Former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham is a recognized fashion designer in her fifties, has her own line of beauty products, four children and her relationship with her husband resembles a fairy tale. Originally, however, this British star had something completely different planned.
In the 1990s, she stormed the stage as a member of the British girl group Spice Girls. Although the girl band enjoyed huge success, Beckham was often overly critical of her dancing and singing. Many will therefore be surprised to learn that the former singer has very solid foundations in the field of theater arts.
Victoria graduated from the Laine Theater Arts College in Epsom, Surrey, and aspired to become a stage and musical star in London’s West End. However, fate finally pushed her to another stage. Victoria gained fans as a pop singer, model and later a fashion and beauty icon. In 2017, she was even appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for her services to the fashion industry.
Love and wedding like from a fairy tale
Victoria Beckham was born the eldest of three siblings and celebrates her 50th birthday on April 17. The successful artist and businesswoman does not let her family down, and so does her husband, former professional footballer David Beckham. This was also one of the reasons why Victoria fell in love with David.
The wedding of the famous athlete and the successful singer took place in 1999, it was pompous and caused quite a stir. The cost of the ceremony and banquet was expected to reach half a million pounds and more than 400 staff worked on the wedding. Victoria donned a diamond tiara by jewelery designer Slim Barrett and the couple even sat on the throne at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland.
A big and successful family
Four descendants gradually joined the Beckham family. After three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, the couple had a daughter Harper in 2011. Victoria did not hide from the public that it was not easy to get pregnant for the fourth time, and that she and David underwent a number of necessary medical procedures.
The husband and wife are both very successful businessmen, as evidenced by the amount of their fortune, which is said to exceed 500 million dollars. Both Victoria and David know how to draw attention to each other, which was confirmed, for example, last year, when the streaming service Netflix released the Beckham documentary, which aroused great interest among viewers. The fans learned not only about the rough beginnings of both stars, but the series also does not avoid difficult moments in the relationship of the two famous Britons.
