Unbelievable: David Beckham reveals why he ‘chose’ Victoria Beckham as his wife

David Beckham opened up about the deep connection and admiration he has for his wife, Victoria Beckham, during a heartfelt conversation on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden.

At 48, David reflected on the journey of love and partnership he has shared with the former Spice Girl, now 49, highlighting the qualities that have made their bond unbreakable.

Initially drawn to Victoria for her beauty and allure, David candidly shared, “I really just fancied her. I did. I just fancied her. I didn’t know what she was like as a person. I just actually fancied her like most people did at that time, and I didn’t know who I was marrying [or] who I was going to be with for the rest of my life.”

However, as their relationship deepened, it was Victoria’s strength, work ethic, and role as a mother that truly captivated him, transforming initial attraction into a profound, lasting love.

David praised Victoria not only for her physical attractiveness but for her formidable strength and dedication as a partner and mother.

“I didn’t realize what a strong woman she was, and that is what really attracted me to her more than anything,” he explained.

“I like the fact that she looks after me sometimes, most of the time, and you know, we’ve created this life with four amazing children, which are the most important things in our life, so that’s why I chose Victoria… the way that she kind of runs the family.”

“I like a strong woman, and I like the fact that she works hard. I like the fact that she’s a great mum,” he expressed, underscoring the integral role Victoria plays in their family’s life.

The couple, who welcomed their first son Brooklyn in March 1999, solidified their commitment to each other in a lavish ceremony in Ireland on July 4, 1999.

Their family has since grown to include three more children: Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12. For David, the family they’ve built and the care Victoria provides are among her most admirable qualities.
