How did Victoria and David fall in love with each other?
The footballer first saw Victoria in a music video in 1997. At that time, she was a member of the Spice Girls. While watching it, Beckham told a friend that this girl would become his wife.

The couple first met at a party after a football match. The singer liked the Manchester United player and left her phone number on the football tickets. Interestingly, David still keeps them.
When Beckham returned home from the party, he wrote down her number on six sheets of paper so he wouldn't lose it. They went on their first date to a Chinese pub in London and have been practically inseparable ever since.
A year after meeting, the football player proposed to his girlfriend.

Pregnancy and a luxurious wedding
As soon as they began to think about organizing the wedding, Victoria found out that she was pregnant. On March 4, 1999, the couple's first child, Brooklyn, was born.
Four months later, a luxurious wedding took place in the 16th-century Irish castle of Luttrellstone.
The bride walked down the aisle with her son in her arms. This moment touched Beckham deeply.

Victoria wore a dress by American designer Vera Wang. Her wedding outfit cost about forty thousand dollars, and she wore a precious diamond tiara. In total, the couple invited about three hundred friends to the solemn event.

The entire celebration cost the couple about $800,000. Immediately after the wedding, they purchased a luxurious estate, the price of which reached $4 million and the area – 97,000 square meters. Their magnificent wedding and the purchased housing were equated in scale to the standards of the royal family, so David and Victoria's mansion was called “Beckham Palace.”
After this development of events, Victoria Adams put her singing career on hold and devoted herself entirely to her family. But at the same time, a love for fashion began.
The most difficult period in the Beckhams' lives
In 2002, the couple had a second son, Romeo. A year later, the boy was diagnosed with epilepsy. David moved to Spain after being sold to Real Madrid, while Victoria stayed in London with the children.
During that period, the footballer had an assistant, Rebecca Loos, who was supposed to help him settle in the country. The media wrote that Beckham was repeatedly seen with a woman in restaurants and hotels. Moreover, Victoria allegedly called her husband's new acquaintance and asked “where in the contract are dinners with her husband written down?”.

Later, Rebecca herself contacted the press and stated that she really had an affair with the football player. She assured that she had repeatedly entered into an intimate relationship with him. Beckham himself rejected all the statements, saying that he had an incredible wife.
The couple finally reconciled in 2005. Then their third son, Cruz, was born.
Moving to the USA and starting a new life
In 2007, the star family decided to move to the United States, as David signed a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy. The couple immediately became welcome guests at various famous and social events.
At the same time, Victoria decided to take a very important step – she released her debut jeans collection called Victoria Beckham for Rock&Republic.
In 2011, they were guests of honor at the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William, an invitation that was only given to a select few. Two months later, their daughter Harper was born. In an interview, David admitted that she changed his life once and for all.

In 2013, David ended his football career, and Victoria still continues to be passionate about fashion.
Why doesn't the eldest son communicate with his parents?
In April 2022, Brooklyn married actress Nicola Peltz. There were already many rumors in the press about a family rift, but last year things only got worse.
An insider said that Victoria Beckham promised to make a dress for her, and Nicole said that it would be an honor for her. But later the fashion designer changed her mind. Then another source called this information “far from the truth”, as if the media is trying to discredit the Beckhams-seniors.
Another extremely awkward moment occurred at the wedding itself (by the way, it was confirmed by Brooklyn Beckham himself). Marc Anthony was supposed to perform a song as a gift to the newlyweds.
Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come up to the stage, and then said: “Let the most beautiful woman in the room come here tonight… Victoria Beckham!” It was such a striking moment that the entire room was shocked – you could hear a pin drop,
– insiders recalled.

Brooklyn confirmed that his parents tried to destroy his relationship with Nicola and ruin the wedding. According to him, Victoria refused to make the bride's dress “at the last minute” and at the celebration she disrupted the couple's first dance.
The eldest son of the Beckhams added that his mother constantly invited women from his past to events. He also commented on his father's anniversary and said that he came to London with his wife to meet, but was refused. In the end, David agreed to meet, on the condition that Never will be. So the family was never reunited.
