Looks like Victoria and David Beckham are having the last laugh against their haters. The two celebrated 25 years of marriage recently. On their\u00a0 23rd wedding anniversary in 2022, former Spice Girl posted a throwback picture of the couple on Instagram. \u201cThey say he isn\u2019t funny, they say I never smile, they said it wouldn\u2019t last. Today we celebrate 23 years of being married. David you are my everything, I love you so much.\u201d David also commemorated the occasion with some throwback pictures, writing, \u201c23 years ago today Posh became Mrs. Beckham, but she will always be Posh. Happy Anniversary WOW 23 years & 4 beautiful kiddies. I love you; we all love you.\u201d He also shared an interview from the 90s when the couple was interviewed by Sacha Baron Cohen as his character, Ali G.<\/p>\n

In the interview, the two discussed how they met at a soccer game in 1997. David had actually seen<\/a> Victoria some weeks before officially meeting her while at a hotel and remarking to a friend that he wanted to marry her. When he met her a few weeks later at a game, he missed the opportunity to ask for her number but had another chance a week later at another match. He asked for the pop singer\u2019s number, which she wrote on a plane ticket. David still has the ticket to this day. The two would marry two years later at a castle in Ireland exactly four months after the birth of their first son. True to Victoria\u2019s moniker as \u201cPosh Spice,\u201d the wedding was extremely lavish with thrones for the couple and a tiara for Posh. 25 years later, the couple has 4 children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.<\/p>\n

Twenty-five years is a long time for any marriage, but especially for such a high-powered celebrity couple like the Beckhams. They have been involved in very high-profile events, such as when the family moved to LA for David\u2019s contract with the LA Galaxy and attending the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Yet the two have maintained a fairly down-to-earth home life, with Victoria sharing how she has banned her daughter, 10, from social media for fear of body shaming. She also shared her daughter\u2019s horror at her mom\u2019s Spice Girls fashion sense. In an article with The Independent<\/a>, Victoria said, \u201cShe actually said to me recently, \u2018Mummy, I\u2019ve seen some pictures of you when you were in the Spice Girls and your skirts were just unacceptable. They were just too short\u2019. Then David piped up and said, \u2018Absolutely Harper! They really, really were.’ And she was actually quite disgusted at how short my skirts were.\u201d In an interview with the Daily Mail, when asked for marriage advice, Victoria said, \u201cWe support each other in everything that we do. But it\u2019s about having fun, enjoying that person\u2019s company, I genuinely love being with him.\u201d With 25 years under their belt and hopefully many more to come, it seems like apt advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
