Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham has remained very popular for decades. She inspires with her sophisticated style, strong family life, success and, of course, youthful looks.
However, despite her long fame and public life, even Victoria’s most loyal supporters don’t know all the facts about her life. Radio Maximum has compiled a selection of little-known facts about the star.
Top 10 facts about Victoria Beckham
1. parents ran a business
Victoria’s father was an electronics engineer and later founded a wholesale electronics business with her mother, which allowed for a comfortable upbringing for Victoria, her sister Louise and her brother Christian Adams.
2. ashamed of her family
Victoria grew up in a fairly affluent family and suffered greatly from this. She had hardly any friends at school. Little Vicky asked her father not to drive her to school in his Rolls Royce. The girl felt embarrassed. However, this is probably what tempered her character and helped her become the person she is today.
3. the star’s mocking nickname.
In the Spice Girls group, she had the nickname Posh Spice (luxury peppers), which Victoria got because of her love for luxury. According to her, she loved luxurious clothes and always went to expensive restaurants.
4. childhood self-loathing
As a teenager, Victoria thought she was very unattractive. She was smooth, had oily skin on her face and constantly had pimples. The girl constantly exhausted herself with diets and it affected her health.
5. Victoria’s terrible diagnosis
At the age of 20, due to health problems, doctors gave Beckham a terrible diagnosis, informing her that she would never be able to become a mother. However, in 1999, Victoria learned that she was expecting her firstborn son Brooklyn.
6. stern face in the photo
Beckham is almost impossible to see with a smile. According to Victoria, she does not like her smile, so her lack of smiling has nothing to do with a bad mood or character. As the model’s relatives share, Victoria often laughs in the family circle and has a great sense of humour.
7. Love at first sight
David Beckham won the heart of his beloved from the first meeting, which took place during one of the football matches: “I immediately noted that after the game David’s colleagues went on holiday with friends, and he stayed with his mum, dad and younger sister. I was really pleased with that. He’s close to his family, just like me.”
8. a difficult period in the relationship
According to Victoria Beckham and her husband, the period in 2003 was the most difficult in their relationship. Then the media actively discussed David Beckham’s “affair” with his assistant Rebecca Loos.
The “mistress” herself publicly confirmed the information and boasted that she slept with the married Beckham, who denied everything. The couple’s marriage was hanging by a thread, but they managed to mend their relationship.
9. Victoria’s autobiography
Beckham’s autobiography Learning To Fly was published on 13 September 2001. The title was taken from a line in a song from the musical “Fame”, which Victoria saw as a child. In the book, the singer talks about her childhood, her time in the Spice Girls, her marriage and family life, and her career at the time.
10. family business
Together with her husband David, Victoria Beckham launched the fashion clothing and perfume line dVb (David and Victoria Beckham), which is part of Beckham Brand Ltd. The company produces men’s and women’s jeans, sunglasses, eau de toilette, dresses and knitwear products. Victoria Beckham was recognised by Glamour magazine as the winner of the Accessories Designer of the Year in 2011.
