David Beckham Says He “Absolutely” Experienced Love at First Sight With Victoria Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham are out here being cute again, so come hither.
During a recent convo with People, David recalled meeting Victoria in 1997, saying it was “absolutely” a love-at-first-sight situation. “Well, of course,” he gushed, going on to state the obvious: “She was a Spice Girl and sexy and beautiful and charming.” The star soccer (sorry, football) player proceeded to add, “Then I found out what a strong woman she is. So it’s again the gift that kept on giving.”
In the event you’re wondering how these two met, David went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and said (via the Mirror), “She came to a football match—soccer match—and I said hi from across the room and that was it. I thought I’d missed my chance, and then a week later she turned up at another football match.”
The former soccer pro reminisced on that second meeting with Jimmy Fallon and recalled that he and Posh “talked for about an hour in the players’ lounge and then she actually got the train up that day, so she wrote her number down on her train ticket, which I still have.”
Meanwhile, Victoria told Vogue the following in a letter to her younger self: “While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage—you are the famous one.)…And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you.”
