Former football star David Beckham had a major incident in 1998. According to Victoria, Beckham had psychological problems after this event.
David Beckham and Victoria always receive attention from the audience. After many ups and downs, Beckham and his wife are preparing to celebrate 28 years together.
As the most famous couple in England, Mr. and Mrs. Becks are used to fame and the limelight. However, the “horrific” incident of David Beckham in 1998 and the consequences that followed caused the former England player’s family to make important changes every time they leave the house.
Specifically, the incident took place at the 1998 World Cup. In this match, Beckham received a red card after kicking Diego Simeone of Argentina. Playing with one less player, England later lost in the penalty shootout and was eliminated from the tournament. Returning home, Beckham received countless criticisms, even some extremist fans made death threats.
According to Victoria, Beckham suffered psychological problems after this event. The couple’s relationship, which was not married at the time, was also affected. In a recent interview, Mrs. Becks admitted that this was a difficult experience.
“When it happened, David was the same age as Romeo is now (Romeo is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Becks, now 22 years old). If Romeo had to face that, I don’t know how he would get through it. I don’t know if anyone can get through those things. But at that time, we had no choice but to get through it,” Victoria admitted.
This incident made Victoria change her mind. Looking at her children, Victoria did not want them to suffer the same things. Therefore, the designer born in 1974 decided to live a more private life with her family, limiting sharing about her private life with the media.
“You go through things and they change you. We’re more closed off now. In the past, I used to enjoy being chased on the streets. But that’s not the case anymore,” Victoria said.
The “handsome and beautiful” couple David Beckham and Victoria got married in 1999. The couple has 4 children: Brooklyn, 25 years old, Romeo, 22 years old, Cruz, 19 years old, and the youngest Harper, 13 years old. At that time, Harper did not have a social media account and was still living with her parents. Meanwhile, the 3 Becks sons had all moved out.
David Beckham and his wife’s beauty when they were young and now.
Notably, in a recent Instagram video promoting the new perfume Victoria Beckham Beauty Suite 302, Victoria Beckham (50 years old) shared a memorable story about a date more than 2 decades ago with her husband David Beckham (49 years old).
David Beckham’s wife was a member of the Spice Girls. The former footballer previously said that when they met, they were only 21 and 22 years old. When they got married, Beckham and Victoria were 23 and 24 years old, and soon after, the British footballer became a father after welcoming his first son, Brooklyn. At such a young age, it is clear that a child will place great burdens and responsibilities on the couple.
David Beckham is currently busy pursuing business interests with fashion and beauty brands. He is the co-owner and President of the Inter Miami football club. Looking back on his illustrious football career, the English star shared:
“I’m very happy. I feel very lucky to have this career, to play for big teams and to experience that. And one thing I always tell myself is how lucky I am to have met Victoria.
I always wanted kids to be with me throughout my career and I’ve been lucky enough to have three boys with me through the teams I’ve played for. They’re a really important part of my life.”
The family of 6 often shares sweet pictures on social media. The eldest son Brooklyn is currently married to his wife Nicola Peltz in 2022. Stories surrounding the Beckham family always attract media attention.
