David Beckham is reflecting on the ups and downs he and his wife, Victoria Beckham, faced throughout their 27-year marriage.
“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, we have amazing businesses and we’re happy,’” David, 49, said, referring to the 2023 Beckham series, on the upcoming Monday, May 20, episode of the “SmartLess” podcast per People.

David noted that he and Victoria, 50, “both get emotional” when recalling their relationship through the years. He added, “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,” he said.
David and Victoria exchanged vows in 1999 after meeting two years prior. The couple share sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19, as well as daughter Harper, 12.
“Obviously we were 21 and 22 when we met,” David said. “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.”
