“Happy 13th birthday to my beautiful little girl. Daddy is so proud of you. You’ve blossomed into a kind, generous, and beautiful young lady with the most incredible heart and the most amazing smile that we all adore so, so, much. Always remain the beautiful person that you are. Harper Seven, you’re my whole world,” David effused.
Harper’s mother Victoria also posted the same video on her Instagram page, referring to her teenage daughter as her ‘best friend’. Alongside the heartwarming video, fashion mogul Victoria wrote: “Happy birthday to my best friend. You are sweet and kind and your smile warms our hearts every day. You truly are our everything Harper Seven, and we are so proud of the happy, beautiful, and talented young lady you are becoming. We love you so much. Kisses.”
Fan reactions poured in soon after the heartwarming tributes to Harper, expressing their astonishment at the youngest Beckham now being a teen. One struck fan said: “Feels like we’ve all watched her grow up into this beautiful young lady. It’s hard to believe she’s 13. Gorgeous girl.”
Another joined in, lamenting: “I can’t believe Harper Beckham is 13. I’ve never felt so old. What a gorgeous young lady, she is the perfect mix of Victoria and David.”
And another comment read: “She is just perfection. Hard to believe she’s now 13. The years really do fly by.” Eva Longoria, a close mate to Victoria, chimed in with: “Happy birthday beautiful Harper. We love you so much.” While both Yolanda Hadid and Gemma Collins shared: “Happy birthday Harper.”This month also spilled the beans on how David is feeling extra protective with Harper hitting the big 1-3. It’s no secret the proud father-of-four has been especially watchful over his princess Harper Seven since she jumped into his and Victoria’s life in 2011, totally shaking up their parenting game.
With Harper’s significant 13th b-day looming, both David and Victoria reportedly got caught up in a wave of nostalgia and a twinge of nerves about the upcoming teenage adventures. Naturally, Becks is having jitters about his little girl dating as she steps into her teen years, and word is, the footie star isn’t taking it too well.
“David and Harper have such a special bond. He is naturally a protective dad, so obviously, he’s nervous of anyone hurting his little girl. She’s still so young, so a lot of this is hypothetical and he knows any dating will be purely innocent. But he also knows it’s going to get harder for him the older she gets,” a source spilled to Heat magazine.
The insider revealed that David is getting all emotional these days, what with little Harper Seven growing up fast and taking after her mum in the fashion and beauty stakes. “Over the past few months, Harper has really started changing,” they dished.
“She’s getting dressed up a lot more, using make-up, having her hair done, going out with friends, and is always chatting about fashion and beauty with her mum. In some ways, David yearns for those days when she was still little.”
