25 years of marriage later, David Beckham is still as heart-eyed for wife Victoria Beckham as he was the first day he met her.
Asked at the Stella Artois’ Let’s Do Dinner event in New York City on Sept. 19 whether it was “love at first sight” for him, David told People, “Absolutely.”
Though it goes without saying, he explained, “Well, of course. She was a Spice Girl and sexy and beautiful and charming.”
The former soccer pro added, “Then I found out what a strong woman she is. So it’s again the gift that kept on giving.”
Help, so sweet.
David and Victoria first met in 1997, and were married in 1999. They share children Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.
The famous spouses’ romance has been the stuff of movies right from the beginning, when they would meet up in parking lots to keep their relationship under-the-radar.
