Victoria Beckham shares sassy anniversary tribute to husband David after going against him over fitness routine

Victoria Beckham has used her wedding anniversary to hit back at comments she and her husband have received over the years. The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer is marking 23 years married to David on Monday (July 4).

The couple met back in 1997 while David was playing for Manchester United and Victoria was enjoying life as one-fifth of the biggest girl bands of all time. The loved-up pair then said 'I Do' just under two years later in July 1999 in a fairytale ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle.

They have since become proud parents to four children; Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven and earlier this year watched their eldest become a married man himself as he tied the knot with Transformers actress Nicola Peltz.

Marking their wedding anniversary, Victoria shared a photo of herself smiling widely as David had a laugh at an unknown event. Captioning the image to her millions of followers, the 48-year-old fashion designer said: "They say he isn’t funny, they say I never smile, they said it wouldn’t last."

She then went on to say: "Today we celebrate 23 years being married. David you are my everything, I love you so much!!!!" The mum-of-four then went on to share a series of images of her and her hubby throughout their marriage on her Instagram Stories where she gushed: "@davidbeckham you are my everything! I love you so much."

David, 47, also shared his own anniversary message, opting for a more comedic tribute. He shared a throwback clip of the couple appearing in a Comic Relief sketch where they were interviewed by Ali G back in 2001 where David was asked whether he was into the Spice Girls.

He replied: "No, but I was into Posh." Posting alongside the clip, David repeated his comment before adding: ".. 23 years ago today Posh became Mrs Beckham, but she will always be Posh. Happy Anniversary WOW 23 years & 4 beautiful kiddies." He then shared: "Love you, we all love you," before tagging his wife and their children in the post.

The pair's gushing messages for each other comes after Victoria rubbished her other half's comments about her fitness regime. She corrected David's claims that she has 'eaten the same meal every day for 25 years' - confessing that her husband's comments earlier this year made her 'sound boring'.

"I mean, talk about making me sound boring!" Victoria had told Vogue, with the publication noting she rolls her eyes when discussing her husband's claim in her latest interview. "No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined with the way that they eat. I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing.

"I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to. I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking."

The interview with the iconic publication took place at the couple's London home, where she is said to have "ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes, uphill" after waking up at 6.45am prior to sitting down for a chat. After dropping youngest child Harper, 10, off at school the fashion designer then enjoyed a "gruelling one-hour weights session", before her daily routine got a little more luxurious with a professional blow dry.
