David Beckham reveals he still has ticket stub Victoria wrote her number on, 23 years ago
The former England footballer David Beckham has been happily married to the ex-Spice Girl Victoria since 1999 and the couple has four children together.
David and Victoria Beckham's love story is one for the ages as even after 20 years of marriage, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star cannot stop gushing over his fashion designer ex-Spice Girl wife. David Beckham made an appearance in a popular international talk show on Wednesday and shared the story of how he met his 'favorite' Spice Girl. He recalled that Victoria had attended the Manchester United match and had 'had a couple of drinks' when he approached her and spoke for an hour.
The sweetest revelation by Beckham on the talk show was that the ticket stub on which Victoria had given her number to him 20 years ago was still with him. The host of the show Jimmy Fallon, with the collective 'awww' from the audience, was inspired by this and called David 'amazing' for keeping the ticket as a souvenir.
David and Victoria celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a romantic trip to Paris and Versailles in July. Victoria shared glimpses of the trip through her Instagram account and wrote, “The most incredible visit on a very special day,” She added, “Thank u to everyone who made it so memorable and all our family and friends for always supporting us as a family. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years!”.

Beckham also has an OBE (Order of British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II conferred upon him in 2003.
Victoria Beckham, on the other hand, co-owns Beckham Brand Holdings alongside her husband David and her former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller.
