Fans were quick to react on the cuteness overload, with one writing: "So sweet! Happy Birthday to your sister!" Another stated: "This is cute."

Despite the seven-year age gap between the siblings, both David and Joanne share a close bond. She is a doting aunt to David and Victoria's four children - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper - and has previously shared candid snapshots of the famous family on her now-defunct Instagram page.
