Victoria Beckham recently opened up about "sneaking around" at the beginning of her relationship with husband David Beckham in the trailer for their new documentary, "Beckham," which recounts her husband's career. The former Spice Girl revealed that they used to meet up in parking lots when they first started seeing each other as a way to keep their relationship quiet. "My manager kept saying, ‘Try and keep it under wraps, so we would meet in car parks. And that’s not as seedy as it sounds," she said laughing aside David.

The pair first began dating in the late 90's and at the time, Victoria was a part of the biggest girl group in the world, while David was one of the most famous soccer players in the world. They first met in 1997 when Victoria came to one of his soccer matches. "She came to a football match — soccer match — and I said hi from across the room, and that was it," David told Ellen Degeneres in 2008, "I thought I'd missed my chance, and then a week later she turned up at another football match." Beckham recalls the pair talking for an hour during their second meeting while in the players lounge. Victoria wrote her number down on her train ticket in which David has admitted to still having that train ticket.

In 2017, Victoria wrote a letter to her 18-year-old self for British Vogue where she said "love at first sight does exist." She relived the moment she met David in the letter to her younger self saying, "It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge – although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy. While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family." She added, "I’m afraid that most of your first dates will be in car parks, which is not as seedy as it sounds. It is because your manager, Simon Fuller, will warn you, ‘Don’t let anyone see you out together or you’ll get hounded.’ At the time, you won’t understand why."

The couple tied the knot in July 1999 and will celebrate their 25th anniversary next summer. The share four children together: Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 12.
