The Beckham clan's close bond
Power couple David and Victoria met in 1997 and married just under two years later. The duo crossed paths in the Manchester United players' lounge with the pair reportedly falling in love at first sight.

The former Spice Girl and the footballer went on to tie the knot in July 1999, around a year and a half after they got engaged, and four months after the arrival of their first child, Brooklyn.
Posh and Becks expanded their brood and welcomed Romeo in 2002, Cruz in 2007, and daughter Harper in 2011. While Brooklyn and Romeo have since flown the nest, the Beckhams split their time between their three lavish family homes in Miami, the Cotswolds and Holland Park in London.
