David Beckham and Victoria fell in love when they first met at an event in 1997. At that time, David was just starting to build his career. At the after-match party, the two accidentally met. The mother of four revealed that she had “love at first sight” with David because he had a very attractive smile.
David admitted that he had been a fan of Victoria since she started working with the Spice Girls. The moment the footballer waved to Victoria from the bar, he knew that this girl was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
The former footballer admitted that he was very upset and tormented when he did not have the courage to ask for Victoria’s phone number. However, the former Spice Girl wrote down her contact number and passed it on to David. Once he had Victoria’s phone number, David contacted her to arrange a meeting.
The two British stars quickly started dating and tried to keep it a secret from the media. However, the young couple’s love story was still discovered by paparazzi at that time. They followed the couple everywhere. Finally, they decided to go public with their relationship and became the most powerful couple in Hollywood with a dreamlike love story.
After a year of dating, David got down on one knee and proposed to Victoria with a stunning diamond and emerald ring worth over $85,000. When his eldest son Brooklyn was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, the former footballer decided to have a grand wedding with the woman he loved. The power couple’s wedding of the century was considered one of the most expensive weddings in the world at that time.
The couple’s second son, Romeo James, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 2002. Their two other 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren followed in 2005 and 2011, respectively.
Infidelity scandal nearly broke up dream marriage
In 2004, David Beckham’s first 𝓈ℯ𝓍 scandal broke out. While playing for Real Madrid in Spain, the English soccer star was caught going to a nightclub with a girl.
The New Of The World newspaper confirmed that David and the girl were in a relationship. The woman’s identity was later confirmed to be David’s assistant – Rebecca Loos. When the affair rumors broke out, David denied it.
The assistant’s younger brother admitted to the media that David had an affair. However, he still insisted: “I’m used to reading a series of ridiculous stories about my private life. My marriage is very happy. I have a wonderful wife and 2 very special 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. No third person can change this fact.”
Rebecca refused to give up, she accepted a media interview and confirmed her relationship with the handsome footballer. At this time, Rebecca also faced a wave of criticism from Victoria’s fans. The famous English footballer and his wife had to hire a lawyer to protect and prevent their private information from being spread.
In addition to the affair scandal with assistant Rebecca, David was also suspected of having affairs with Australian model Sarah Marbeck and a girl named Danielle Heath. However, to date, these incidents have all been resolved peacefully.
Model family still makes the world admire
Overcoming many challenges, the Beckhams have successfully protected their love despite always being in the center of media attention. The couple and their four 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren always gather together, sharing warm and sweet moments that make the audience admire and envy.
In addition to two sons Brooklyn, Romeo, David and Victoria, there is also a son Cruz (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 2005) and a daughter Harper Seven (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 2011). The image of the happy 6-member Beckham family received admiration from the public and colleagues.
David admitted that he admires and is grateful to his wife. She is the one behind his career success, sacrificing her own passion and interests to have 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and take care of the family during his professional playing years.
When David retired from professional football, he stepped back to support his wife. He took on the role of taking care of the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and managing the household so that Victoria could freely develop her business and fashion design.
In each stage, David and Victoria always know how to divide the work, accept sacrifices for their partner. In an interview in 2023, the couple confessed that living together is not always easy, but both cherish family values.
David and Victoria’s 27 years of marriage have not only been sweet but also full of challenges. Victoria once confided the key to her and David’s happiness: “We, the six of us, are much stronger when we are together.”
Not only are they good at maintaining their marriage and raising their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, David and Victoria are also very successful in business. According to The Times, the net worth of the couple David Beckham and Victoria is currently around 578 million USD.
The power couple also often spends a lot of money on expensive vacations to strengthen their relationship. Recently, David and Victoria celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on a luxury yacht worth more than 20 million USD in Italy. The former English footballer showed off his strong, muscular body while swimming in the sea. Meanwhile, Victoria relaxed and sunbathed on the deck in a simple two-strap dress.
