He also admitted he’d love to see a Spice Girls reunion
Sir David Beckham revealed his secret to a 27-year marriage with Victoria Beckham as he opened up about life as a partnership.
Former football star Sir David Beckham married Spice Girls icon Victoria Beckham in 1999, with them since giving birth to their four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
Victoria first rose to fame in the 90s as a member of The Spice Girls, alongside Melanie “Mel B” Brown, Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell-Horner.
Before starting her successful career in fashion, Lady Beckham featured on the track Out Of Your Mind with True Steppers and Dane Bowers, and released her eponymous debut solo album in 2001, reaching number 10 on the albums chart.
She also released the songs A Mind Of Its Own in 2002 which charted at number six, followed by This Groove/Let Your Head Go in 2004, which reached number three.
For many years, fans have been hoping that the Spice Girls would reunite on stage after officially disbanding over 25 years ago. The group has reunited for several special events, including The Return of the Spice Girls Tour in 2007, but David admitted he’d love for them to perform again.
In an interview with Variety, he said: “Look, I’m a Spice Girls fan and always have been. I ended up marrying a Spice Girl, so now I’m even more of a Spice Girls fan than I was back in the day. Everyone was a Spice Girls fan! It doesn’t surprise me but still shocks me a little bit just how popular they are all over the world.
“I’m not sure there’s many girl bands that have been together for that long that have that much of a following. I’ve always tried to get my wife to perform again. I think they’re all doing their own thing and are busy, but I’m always hoping for the girls to get back together and perform at some point.”
Revealing his favourite song, he continued: “‘Say You’ll Be There.’. That was the song that I first saw Victoria performing and I turned around to my friend and said, ‘I’m going to marry that girl’. And I did it! I stalked her down and I did it.”
Over recent months, their family has been at the front and centre of major headlines after eldest son Brooklyn posted an explosive statement where he informed followers that he had removed himself from the family.
Asked about the situation, Lady Beckham told The Wall Street Journal: “I think that we’ve always – we love our children so much. We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be, and you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children, and you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”
When asked about the “feud” in the interview, David responded: “I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter. That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.”
However, David and Victoria’s marriage still remains strong after 27 years, and David spilled the secret of a successful partnership. He gushed: “We’ve been married for 27 years this July. We’ve been together for 29 years. We’ve got four incredible kids. We’ve got businesses that we work hard on.
“But we always make time for each other, and we always have. I want Victoria to be the best version of herself, and vice versa. And as busy as we are, our family always comes first. That’s our priority, and that’s what makes it work when you’ve been together for so long. Our priority will always be our family.”
