David Beckham has reflected on his relationship with wife Victoria and admitted they both wondered how they have made it given all that they’ve been through.
The former Manchester United and England footballer, 49, and Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer, 50, have been together for 27 years and will celebrate their silver wedding anniversary in July.
They got the chance to revisit some the highs and lows of their almost three decades together while making Netflix docu-series Beckham last year.
While acknowledging it was “emotional” for them to watch, David said he is grateful that they have a beautiful and family and are still happy despite all the “ups and downs”.
Appearing on the latest edition of the SmartLess podcast, which goes on general release on Monday, May 20, the dad-of-four said he is “so happy” at where his life is now.
He said: “That’s one of the things we both, me and Victoria, probably both get emotional about, and after watching the documentary after everything was over and we watched it finally,
that’s the one thing that we looked at each other and was like, “I don’t know how we got through the last 27 years, but we did and we have an amazing family, amazing business and we’re happy.”
“And yeah, of course, when you’re with someone for that amount of time, of course you have your ups and downs, everybody knows that and at the end of the day we were lucky because we had each other at those moments.
“You know, she was a Spice Girl, I was playing for Manchester United, and even when we were going through the difficult times, we actually had each other to feed off and that was the best part.
“Obviously we were 21 and 22 when we met. We got married when we was 23 and 24 and we had our first son when I was 23, so as soon as we had our first son, Brooklyn, that also added another layer to the family and our responsibilities then were to our son.”
David, who retired from professional football in 2013, says he considers himself “blessed” and “lucky” to have been able to enjoy a successful career in tandem with being a father.
He said: “I’m so happy. I am very happy because I feel very blessed to have had the career that I’ve had and played for the teams that I have and experienced that.
“And the one thing that I always wanted for me, I was lucky I met Victoria when I met her because I always wanted to have kids young.
“I always wanted to have kids that lived through my career with me and I was lucky the three boys all lived through most of the teams that I played for and that, for me, was a really important part of my life.”
