Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria Beckham have shared emotional tributes to mark their wedding anniversary, with the former footballer describing their family as his "proudest achievement." The retired football icon, 51, posted a series of photographs alongside his wife, including images from their wedding day and his 50th birthday celebration last year.
David's Heartfelt Message
David wrote: "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. I love you and Happy Anniversary @victoriabeckham." Victoria replied: "Happy anniversary. I love you so much."
Victoria's Tribute
Victoria also shared a recent photograph of her husband grinning as she kissed his cheek. She wrote, referencing their children Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14: "After 27 years of marriage, four amazing children and countless matching outfits, you're still my *everything*. Happy anniversary! I love you so much."
Celebrity Well-Wishes
The couple received congratulations from friends including Gordon Ramsay, who posted: "Happy Anniversary sending lots of love." Eva Longoria, godmother to two of their children, commented: "Happy anniversary to you guys!"
Family Background
The Beckhams met in 1997 at a charity football match, became engaged the following year, and married in 1999. They have four children: sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, and daughter Harper.
Recent Family Dispute
Despite the celebratory messages, the couple has faced a highly publicised dispute with their eldest son, Brooklyn. In January, Brooklyn claimed on social media that his parents were attempting to "control" him and "ruin his relationship" with his wife, Nicola Peltz, 31. He also alleged that his family had "disrespected" his wife. The Beckhams have made numerous public attempts to reconcile, but Brooklyn has persistently ignored their overtures.
Victoria's Response to the Rift
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Victoria addressed the dispute, stating that she and David "love our children so much" and have "always tried to be the best parents."
Brooklyn's Anniversary Tribute
Weeks earlier, Brooklyn and Nicola celebrated their engagement anniversary with touching tributes. Brooklyn posted: "6 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... I love you more than words, Nicola xx."
