David and Victoria renewed their wedding vows - June 19, 2020
David and Victoria Beckham reportedly renewed their wedding vows in a secret ceremony. Just days before the couple hosted their Full Length and Fabulous pre-World Cup Party at their Hertfordshire mansion. David surprised his wife with a romantic ceremony. The 31-year-old England football captain arranged for the couple to renew their vows in front of their three sons Brooklyn, six, Romeo, three, and Cruz, one, and their full-time nanny.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "It was a very intimate ceremony. David was dressed in white and said he had fallen in love with Victoria all over again. "He says they are getting on better since they moved into their house in Madrid and they are operating as a solid family for the first time in years." David had arranged for white flowers to be floating in their pool and lanterns were hung in trees for the ceremony. Victoria was extremely moved by her husband’s gesture and both reportedly cried as they renewed their vows.
David - who is playing in the football World Cup - is said to be aware his sports career is nearing its end and wants to show Victoria that her and their sons mean everything to him. The source added: "Renewing his marriage vows was about celebrating being able to spend the rest of their lives together." The couple originally married at Luttrellstown Castle, Dublin, in a lavish ceremony in 1999.
Victoria and David Beckham want a baby girl - May 05, 2020
Victoria and David Beckham are considering having sex standing up - to guarantee they have a baby girl. Football ace David - who has three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, with his super-slim wife - is reportedly so desperate for a little girl he’s started researching ways to dictate a baby’s sex.
A source told Grazia magazine: "David is really keen for Victoria to have another baby. But he wants a girl. And when David wants something, he gets pretty obsessed. "He’s found out through talking to people that you have more chance of conceiving a girl if you do things like have sex standing up on certain days of the month. He’s even checked out this website that claims to guarantee a couple having a baby girl, and there’s a book called ’Determining The Sex Of Your Baby’, which is all about whether you can plan to have a boy or a girl."
Victoria has even picked a name for a baby girl - Luna. She revealed: "I love the word Luna. I know it’s a girl’s name, so maybe for the next baby." However, it is feared the former Spice Girl could be jeopardising her health if she has another baby. Women like Victoria, who have caesareans, are at greater risk of complications, and the risk is said to increase each time. A source said: "Victoria knows all this, but she also knows how delighted David would be to have a daughter."

Victoria Beckham
Victoria wanted to be famous from a young age, taking dance lessons after watching Fame and attending the Jason Theatre School in Enfield from the age of 8 until she was seventeen. This was when she secured a place at the Laine Arts Theatre College in Surrey and began auditioning for bands.
In March of 1993, when she spotted an ad in The Stage: "Are you between 18 and 23 and are able to sing and dance? Are you street-smart, extrovert, ambitious and serious about it?" Victoria joined Geri, Mel B and Mel C along with a girl called Michelle (who would later be replaced by Victoria’s childhood friend Emma Bunton) in winning a place in the Spice Girls. After a rocky start the group signed to Virgin Records and became the biggest girl group ever, releasing hit singles and albums year after year, making a succesful feature film and becoming one of the most influential bands of the nineties and inspiration to millions of young girls.
However, the Spice Girls’ bubble eventually burst as Geri left to pursue a solo career and although the remaining four released a few more singles the magic had gone and after recording a final album they went their seperate ways. Victoria bided her time before launching her first solo single, Out Of Your Mind, in collaboration with Truesteppers and Dane Bowers. The single coiincided with the release of Sophie Ellis Bextor’s collaboration with Spiller and resulted in a chart battle which Sophie won. The defeat reflected badly on Victoria and her solo career seemed to go from bad to worse. Her next single, Not Such An Innocent Girl found itself up against Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, which only served to highlight the difference in quality between Victoria’s efforts and those of established pop stars. Her debut album was released two weeks later and on managing to only just edge in to the top ten Victoria was dropped by Virgin.
On hooking up with former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, Victoria decided to take a more R&B influenced turn, against her manager’s advice. She began a friendship with Damon Dash who not only assisted Victoria in her musical direction but signed her up to model for his Rocawear label. A dounle A side, Let Your Head Go/This Groove, was released in the week following Christmas 2003 but charting at number 3 in the single chart’s least competetive week it was considered a commercial flop. The single remains Victoria’s last release although she has regularly returned to the studio to work with, among others, Cathy Dennis. Several tracks remain unreleased and Victoria claims that she’ll only sing again if the Spice Girls reunite.
Concentrating on her fashion career, Victoria as previously designed for Rock and Republic as well as modelling for Rocawear and Maria Grachvogel. Her second book (her first was an autobiography, Learning to Fly), That Extra Half An Inch: Heels, Hair and Everything in Between, cemented Victoria’s influence as a fashion icon.
In 1997 Victoria met British footballing icon David Beckham and before long they were the country’s most talked about couple. Victoria fell pregnant two years later and following the birth of their first son, Brooklyn, the couple were married in a lavish ceremony at Ireland’s Luttrellstown Castle. Despite rumours of David’s infidelity and problems moving between Britain and Spain for his career the Beckham’s marriage remains strong and they have had two further sons, Romeo (born 2002) and Cruz (born 2005). The family plan to move to Los Angeles later this year with plans to create a relaity show based around the move. Meanwhile rumours of a Spice Girls reunion persist. We might get Victoria back in front of that mic yet.
