Fans say 'that's not David Beckham' as he and Victoria share throwback snaps on Valentine's Day

David Beckham has had fans telling him the exact same thing as he celebrated Valentine's Day by publically sharing his undying love for his wife, Victoria. The former Manchester United and England footballer was among the famous faces sharing their gushing tributes to their partners on the annual day of love.

He took to Instagram on Tuesday (February 14) with a fresh-faced throwback snap of himself and Victoria appearing in a romantic dinner setting during the early years of their relationship. The couple, who married in 1999 and share four children together, gave soft smiles for the camera on what appeared to be a sun-soaked holiday.

"Happy Valentines to my valentine," David, 47, penned alongside the images which showed Becks sporting his longer, blonder locks without any tattoos while Victoria's dark tresses were styled in a cropped fashion. "We Love You @victoriabeckham.. @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven," he added alongside multiple hearts.

And Victoria was quick to respond, writing: "Happy Valentine’s Day! I love u all so much too!!! Xx." But as fans cooed over David's sweet post, others couldn't help but make the same observation - that David and Victoria's eldest son, Brooklyn, is his dad's double.

@ouzouraf said: "Brooklyn with blonde hair hahah." @kristina_bella_vita commented: "Really looks like Brooklyn." @evangelistiano wrote: "You look like brooklyn hahah." @finnthepugandreggiethefrenchie shared: "Brooklyn so much like David." @luiiilu21 added: "Omg that’s Brooklyn’s face."

However, Victoria's loved-up post left fans with a different reaction. The former Spice Girl and now fashion designer posted some old holiday snaps with her husband, again showing the devoted pair all fresh-faced. In one, Victoria had her arms hung around David's neck as he put his around her waist and they stared into the camera in a picturesque location.

"26 years and still my Valentine, I love you so much @davidbeckham," Victoria, 48, wrote before adding: "Kisses @brooklynpeltzbeckham @cruzbeckham @romeobeckham #HarperSeven."

But while David was told he reminded fans of Brooklyn on his own post, on Victoria's Instagram post, her followers couldn't help but pick out another of the pair's children as David's 'twin'. @mfawad919 commented: "This is Romeo not David." @mugglese7en wrote: "I see Harper and Romeo." @brendarood99 posted: "I see Romeo is David's twin." @smashsixty added: "Looks exactly like Romeo."

David and Victoria will be celebrating 24 years married this summer. The couple met back in 1997 while David was playing for Manchester United and Victoria was enjoying life as one-fifth of the biggest girl bands of all time.

The loved-up pair then said 'I Do' just under two years later in July 1999 in a fairytale ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle. They have since become proud parents to four children; Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven and earlier this year watched their eldest become a married man himself as he tied the knot with Transformers actress Nicola Peltz.
