It's been 25 years since David and Victoria Beckham said "I do" at the Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. In that time, they welcomed four children (Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12), became a global brand, weathered a cheating scandal and maintained equally successful careers - she as a Spice Girl turned fashion designer, he as a world champion soccer player (who currently co-owns Major League Soccer's Inter Miami team).
Behind the glitz, glamour and matching outfits, David, 49, and Victoria, 50, have revealed themselves to be far more relatable and down-to-earth than previously believed, both on social media (where she's trolled him over his Legos collection and he's playfully called her out for being "dramatic" following a morning workout) and in the 2023 Netflix docuseries, Beckham, which chronicles David's journey from his humble beginnings to cultural icon.
In the series, we learn of the inner workings of their marriage the humor and everything in between. (In a scene that spawned a viral TikTok challenge, the pair dance to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's 1983 duet, "Islands in the Stream," in their kitchen.) "Do we look like the couple seen in the Netflix documentary? Yes," Victoria told Elle Spain in April. "We like to have fun, chat, dance, drink. And laugh at each other. We create moments for ourselves," she added, noting that she and David prefer their quiet the heartache, life at home over Hollywood parties. "Sorry to disappoint you, but we are a normal couple: we have dinner and go to bed early. At 20, we never went clubbing, and at 50, that hasn't changed!"
