Happy 15th Anniversary Posh and Becks

July 4th is a day to celebrate not only our country’s independence, but also the anniversary of one of the world’s most iconic power couples, David and Victoria Beckham. Here’s a tasty visual trip through the history of Posh and Becks.

Romantic Beginnings

Let’s go back to 1997, the year it all began. David was already a soccer star and Victoria was best known as Posh Spice when the two met at a Manchester United charity event. It was love at first sight. According to HELLO! Magazine, Posh was rather forward, telling Becks, “If you don’t ring me, I’m going to kick you in the b******s the next time I see you.”
