David and Victoria, who are also parents to Brooklyn, 18, Romeo, 14, and five-year-old Harper, first met at a charity football match in 1997 before they announced their engagement a year later. In March, Victoria opened up about her partner on the Today show: "He's my soulmate. He's the most incredible husband," she said. "We complement each other. He inspires me every day, with the children, with the way he treats me; it just works. We are lucky to have each other." She also spoke about raising the couple's four children. "I'm definitely not a pushover, and neither is David. We are strict with the children. They are happy kids, but they're very, very polite children," she said.

He revealed: "Of course you make mistakes over the years. We all know marriage is difficult at times and it's about working through it. Whenever we've come up against tough times, we know each other better than anybody knows us so we talk." He added: "Do we stay together because it's a brand? Of course not. We stay together because we love each other. We stay together because we have four amazing children. Of course we go through tough times. When we go through tough times we work through it as a unit, as a family."
