When they’re not dancing around empty football stadiums to the Spice Girls and flirting in the kitchen, David and Victoria Beckham love to make fun of each other.
On Tuesday, the former footballer took to Instagram to tease his wife over a recent photograph their son Cruz shared on the social media platform.
In the snap, the mother and son wear matching white bathrobes, with Victoria showing of a rarely seen full-teeth smile.

‘Apparently my mum does smile,’ the teenager captioned the photograph.
David later took to the comments section of the post to make fun of his wife and made a hilarious Friends reference.
‘How white are mums @victoriabeckham teeth ? it's Ross from friends [sic],’ he wrote on the post.
Friends fans will know that the father-of-four’s comment refers to the episode in which Ross (David Schwimmer) has his teeth whitened before a date and ends up with a blinding white smile.
Several of Cruz’ followers subsequently commented on the post, encouraging Victoria to smile more in photos.
‘She looks gorgeous when she smiles,’ one user wrote.
Another added: ‘Gorgeous smile.’
This isn’t the first time the former athlete has trolled his wife over her preference not to smile in photos.
In 2013, he shared a sweet photograph of his wife on Facebook during a trip to China, which has since been removed.
‘See I told you she smiles,’ he captioned the photograph which shows the fashion designer mid laughter.
In September, the 46-year-old opened up about her lack of self confidence and not smiling in photos.
‘I want to be honest. In the past, I’ve probably hidden behind my armour, the not smiling publicly, for instance. There’s less of that now,’ she told Glamour magazine last September.
‘There’s something really liberating about embracing who I am at 45 years old and owning it, feeling confident, feeling content.’
