Personal life
In 1997, Beckham started dating Victoria Adams, widely known as "Posh Spice" of
the pop music group Spice Girls, and their relationship attracted a great deal
of media interest.
He married Adams at Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland on 4 July 1999. The wedding
attracted tremendous media coverage. Beckham's teammate Gary Neville was the
best man, and the couple's son Brooklyn, then four months old, was the ring
bearer. The media were kept away from the ceremony, as the Beckhams had an
exclusive deal with OK! Magazine, but newspapers were still able to obtain
photographs showing them sitting on golden thrones. 437 staff were employed for
the wedding reception, which was estimated to have cost ￡500,000.
The Beckhams, who came to be known almost universally as "Posh and Becks", have
three sons: Brooklyn Joseph Beckham (born 4 March 1999), Romeo James Beckham (1
September 2002) and Cruz David Beckham (20 February 2005).
In an April 3, 2006 interview, Beckham told The Daily Mail that he suffers from
obsessive-compulsive disorder.
