David Beckham has left fans stunned as he shared a baby-faced throwback snap of himself and his wife Victoria to mark their anniversary. The golden couple are celebrating 24 years of marriage on Tuesday (July 4), with the former footballer telling his wife he loves her "so much".
Back in 1999, David and Spice Girls star Victoria Adams tied the knot at a lavish ceremony in Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland. The couple, who quickly became known as Posh and Becks, already had one child, son Brooklyn, who was born four months earlier in March 1999. They have since gone on to welcome three more children - Romeo, 20, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 11.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, ex-England and Manchester United winger David shared an intimate never-before-seen image of himself and fashion designer Victoria from years ago. The image showed the lovebirds looking young and fresh-faced, with Victoria sitting on her partner's lap as they held their pet rottweiler dogs.
