Victoria Beckham Reveals Secret to 26-Year David Beckham Marriage

by

David and Victoria Beckham have been together for over 25 years, ever since they first met and began their relationship.

Victoria Beckham, who rose to fame as a Spice Girl and now runs a fashion label, is talking about what makes her 26-year marriage work. She says a key to their success is simply growing and changing alongside each other.

It’s common for people in relationships to say to each other, ‘You’ve changed,’ and Victoria explains that’s perfectly natural. In a recent interview with ELLE, she pointed out that people evolve over time – you’re bound to be different at 50 than you were at 20. She and her husband began their relationship in 1997 and married two years later.

One of the most important things I’ve learned is the power of truly supporting your partner, especially when things get hard. My husband, for example, was my biggest champion when I started my fashion design journey back in 2008. He didn’t just believe in my vision, he *invested* in it. There were definitely times when people doubted me, even made fun of my business, but he never wavered. Having someone who consistently believes in you, even when others don’t, is invaluable.

Victoria has consistently supported her husband, even during difficult times, such as in 2004 when a former assistant claimed they had an affair while he played for Real Madrid.

Okay, so David Beckham totally shut down those rumors about cheating, and honestly, it’s such a relief! It’s been awful seeing all this drama. He and Victoria – you know, the parents of Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and little Harper – have both talked about how much the media circus around those claims hurt their marriage. I mean, can you imagine? They’ve been through so much, and it’s just upsetting to see people trying to tear them apart. I’m just glad they’re addressing it and sticking together, they’re the perfect couple!

Victoria Beckham, known as Posh Spice, shared in the 2023 Netflix documentary *Beckham* that she and David went through a very difficult time when they first married in 1999, feeling like everyone was against them.

To be honest, we used to be rivals. Before Madrid, it often felt like it was just us against the world. We were a team, we were close, and we relied on each other. But even during the trip to Spain, that connection seemed to fade, and that’s really disappointing.

David shared that Victoria means the world to him. He described how painful it was to see her struggling, but emphasized their determination to support each other and protect their family. He believes their relationship was, and is, worth every effort.

Look back at Victoria and David’s relationship.

David Beckham and Victoria Adams became engaged in January 1998 after dating for just a few months.

In the summer of 1999, a famous Manchester United soccer player married a member of the Spice Girls in a castle near Dublin. They sold exclusive photos of their wedding to *OK! Magazine* for a private amount, but they often share memories from their special day on their anniversary.

Victoria and her partner felt an instant connection when they first met. “It was truly love at first sight,” she told *Elle* magazine. “He said he went home and wrote my number down on everything he could find, just in case he lost it!”

He’s a globally recognized soccer star, and she’s a former Spice Girl who’s also a successful fashion designer. As a couple, they consistently attract a lot of attention from the media, especially at events like the 2008 ESPY Awards.

The couple shares four children together: Brooklyn, Harper, Romeo and Cruz Beckham.

Even with their children growing up in the spotlight, their parents always made time for family activities, like attending the opening night of the Spice Girls musical *Viva Forever* in December 2012.

Even with demanding jobs, this couple prioritizes spending quality time together. For example, they famously coordinated their outfits – both wearing white – at the 2014 Met Gala.

In July 2017, David celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary by sharing a heartfelt message to his wife, praising her as an amazing partner, mother, and successful businesswoman.

Victoria and David Beckham regularly celebrate milestones – from birthdays and holidays to special occasions and anniversaries – and often share these moments with their fans online. For example, on her birthday in 2018, Victoria posted, “Love u so so much @davidbeckham x Thank u for making my birthday so special x The perfect day!! All 6 of us together x kisses x.”

The designer shared with Grazia that she and David prioritize spending quality time together, both as a couple and as a family. They feel secure in their relationship and don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone. Their love and support for each other makes them a strong partnership and a strong family unit.

David shared that his family is very close-knit and that his parents instilled good values in him and his siblings while they were growing up.

In January 2018, the couple attended a Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week, demonstrating their shared passion for fashion.

Everyone was focused on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018, but two other celebrity guests also stood out and caught a lot of attention.

It’s been wonderful watching the Beckham children grow up over the years, and a particularly sweet moment was seeing Brooklyn, dressed in a coordinating tailored suit with his parents, at the 2019 GQ Men of the Year Awards.

Victoria Beckham is famous for her stylish and glamorous fashion sense. In 2022, she showcased her collection at Paris Fashion Week, and the whole family-including her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz Beckham-came to support her.

In October 2023, Victoria and David Beckham attended the premiere of David’s new Netflix documentary, *Beckham*. Victoria shared on Instagram how proud she was of David and all of his accomplishments.

I was absolutely touched by what I saw online! David, ever the perfect gentleman, carried his wife after her 50th birthday party on April 20th. She shared the sweetest message on her Instagram story – she said she felt so incredibly special, not just that night, but all week, and throughout their amazing years together. It was so heartwarming, and she finished with a beautiful ‘Thank you. I love you so much!’ It just shows how much they adore each other.
