David and Victoria Beckham, a globally influential couple, both possess an estimated net worth of around $450 million. They crossed paths in 1997 at a football match and subsequently married just two years later. The couple shares four children: three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, along with a daughter named Harper. Remarkably, they’ve maintained their marriage for an impressive 24 years, a rarity in the world of celebrity.
Their love story began with a moment of mutual attraction. David, a football star, was watching the Spice Girls on TV when he pointed to Victoria and told his friend, “I want to marry that one.” They eventually met in the players’ lounge of Manchester United, where Victoria too fell for David instantly.
In 2004, just five years into their marriage, David faced controversy due to allegations of an affair with his former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos. While in Madrid, it was claimed that they were intimate several times throughout a trip when David felt lonely.
Amid these rumors, David withdrew from a Champions League match with Real Madrid to take a Switzerland ski vacation with Victoria and their two eldest sons. The club granted him compassionate leave to attend to his personal matters.
Over the years, there were rumors linking David to other women, including Charlize Theron and Poppy Delevigne, but no concrete evidence of affairs. He developed a “close friendship” with Mary Charteris, a socialite, who was also connected to the divorce of Kate Moss and Jamie Hince.
