On the occasion of turning 50, Victoria Beckham has just revealed the secret to her happy marriage with football star David Beckham for the past 25 years.

In an interview with Elle magazine (Spain), British fashion designer Victoria Beckham (50 years old) revealed the secret of her marriage. Victoria has maintained a happy marriage with former football star David Beckham (48 years old) for the past 25 years.

First of all, for Victoria, David is an inspiration. Then, she always tries to bring laughter into family life. Victoria said: “My husband is my inspiration. We always try to bring joy, humor, conversation, activities like dancing, dancing, having drinks together…

Especially, we always laugh and joke with each other. That is my secret to a happy marriage. I believe in the power of laughter, friendship and family. At this point, my family has probably become a kind of model. People like to see long-lasting relationships.”

In a post congratulating his wife on her 50th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day, former football star David Beckham wrote: “Happy 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day to my beautiful wife. As you reach this milestone, look back on your journey and be proud of what you have achieved and built.

I am a famous singer, a successful businesswoman, and the wife of a famous football player. But my greatest achievement is my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. I have led them, loved them, and taught them. They love me more than words can express. My whole family loves me very much.”

In fact, Victoria was once engaged to an electrician named Mark Wood. He worked for the electrical supply company owned by Victoria’s father. For some reason, he lived in Victoria’s family home for a period of time. Victoria and the electrical engineer had a romantic relationship.

In 1994, Mark Wood proposed to Victoria, who was 20 at the time, and she accepted. But two years later, they broke up. Looking back, Victoria briefly shared: “For some reason, we got engaged. He was an electrical engineer. I think it was the fact that he lived in our family home that made me decide that.”

After her relationship with Mark Wood, Victoria devoted herself to singing with the Spice Girls. Fate brought her to her future husband – football star David Beckham.

David Beckham first met Victoria when he saw her wearing a 𝓈ℯ𝓍y black catsuit in the Spice Girls’ music video Say You’ll Be There . At that moment, David fell in love with Victoria, even though they had never met.

David once revealed: “Once, when I was sitting with Gary Neville (David’s former teammate at Manchester United), the Spice Girls music video appeared on TV, I turned to Gary and said: “I like that singer in the tight black catsuit”.

The first time David and Victoria met in person was after a football match in 1997, when David was 22 years old and Victoria was 23. The midfielder from Manchester United had secretly liked Victoria before, so he decided to approach and conquer her.

During that meeting, David mustered up the courage to approach and introduce himself to Victoria. Recalling his career relationship with Victoria at that time, David said: “At that time, Victoria was very famous, and I was just starting to build my career at Manchester United.

The first time we spoke, we sat together for about an hour. In fact, Victoria was a little drunk during that meeting. She later said she didn’t remember much about our first meeting. When she left, she wrote her phone number on a train ticket and gave it to me. I still have that ticket.”

When they got together, David and Victoria Beckham quickly became a power couple in international showbiz. After 2 years of dating, the couple decided to get married in 1999. At the time of the wedding, they already had their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 together.

Looking back on her lasting marriage with David Beckham, Victoria is very proud: “People used to say that our marriage would not last. From the moment we got married, people always said that, and now, we are still together.”
