It’s been more than a quarter century since David Beckham and Victoria Beckham first spiced up each other’s lives.
Now, the Spice Girls singer-turned-fashion designer is sharing insight into the couple’s 26-year marriage. One of the reasons for its success? Growing and evolving together.
“So often in relationships, one will say to the other, ‘You’ve changed.’ Well, of course you’ve changed!” Victoria—who began her relationship with the soccer icon in 1997, two years before they tied the knot—told ELLE in a cover interview published Sept. 18. “You’re a different person when you’re 20 than when you’re 50.”
And then there’s actually supporting your partner during tough times. “He believed in me when a lot of people didn’t,” said the 51-year-old, who began her fashion design career in 2008. “He invested in me. At times I’ve been a laughingstock, people not taking my business seriously, but he always believed in me.”
Victoria has in turn stood by her husband, including in 2004 when his former personal assistant alleged the two had had an affair when he was playing for Real Madrid.
