David Beckham is celebrating his big sis!

On Wednesday, May 29, the former soccer player, 49, shared several throwback snaps on his Instagram Stories to wish his older sister Lynne a happy 52nd birthday.

“Happy Birthday to my sis,” David wrote alongside a love heart emoji and a snap of the two when they were kids. “Sorry @lynnebeckhambriggs1972 couldn’t resist but I think you look good 😆.”

In the photo, a young David smiled as he sported a white shirt tucked into dark pants. The Inter-Miami co-owner’s sister also looked smart, keeping her top tucked into her skirt while wearing a short hairstyle.
