Sir David Beckham, 51, has described his family as his “proudest achievement” while celebrating his wedding anniversary with wife Lady Victoria Beckham. The former England footballer shared a series of photographs on social media spanning their relationship, including images from their wedding day and his 50th birthday celebrations last year.
Anniversary Messages and Family Tributes
“29 years together, 27 years married and you have given me everything I could ever wish for…our proudest achievement will always be our family,” Beckham wrote in his post. “I love you and Happy Anniversary @victoriabeckham.”
Victoria Beckham, 52, responded in the comments: “Happy anniversary. I love you so much.” She also posted a recent photo of her husband smiling as she kissed his cheek, captioning it: “After 27 years of marriage, four amazing children and countless matching outfits, you’re still my *everything*. Happy anniversary!! I love you so much @davidbeckham.”
The couple received messages from famous friends, including chef Gordon Ramsay, who wrote: “Happy Anniversary sending lots of love.” Eva Longoria, godmother to two of their children, added: “Happy anniversary to you guys!!”
History and Family Background
The Beckhams began dating in 1997 after meeting at a charity football match. They became engaged the following year and married in 1999. The couple share four children: sons Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, and daughter Harper, 14.
Public Fallout with Eldest Son
Over the past year, the Beckhams have experienced a public falling out with their eldest son, Brooklyn. In January, Brooklyn posted a statement on social media accusing his parents of trying to “control” him and “ruin his relationship” with his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 31. He also alleged that his family had “disrespected” his wife.
Despite several attempts by David and Victoria to extend an olive branch publicly, mainly through social media, Brooklyn has not responded. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Victoria addressed the feud for the first time, stating that she and David “love our children so much” and have “always tried to be the best parents.”
Brooklyn and Nicola's Engagement Anniversary
A few weeks before the Beckhams' anniversary, Brooklyn and Nicola marked their engagement anniversary. Nicola reposted a photo from her husband’s birthday celebrations in March, writing: “I can’t believe we got engaged six years ago today. I feel like I’ve known you my whole life, you’re my best friend and my forever love wrapped in one.”
Brooklyn shared his own post, saying: “Six years ago I asked my best friend to marry me x You are my girl, my beautiful wife, and my whole heart. Every day with you feels like the best adventure, and I still can’t believe I get to do life with you.” The couple got engaged in July 2020, about eight months after they began dating, as confirmed by Brooklyn on Instagram.
