Katherine Jenkins shared details of her 46th birthday in a series of Instagram snaps after celebrating the big day at Wimbledon on Monday.
The opera icon enjoyed an afternoon tea with her husband Andrew Levitas, 48, and Mary Berry, 91, at the first day of the tournament, during which she received a trio of desserts alongside a birthday message written in chocolate on her plate.
She was also treated to a tennis-themed cake while enjoying a martini after changing into a pretty white strapless dress and shared snaps showing the couple posing up a storm courtside with the pristine green on display behind them.
Aside from festivities, her trip to Wimbledon saw her experience an awkward run-in with Sir David Beckham, 51, nine years after their OBE drama.
Katherine received an OBE from King Charles III in November, in the wake of leaked emails being published in 2017, in which he is said to have slammed Katherine and questioned why she received an OBE when he had not secured the accolade.

The opera star was awarded an OBE in 2014, for services to various charities and her travelling to war zones to entertain the troops. David’s knighting by King Charles III is in recognition of his services to sport and charity.
Katherine looked stunning for her birthday day out as she wowed in a white dress with a spotted pattern and posed alongside her dashing husband.
While the pair giggled and shared sweet moments with fellow viewers from within the Royal Box, a notable gap remained between her and the sporting legend.
Following similar arrangements to last year’s Wimbledon, she was seated in the row behind Sir David, but didn’t interact with the star.
The scandal rocked the showbiz world, with hacked emails also suggesting allegations surrounding his stance on the Scottish referendum and investing in loss-making companies to reduce his tax bill.
Sir David’s representatives dismissed the claims at the time, stating that the emails had been ‘hacked and doctored’ from a private account.

A spokesperson said: ‘This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.’
Katherine and Sir David had allegedly been at odds years earlier, when she took to Twitter in 2012 to deny internet rumours that they’d had an affair, a decision which reportedly left the England star utterly furious.
In 2018, Katherine claimed she was still waiting for an apology from the sports star for the alleged comments he made in the leaked emails.
Speaking about the shock comments Sir David made towards her, Katherine admitted she has no reason to feel anything but proud of her achievements.

The opera star and her husband, Andrew Levitas, chatted with Classic FM radio presenter and actor Alexander Armstrong, while Sir David sat quietly with his mother Sandra
She explained: ‘You’re just minding your own business and you get caught up in this massive storm. You just think, “Aw, I wasn’t doing anything”. To get caught up in that wasn’t pleasant. I don’t know why, again, that was aimed at me.’
‘I also don’t feel the need to defend this, by the way. I know what I’ve done and when I got the OBE it was given to me for music, and for charity.’
When asked whether she was angry with Sir David for his alleged comments, Katherine added: ‘It’s obviously disappointing. I’ve never heard anything from them about it.’
