10 Victoria And David Beckham Quotes On Their Marriage And Family

In a 2015 on-stage interview, the former Spice Girl said, 'What I really liked about David right from the start is that when all the other players were in the lounge afterward having a drink with their friends. David was sitting with his mum and dad and his younger sister. I'm really close to my family, he's very close to his and I just thought that was really nice.'

She told Vogue Netherlands, 'David and I have a lot of fun together. If I really was as miserable as I look in some of those paparazzi pictures, my children wouldn't be as happy as they are. And I certainly wouldn't be married anymore.'

She joked about her dedication to work in a 2014 article with the Guardian, 'When I'm lying in bed I think about the next collection. That makes me sound insane, doesn't it? That I'm getting into bed with David Beckham and thinking about clothes.'

In a letter written to her 18 year-old self for Vogue she wrote, 'In marriage: have patience. Bite your tongue. Be supportive. And preserve a bit of mystique...Never let yourself go completely (at least brush your hair, clean your teeth, have a bit of a brow going on because you will always want him to look at you and feel attracted).'

She told PEOPLE, 'He likes things done a certain way, which is great because I leave a mess everywhere I go. That’s why we are good partners. I leave a mess and he tidies it up.'

Whilst accepting her Glamour award she thanked her husband, 'Running a business, my work with UNAIDS and most importantly, being a mum, wouldn’t be possible without David...Not only is he the most incredible father, but he’s supportive and someone who loves and inspires me every single day.'

On Desert Island Discs he said, 'Of course you make mistakes over the years, and we all know marriage is difficult at times. It’s about working through it...We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, "Do we stay together because it’s a brand?" Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children. "Do you go through tough times?" Of course. That’s part of relationships. It’s part of marriages. It’s part of having children. It’s part of having responsibilities.'

The footballer wrote: ' You deserve to be spoilt by your husband and our gorgeous children...In 42 years you have been able to achieve so much and it feels you are only just starting.'

In 2010 David told the press, 'Then, I was watching TV and there was a Spice Girls video on and I said (to Manchester United star Gary Neville): "See the girl in the dark, short dress? I'm going to marry her."'

In an 2017 interview with Desert Island Discs he joked about their over the top nuptials, 'Unbelievable. What was I thinking?'
