David Beckham, the 49-year-old athlete and global icon, recently shared candid insights about his family and the possibility of a Spice Girls reunion in an exclusive cover story for Variety.
In the interview, Beckham opened up about a memorable moment involving the Spice Girls, highlighting the excitement surrounding a potential reunion for his wife Victoria’s 50th birthday celebration.
Reflecting on the gathering of all the Spice Girls under one roof, Beckham expressed his own enthusiasm, saying, “I know it’s what people want, but in all honesty, I think I was the most excited of anyone. The fact that, obviously, we had all of the girls in one room. All of the girls haven’t been on a stage together for over 15 years. So, to have them all there, to have them all up on stage, to have our youngest son playing guitar? It was a special moment.”
Despite this joyous occasion, Beckham dashed hopes of a full-fledged Spice Girls tour, explaining, “Unfortunately, that’s not happening. Victoria was so pleased to see the girls, and it was a massive part of her life, the girls, but obviously, all the girls have got their own things going on. They will do certain things together at certain times. But Victoria’s full on with her beauty and fashion businesses. If anyone’s busier than me, it’s her.”
Delving deeper into his relationship with Victoria, Beckham shared heartfelt insights into the real person behind the public persona. He referenced Victoria’s personality in their recent documentary, which provided viewers with a more intimate look into his wife and their everyday life together. “I think Victoria came out with this documentary and everyone was like, ‘Oh, my God, that person that David’s been saying about for the last 27 years, that is her.’ It’s not just about the non-smile and the pout. That’s what I see every single day,” Beckham revealed, emphasizing the genuine admiration and understanding he has for his wife beyond her public image.
Throughout the interview, Beckham’s affection and pride for his family shone through, underscoring his deep bond with Victoria and their children. As a devoted husband and father, Beckham continues to support Victoria’s endeavors while navigating his own professional ventures and commitments.
