With their birthdays just a fortnight apart, David Beckham and wife Posh Spice have been given a birthday treat by friends Tom cruise and Katie Holmes.

The present is a lavish weekend away in Cruise’s Californian retreat.

Apparently the Cruise’s did not know what to gift the wealthy couple and then decided to treat the pair with a romantic break at their mansion in California’s Napa Valley.

Tom Cruise surprised the couple at the former Spice Girls’ birthday dinner last month and also threw in his own private jet for the couple to use on their vacation.

A source told Britain’s Hello magazine: “Tom Cruise and Katie told Posh at her 34th birthday dinner in Los Angeles that they wanted her and David to make use of their property for a weekend away.

“They insisted that it should be just the two of them and that they should thoroughly spoil themselves after their hectic few months they’ve both had.

“Tom even booked his jet for them and told them they had to be at a private airfields at a specific time so work commitments couldn’t get in the way.”
