The former Spice Girl, 41, was first to post on Instagram, sharing a shot of the whole family looking glamorous. “Happy anniversary, I love u so much x,” she wrote. “I’m so proud of our beautiful family x”.

About two hours later, David, 40, also took to Instagram to mark the special occasion. “16 years ago today was our special day,” he wrote sharing a black and white pic of the smiling couple. “16 years on we have our beautiful children. Thank you for giving me our amazing little ones. Happy anniversary.”
