The couple’s relationship has always been a fan favorite for the two and a half decades they’ve been together. Still, they continue to remind us why they are so iconic.
The power duo of the British soccer legend David Beckham and his wife, Spice Girl-turned-fashion maven Victoria “Posh” Beckham, now have four kids. However, they will always be the adorable “Posh and Becks” to their many fans. What sets the Beckhams’ union apart is that it has transcended time and pop culture into a global fascination. So whether you’re glued to Netflix’s latest documentary, Beckham, or simply captivated by this uber-celebrity pairing, here is a breakdown of their relationship so far.
1997: Love At First Sight
David did not ask Posh out the first time he saw her, but he did the second time. Where? At the Manchester United lounge game in 1997, where he’d seen her the first time at a previous game. Opening up on The Tonight Show in 2020, the retired soccer player shared that he asked for her number. “She actually wrote her number down on the train ticket, which I still have.” To Victoria Beckham, however, it was an unforgettable moment. In a letter she wrote to her younger self for Vogue UK in 2016, she shared that she was smitten upon first seeing him. “Love at first sight does exist,” she wrote.
1998: Britain’s Favorite Couple Becomes Engaged
Once they began dating, the British public couldn’t get enough of the couple. They ranked high on user polls, becoming one of the most adored pairs in the country. Notably, both David and Victoria Beckham were already at the forefront of their respective careers. In January 1998, at a press conference held outside a Cheshire, England hotel, the couple made their engagement official. Victoria made sure to flash her $85,000 engagement ring to the cameras. This ring was merely the first among the 15 rings David had given his wife since they’d been together.
1999: Brooklyn Is Born
In the Netflix documentary Beckham, Victoria revealed that she told David she was pregnant just before he played in the 16th round of the World Cup in June 1998. The U.K. eventually lost the game. Nonetheless, the couple would welcome their firstborn, Brooklyn, on March 4, 1999. Victoria shared how she and her husband came by the name in her autobiography Learning to Fly. “I had always liked the name Brooke, and then we suddenly thought about Brooklyn,” she wrote. “It was later that I realized how appropriate it was because it was in New York that I found out I was pregnant.”

Rebecca Loos, David’s former personal assistant, claimed that she had a four-month affair with the football star. Subsequently, two more women, Celina Laurie and Sarah Marbeck, shared that they also had affairs with David between 2001 and 2002.
