los Angeles.

Previously, the couple fuelled rumours in August that they married in secret after a pal called her "Mrs Beckham".
