There are a lot of great benefits that can come from being rich, talented, beautiful, and famous. However, even when a person has all of those things, finding and maintaining a lasting relationship with someone can be really hard, especially if that person is also someone who is well-known.

Nevertheless, athlete David Beckham and his wife, fashion designer, and businesswoman Victoria Beckham, have somehow managed to do just that. This famous and beautiful couple seem to have it all plus some, according to hellomagazine.com.

They are a couple of extremely successful and star-driven folks who have a wonderful family. But, as many of us know, sometimes things are not exactly as perfect as they might seem.

Despite the fact that these two lovebirds still seem to be very interested in one another, they have been through some very hard times. After all, spending a life in the spotlight can be really hard on anyone.

The two have really faced a lot together, and they seem to have become a much stronger couple because of that. What would normally make weaker couples split up has actually pushed them closer together, or so it seems. Here are some of the interesting things this couple has been through.

20 Having Children Was Not Easy For The Couple

While there are some people who do not seem to have any trouble adding numerous children to their family, others appear to struggle with it. That is true for everyone, including famous men and women such as David and Victoria Beckham.

While this couple does have four children, their path to parenthood was not as easy as some might think it was. That is because Victoria has a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which is often referred to as PCOS.

This is quite a common thing. It appears to affect at least between ten and 15 percent of women who are in their childbearing years, according to pcos.com.

19 They Had A Hush-Hush Vow Renewal

One might imagine that it is hard for this very popular couple to do things that are outside of the public eye. But, they somehow managed to keep something very big to themselves when they had a very hush-hush vow renewal.

Plus, another fun little tidbit about their vow renewal is the fact that they had very few guests, especially in comparison to their first wedding, which was massive and not really private at all. David admitted that they held the event in front of only six other people. They did this after having some pretty serious marriage issues, according to thesun.co.uk.

18 The Couple Behaved Strangely At Someone Else’s Wedding

Usually, there is a certain kind of behavior that guests are expected to have when they attend a friend or family member’s wedding. That is even truer when the wedding is a big deal that the entire world knows about.

So, it’s not hard to notice when someone is behaving a bit strangely during an event like this. The Beckhams received a lot of criticism a while back for the way they acted at a wedding.

According to birminghammail.co.uk, some people said that Posh dressed as though she was attending a funeral, which is a big wedding no-no. Also, in some of the wedding photos that she and David are in, some fans thought she looked rather unhappy.

17 Victoria Revealed The Nickname She Gave David, And Immediately Regretted It

David Beckham is definitely someone that has some guts, as he has accomplished quite a lot in sports. There are a lot of people who agree with that, and obviously one of those people (and probably David’s biggest fan) is his wife, Victoria.

In fact, she gave him a rather interesting and strange nickname because of it. In fact, according to metro.co.uk, Victoria caused a little bit of embarrassment for the two of them when she revealed this nickname during an interview.

Nevertheless, she regretted it shortly afterward. As David put his head in his hands, she said that wasn’t something she should have told anyone else.

16 David Has OCD

One of the fun facts about their relationship is that at the beginning of their relationship, David wanted to make sure that he didn’t lose her phone number, which she wrote on an airplane ticket. So, he wrote it down himself six times.

That sounds very romantic, but at the same time, it could be because the athlete actually has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. This is commonly known as OCD, and it is an unfortunate condition to have.

According to dailymail.co.uk, this condition causes the star to do repetitive things and maintain strange rituals. For example, he counts the cans of soda in his refrigerator...

15 David Likes Borrowing Some Of Her Things

There are a lot of truly beautiful and fashionable celebrities whom many of us would love to borrow a few things from every once in a while, and Victoria Beckham is certainly one of those people. So, we can’t exactly blame her husband for wanting to borrow a few of his gorgeous wife’s belongings from time to time.

According to elle.com, part of David’s mystery to looking as awesome as he does is using some of the products from his wife’s makeup bag. But it seems that she also borrows things from him, so he isn’t the only one doing this.

14 Posh Is Not Always Honest With David

One of the many important things one must do in order to have a great marriage is to remain upfront and honest with their partner. The Beckhams probably already know that, but the truth is that Victoria does lie to her husband sometimes.

Though, that is not quite as bad as that sounds. According to mirror.co.uk, the fashion designer apparently tells a fib to David when she wants to sneak off to visit her dermatologist. Victoria, who used to have acne and scars, has been known to tell her husband that she was attending a meeting when she was actually planning to get facial.

13 They Felt A Connection Right Away, But Things Have Not Always Been Easy

These people are two peas in a pod, or at least it seems that way. So, of course, they had a spark right away.

The Beckhams seriously have one of the most romantic love stories ever. But at the same time, it is important to remember that things have not always been very peachy for the famous lovebirds.

After all, according to elitedaily.com, they have been married for 20 years, which is pretty much a lifetime, as far as celebrity marriages go. They have faced a lot, that’s for sure. But the happy couple seems just as in love now as they were when they started dating each other, and that is very important in a marriage.

12 David Had To Help Victoria When Her Company Hit A Rough Patch

Celebrities always appear to be people who basically never have a hard time, at least financially speaking. But money doesn’t grow on trees, and it’s not something that is endless for anyone, and that includes famous people.

Sometimes couples hit a rough patch, and to be honest, it is nice to have people around who can help us when we are down. That is exactly what David did for his wife a while back when her fashion label began to experience some financial woes, according to dw.com. David stood by his wife through this tough time and he helped her get back on her feet.

11 Victoria And Her Sons Were Almost In Danger

Sometimes it seems as though the rich and famous celebrities that we are all huge fans of lead the perfect lives. But there are actually a lot of negative things that can come along with being as well-known as the Beckhams are, one of which is the fact that celebrities can become the targets of some pretty unsettling individuals.

For example, according to nytimes.com, there was a time when the Beckham family faced something that was really strange and potentially bad, to say the least; a crazed fan was planning on taking their children. Fortunately for the Beckhams, these plans did not end up working out. Sometimes celebrities face some really strange situations.

10 Victoria’s Husband Does Not Hide His Feelings

David Beckham might seem like a pretty tough guy, but that does not mean that he does not let his emotions show. In fact, there have been numerous occasions during which he has been known to shed a tear or two, which only makes him that much more relatable.

In addition, according to elle.com, even someone as rich and famous as David Beckham knows that the best things in life don’t cost anything. Furthermore, he just seems to adore being a father in general. One of the many things that has made David emotional was being surprised on his birthday when his son, Brooklyn, paid him a visit.

9 They Might Be Adding To Their Family!

In just a few months, this couple will be celebrating 20 years of marriage together. While Victoria seems to be more focused on her jobs than adding to the family these days, her husband wouldn’t mind celebrating their anniversary with another little one being on the way.

According to celebsnow.com, the athlete believes that nothing would make them seem like a stronger, more solid married couple than bringing another Beckham into the world. Some believe that he may be experiencing baby fever because his friend, chef Gordon Ramsay, had his fifth baby with his wife. He feels as though Gordon has something he doesn’t have.

8 There Has Been Some Jealousy

One of the keys to having a long and successful marriage that lasts is being able to trust the person you are married to. However, due to some of the things the couple has been through in the past, apparently, Victoria is having some major difficulties doing that.

Even after the couple claimed to have worked out their issues, Posh still isn’t fond of some of the women her husband seems to be friends with. Though it easy to understand why she might feel that way, clearly there are still some trust issues between the two of them. According to dlisted.com, David has been seen with a friend named Helena, and the former Spice Girl is not happy about it.

7 They Are Extremely Strict With Their Children

The Beckhams often seem as though they would be a lot of fun to hang out with. But when it comes to raising children, the pair are pretty serious.

They have been known to be really strict with each of their children. In fact, the couple is incredibly strict when it comes to their kids and social media, which is completely understandable.

For example, according to foodworldnews.com, the famous pair monitor what their kids post online. A few years ago, David claimed that Brooklyn doesn’t post anything on social media without getting it approved by his parents first. Apparently, he is very open with them.

6 David Admitted That Their Wedding Was A Bit Too Much...

David Beckham has discussed his wedding to Victoria on multiple occasions, and he has been known that say that the event was quite a big deal since it was so expensive. In fact, the two of them are not exactly known for their modesty, and their wedding is just further proof of that.

Furthermore, according to cbsnews.com, when the couple got married, they ended up sitting on a couple of golden thrones that were placed at the altar. Additionally, the athlete and the fashion designer had their wedding cake topped with some rather interesting figures of themselves. The event cost nearly $800,000, which was a bigger deal in 1999 than it is these days

5 ...Which They Made Money Off Of

In most cases, weddings are very expensive. Usually, couples do not make money when they get married.

Instead, weddings really tend to drain the wallet sometimes, but they are worth it. But of course Posh and David had to do things very differently.

When they got married, the two of them were basically treated like royalty. In fact, according to mirror.co.uk, the couple made quite a lot of money off of their wedding when they gave a magazine the chance to take photos during the event. They seem quite different these days since they tend to lead very private lives.

4 David Had A Lot To Do With Victoria's Famous Bob Haircut

Usually, when fans think about Victoria Beckham, they picture her with short hair. After all, when she was with the Spice Girls, she did not have long hair.

But she has sported long hair a few times since then, even though David Beckham really does not prefer it. In fact, according to fame10.com, back in the 2000s, it was her husband who convinced her to get her hair cut short again.

David likes the style for a couple of reasons, one of which is that she had short hair when they met. The other reason is that he is not exactly the biggest fan of hair extensions.

3 They Haven’t Let Their Income Affect Their Children

There are some famous people that allow their children to do whatever they want, even if that involves ridiculously large sums of money. But then, on the other hand, there are also celebrity parents like David and Victoria Beckham, who try to make sure that their children are as down to earth as possible.

According to marieclaire.co.uk, David Beckham claimed that there are some times when their kids don’t get to do everything that they want to do. They have been known to keep Brooklyn, Harper, Cruz, and Romeo relatively grounded, especially in comparison to some other celebrities and their children.

2 The Whole Family Pitches In When It Comes To Chores

While some famous couples have nannies and maids to take care of their homes and children, there are still other celebrities who like to be more involved. That is the case for David and Victoria Beckham.

According to mirror.co.uk, the chores around the house get shared. In addition, the children do not receive any money of their own unless they have completed the chores they are told to complete.

Apparently, when their children do not make their bed or take care of their dishes, they do not receive any money from their parents. Also, David considers himself to be one of the most strict fathers in show business.

1 They Have Faced Some Scandals

No matter how strong a famous couple seems to be, there are always going to be some rumors about them splitting up or getting a divorce. Even David and Posh cannot escape these unfortunate rumors that tend to spread around rather quickly.

Because of the drama, the couple has faced in the past, the two of them have been the subject of a lot of rumors like these, and it appears it is quite bothersome to Victoria.

According to harpersbazaar.com, Posh claimed that celebrities have to be quite firm, since their fans tend to believe a lot of the rumors that surround them.
