English former professional soccer player, businessman, and all-round superstar Sir David Beckham has wished his mother, Sandra, a Happy Birthday — and he’s shared some never-before-seen family photographs as he’s done so.
According to a Grazia article from January this year, Sandra was 76 at the time, so she should be turning 77 today.
Beckham, 51, was born to Sandra, then a hairstylist, and David “Ted” Beckham, then a heating engineer and appliance repairman, on May 2, 1975. In 2002, his mom and dad split after 33 years of marriage. He is still close to both of them and wished his father a Happy Father’s Day last Sunday, June 21.
Taking to social media, as he did for his dad five days ago, Beckham shared a heartfelt birthday message for his mother.
David Beckham Thanks His Mother for ‘Always Being There’
David Beckham posted his birthday message for his mother, Sandra, on his Instagram account, sharing it with his 87.2 million followers.
The post comprised six photographs. All six photographs featured Beckham and Sandra, with two of them also featuring his sisters, Lynne and Joanne. The photos range from Beckham being a toddler, to pictures taken very recently.
Beckham captioned the post, “Happy Birthday Mum , hope you have the best day cause if anyone deserves it it’s you.. Thank you for always being there for us all we love you so much ❤️ oh and I’m sending a BECKHAM cup over to you as your gift ❤️ Love you Mum ❤️ @sandra_beckham49.”
The cup comment was a reference to an earlier Instagram post by Beckham on Monday, June 15. As part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, McDonald’s are offering cups with famous soccer stars on. In the earlier post, Beckham filmed Sandra opening her McDonald’s package to find a David Beckham cup, only to hilariously say, “Oh, no, I wanted Thierry [Henry].”
Beckham’s fans and followers loved his birthday post for his mother and took to the comments to have their say on it.
One follower wrote, “Happy Birthday to the most amazing mum 🩷🥳🎉.”
Another fan commented, “your mom looks like princess Diana😍.”
Someone else said, “Happy Birthday to a wonderful mother. Thank you for raising the incredible person we all admire. Wishing her a beautiful year ahead. ❤️”
Finally, another Instagram user added, “Happy birthday to your mom, God bless her and many years of life 👏.”
Fans Also Loved the Earlier Post With Sandra in It
The aforementioned post with the video of Sandra receiving the David Beckham McDonald’s cup also went down a storm with Beckham’s followers.
Beckham captioned that one, “Mum trying to be funny on a Monday @thierryhenry you have a new fan 🙄 @sandra_beckham49 don’t worry I’ll remember this 😂.”
One of Beckham’s followers commented, “😂😂😂😂 Mom got jokes!! Love it.”
Another follower wrote, “This is hilarious. 🤣”
Someone else noted, “She’s a gem! 🤣”
Finally, one individual said, “That WAS funny, well done playing the game Mumma Beckham 👌.”
We’d like to wish Sandra Beckham the happiest of 77th birthdays. We hope she has the most wonderful day spending time with her nearest and dearest.
