Victoria Beckham celebrated her birthday in style by taking a private jet to the south of France.
The Spice Girl turned 50 this week and spent the milestone surrounded by her family. Husband David Beckham is said to have taken her to France where they were driver by a chauffeur to a £200-a-head hilltop restaurant in Saint-Paul de Vence. It is a favourite spot for A-list stars thanks to its stunning remote location.
Victoria was joined by her four children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper – alongside her parents Jackie and Tony. “David chose somewhere incredibly remote where they knew the family wouldn’t get papped,” a source said. “The restaurant regularly hosts A-list celebrities during the Cannes film festival so none of the Riviera locals bat an eyelid when they see a celebrity.
“Victoria had an amazing fine wine-fuelled afternoon, soaking up the rays al fresco, overlooking the Med and enjoying her favourite white fish,” they told The Sun. Victoria is also getting ready to celebrate at a lavish birthday dinner this weekend in London, where she will be joined by Gordon Ramsay, Mel B and Emma Bunton, according to the publication.

Victoria celebrated her 50th birthday with a sweet post shared with fans about her children and husband David Beckham. She said: “As I get ready to step into 50 (in heels, of course!), I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone. Blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content. Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come. My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision.”

He penned: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife… As you head into this birthday you should look back and be proud of what you have accomplished, achieved & what you have built, Posh Spice, businesswoman & of course marrying an England captain. But your biggest success are your children, you guide them, love them & teach them… They love you beyond words, we all love you so much x Have a special day you deserve it all. 50 and fit. I am being honest,” alongside a series of pink heart emojis.
