David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have been together for 26 years. They married only two years after meeting and have four kids: Cruz Beckham, Romeo Beckham, Brooklyn Beckham, and Harper Beckham.
David and Victoria's marriage is a partnership that has stood the test of time. The couple have supported each other through career changes and personal developments since they tied the knot on July 4, 1999.
On February 14, 2023, Victoria wished her husband a happy Valentine's Day, noting that the two have spent 26 years together and he was still her "Valentine." The designer shared cute pictures of the two and told David she still loves him.
David and Victoria first met in 1997 at Manchester United's players' lounge. Victoria said it was love at first sight when she spotted the former footballer. However, she noted she was a bit drunk and that the details were unclear.

The former footballer was standing with his family when Victoria saw him. David had a cute smile and was close to his family, making Victoria think of their similarities. He later asked Victoria for her number, which she wrote on a London to Manchester plane ticket, which David has kept to date.
From the video Victoria shared, her tattoo seemed to be in the process of being removed.
Now, the two have been together for over two decades. Victoria said the secret to their long-lasting marriage is that they greatly respect each other. She added that David was an amazing father and husband who supported her career. Over the years, David and Victoria have showcased their love for each other by getting tattoos to honor one another.

David's and Victoria's Tattoos
In 2013, David got a tattoo in honor of Victoria after 14 years of marriage. His tattoo says "Victoria." On September 16, 2013, the father of four showed off the tattoo he got at an event at Apsley House in London.

The tattoo is written in cursive ink and is on David's right hand. The tattoo matches the ink on his left hand, where he had written "love." In 2009, David also got a tattoo of 10 roses around his arms to mark the ten years he'd been married to Victoria.

Victoria also had a tattoo written DB on her wrist. In November 2022, fans noticed that the designer's tattoo was almost gone from her wrist when she shared a video on Instagram. They worried about Beckham's marriage since Victoria has had the tattoo since their 10th wedding anniversary.

From the video Victoria shared, her tattoo seemed to be in the process of being removed and was almost faded, but traces of David's name initials could still be seen. As much as people speculated that there may be trouble in the Beckham's marriage, the mom of four said they were doing great.
The 49-year-old opened up on "Today" and said she removed her tattoos because they were done a long time ago, and unlike her kids and husband's, her inks weren't fancy and were bleeding a little bit.
Victoria said she decided to remove the tattoos because they were no longer pretty. "It doesn't mean more than that. I think that the media started to speculate: Was I leaving my husband? No, I was just a bit sick of the tattoos," she explained.
Victoria and David's marriage is still going strong. The couple is one of the most fashionable and iconic duo. The two fell in love at first sight when they saw each other and have cherished and supported one another over the years.
