David and Victoria Beckham: together through thick and thin

How they met   
In 1996, the then Posh Spice was enjoying chart-topping success with the Spice Girls, while David was the new golden boy at Manchester United. Victoria fell for David when she went to watch one of his matches, and they married a year later.  

Their secrets
Victoria is crazy about her husband and he is of her. Their famous matching outfits say it all: bordering on the tacky, you might say, but very sweet. They soon became the darlings of the tabloid press. David and Victoria have three sons, Brooklyn, who was born in 1999, Romeo, born in 2002, and Cruz, born in 2005.

Why they're so in love
Posh and Becks have stood by each other through thick and thin: her failed solo career, his humiliation after his sending-off against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, and his infidelity with assistant Rebecca Loos. They even built their very own Beckingham Palace and sat on mock thrones to welcome guests at their wedding. Victoria juggles her career as a fashion designer with being a mum to her three boys, and they still manage to keep their passion alive. Brand Beckham has become a global phenomenon, and is set to become even bigger now he's playing for LA Galaxy in California. Everything they do is scrutinised, right down to their haircuts (a new crop can make the front pages of every tabloid newspaper in the country). David is even said to have agreed to the move to LA because Victoria wants to pursue a career there and be near their friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
