On her account, she shared a video of David crawling as a tot as she wrote: "My world... love you lots xx."
David then reposted this to his own Instagram story along with a handful of other celebratory messages from family and friends.
The star celebrated turning the big 5-0 on Friday.
Before a planned party in Mayfair, London this evening, David and his family enjoyed celebrations across France.
The Beckhams were spotted arriving at Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Friday, after spending the afternoon at a vineyard Bordeaux.
Despite the ex-England footballer being surrounded by most of his immediate family, Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were nowhere to be soon - which has continued to fuel speculation of a feud.
They were later seen emerging from their posh hotel, after splashing the cash at one of their favourite hotel's in the city, La Réserve.
The family were spotted heading out for a special dinner, with David holding what appeared to be a £3,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus 1961.
Today, The Sun told how Brooklyn had opted to forego a swanky party in London to celebrate his father - leaving the family "devastated".
It is understood Brooklyn flew back home to the US earlier today.
News of his snub seemingly confirms a devastating feud at the heart of the Beckham clan.
Last night a source said: 'David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it.
'Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it.
'Brooklyn actually informed his parents a while ago that he and his wife, Nicola, would not be attending but, of course, David and Victoria desperately hoped he would change his mind.

'It's a dagger to the heart that he hasn't attended a single one of David's 50th celebrations - and hurts the whole family including the grandparents and siblings.
'Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly. They just hope things can be patched up soon.
'In the meantime, everyone around David are doing all they can to give him a magical evening to remember.'
What do David Beckham's tattoos mean?
Hands
Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.
This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid.
On his little finger, he has the year he was married.
Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper.
The devoted husband has "Posh' tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham 's Spice Girls nickname.
Arms
Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria.
The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit.
Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.
The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine".
Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary.
Neck
One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings.
It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings.
Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck.
This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday.
Back
Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons.
He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them.
Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz 's names inked across his back.
Body
Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as 'Death and life have determined appointments".
Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has.

Meghan Markle doesn't care if Brit 'haters' winced at her twerking birth video
While most people were delighted to see it the candid video shared by Meghan Markle - others were less impressed as Meghan got some backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry Meghan Markle's video of her twerking in the delivery room before daughter Lilibet's birth divided fans this week but she seems to have put the embarrassment behind her. To honour her daughter's fourth birthday Meghan posted the video on her Instagram account this week- giving fans an inside glimpse of the day the young princess was born. Prince Harry also featured in the video wth a twerking Meghan Markle in the delivery room before Princess Lilibet was born in 2021. The candid moment shows Meghan in the late stages of her pregnancy, dancing around a hospital room to the song Baby Mama with Harry by her side, in an attempt to induce her labour. Alongside the divisive video, Meghan wrote: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" Despite the backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry to the soundtrack of Starrkeisha's Baby Mama song, defiant Meghan is thrilled by the reaction in America. A source told MailOnline: "Meghan doesn't care about the haters in Britain calling her vulgar. Americans thought the twerking video was hilarious and relatable." One person wrote on X: "Oh my. That's really just awful," while another user joked: "They are cringe to the max… I feel nauseous." Others claimed the Sussexes were making a mockery of their royal titles by sharing the video, with one writing: "Good grief, these people have titles. Ruining the reputation and respect of the Royal Family, one Instagram post at a time." However, others sharing their thoughts on the video, praisied their fun and caring relationship and were delighted to see it. One person voiced their support Harry and Meghan, writing on X: 'This is everything! Harry on beat and Meghan dropping it like it's hot. They look like they have so much fun together.' A source close to the Sussexes added: "Meghan is very pleased with the video. In the UK everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit." Meghan is about to launch a series of new products as part of her As Ever line – including rosé wine. The source added: "She and her team count it [the video] as a 'win', which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market." Meghan and Harry celebrated Lilibet's fourth birthday on Wednesday, with Meghan posting a series of unseen family photos to her Instagram account to celebrate the special day. Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling Lili, while they both sported windswept hair as they sat together seemingly on a boat.

EXCLUSIVE 'How can Geri rubbish the legacy of the Spice Girls... who does she think she is?': As furious row erupts, sources VERY close to the band tell KATIE HIND their withering verdicts on 'lady of the manor' Geri
When the Spice Girls lived together in their modest semi in Maidenhead, before they achieved pop stardom, they would speak endlessly about misogyny in the music industry. Repeatedly told that they wouldn't get on the cover of magazines because 'women don't sell', or being spoken to rudely by male record label bosses, they grew more and more angry. They would, I'm told, spend evenings discussing how they could change the world to make it a better place for women and girls.

Kylie Jenner goes topless under sexy black robe after shock admission about her breast implants
Kylie Jenner put on a busty display in a series of sultry snaps that were shared to her Instagram page on Saturday. The beauty mogul, 27 - who recently got candid about her breast implants - struck a variety of poses while taking snaps in the reflection of a mirror. The mom-of-two donned a black, satin robe that was partially open at the front and loosely secured with a belt which tied around her waist. Jenner's long, dark locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in elegant curls. Her makeup was glammed up for the spontaneous photo session and comprised of a layer of mascara on her lashes as well as a light shadow around her eyes. A warm blush was added to her cheekbones while a nude-colored matte tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. The post also included a short reel as she showed off the lowkey look while filming inside what appeared to be a hotel bathroom. Jenner penned in the caption to her 393 million followers: 'having a reaally good hair day.' It comes just days after the TV personality gave a shock admission about her breast implants earlier this week on Wednesday. The Kylie Cosmetics founder responded to a fan on TikTok who had asked the reality star to unveil details about her past procedure. Back in 2023, Jenner admitted to undergoing a boob job when she was only 19-years-old, which had been shortly before she became pregnant with her eldest child Stormi. A social media user named Rachel Leary uploaded a clip to the platform and also typed out, 'help a girl out @Kylie Jenner. i just want to know how to get them to sit like that, respectfully.' The star saw the post and then offered her own response in the comment section of the video. '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol,' Kylie wrote, which prompted the fan to excitedly gush, 'KYLIEEEEE!!! you are the best THANK YOU!!!!' Dr. Garth Fisher was the same plastic surgeon that Kylie's mom Kris Jenner also went to back in 2011 to undergo a facelift. The momager recently commented on Fisher's post as she thanked him for performing her facelift over a decade earlier. 'Garth you are a such a superstar class act!! You did my first facelift in 2011... 14 years ago!!!' she began. 'And made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid...' Jenner concluded with, 'You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!' Kylie has previously been open about undergoing cosmetic procedures aside from the breast implants, such as getting fillers. During an episode of The Kardashians in 2023, the reality star opened up about her boob job which occurred when she was age 19. While having a conversation with close pal Stassie Karanikolaou, the mom-of-two expressed, 'You know I got my breasts done before Stormi, within six months of having Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20. 'They were still healing,' Kylie said, and then added, 'I had beautiful breasts. Just gorgeous, perfect size. I just wish I never got them done, to begin with.' However, the Khy founder told her friend that her viewpoint on undergoing surgery has altered since welcoming her daughter Stormi, seven. The beauty mogul shares Stormi as well as son Aire, three, with ex and rapper Travis Scott. 'I have a daughter. I would be heartbroken if she wanted to get her body done at 19,' Jenner admitted. 'She's the most beautiful thing ever. I want to be the best mom and the best example for her. I wish I could be her and do it all again because I wouldn't touch anything.' And during an interview with British Vogue last year, Kylie discussed facing judgement over rumors that she had undergone cosmetic surgery when she was a teenager. 'Naturally you're in such a different place,' she explained in regards to being a teen. 'The world put a lot of pressure on a teenager, me, to make the right decisions. 'And I just have to be gentle with myself because although I carried so much responsibility in the moment, I was just trying to do what was best for me. I was just trying my best as a human.' Kylie has been keeping busy and was spotted attending a Pilates class alongside her older sister Kendall in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. The beauty mogul showed off her toned midriff wearing a black, busty sports bra as well as a pair of black leggings. She also jumped to Instagram to share a carousel of snaps from the past week - including a few as she attended a Knicks game with boyfriend Timothee Chalamet. The couple - who were first linked in 2023 - have recently been spotted at a few NBA games together, although she did not include the actor in her photo series.
