“We met in parking garages and it’s not as shabby as it sounds,” explains Victoria Beckham, 49, in the “Beckham” trailer. David, 48, then laughs: “Great!”

Victoria Beckham: ‘Some would say I stalked him’

In their new Netflix documentary “Beckham,” the Hollywood couple chats about their secrets. Of course, it will also be about the dream team’s relationship, after all, Victoria and David Beckham celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary in June. The secret recipe for this marriage that seems to overcome every hurdle is interesting. That’s why, in addition to the romantic dates in parking garages, other juicy details from their relationship – especially how they met – are also discussed. In a clip released before the series officially started, Victoria Beckham admits: “I really only went to the games to, some would say to stalk him, I would say to see him.” The footballer had turned the ex-Spice Girl’s head from the start.

The beginnings of their great love

Victoria Beckham plays an important role early on in the life of the British football legend. Actually, before he became really famous. No wonder that the special love story cannot be missing from the four-part Netflix documentary about the football star’s life. It is a story that literally focuses on love, sweat and tears. Documenting the star’s humble beginnings from working-class east London to becoming a global football icon. The famous couple met in 1997 at a Manchester United football match – David Beckham’s then football club. At that point, David wasn’t even in the first team. He and Victoria start dating and fall in love. The ex-Spice Girl says:

My manager kept saying, ‘Try to keep it a secret.”

Although the request to keep their dates secret came from Victoria’s management, it seems as if the initial strains did not damage the relationship of the current dream couple. On the contrary: it was the togetherness away from the cameras that laid the foundation for a relationship in the spotlight. A strong relationship that day in, day out is illuminated from all sides, on which everyone has an opinion – and which can still endure all of it. The initial parking garage romance was probably what the two wanted. A little normality.

Family connects them

Victoria and David are family people. In the trailer, the successful entrepreneur reveals that she particularly noticed her husband when they first met because he was standing with his family after the game. And not with the other players at the bar. In a letter that the 49-year-old wrote to herself at the time, it says: “While the other football players are drinking with their friends at the bar, you can see David standing aside with his family. […] And he has such a sweet smile.” However, this enthusiasm was not shared by all family members. David’s mother Sandra, 74, was initially not enthusiastic about her son’s romance. She feared that he would be distracted from his goals by the famous Victoria .

“We were afraid he would lose everything he had worked for because football always came first and then suddenly it didn’t,” she admits. Luckily, your worries were unfounded. Because Victoria and David have now built a real empire for themselves. Your name quickly became a brand and landed contracts with clothing designers, cosmetics manufacturers, etc. Despite the fame, family still comes first for both of them. They also want to convey this to their four children and give them a bit of normality, which the two of them were able to enjoy back then in the form of parking garage dates.
