Victoria Beckham looks more smitten than ever as she packs on the PDA with David in a sweet snap
They tied the knot 24 years ago and are the proud parents to four children.
But Victoria Beckham and husband David looked just as head over heels for each other as ever before in a loved-up snap.
The fashion designer, 49, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to share a sweet photo with retired footballer David, 48, taken during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year.
The Spice Girl was snapped planting a kiss on her husband’s cheek, as David closed his eyes and softly smiled.
It comes after Victoria gave an insight into renewing her wedding vows with David after his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos.
She discussed the aftermath of the 2003 claims that the sportsman had become close to his personal assistant during an appearance on US talk show Today with Hoda & Jenna.
Victoria recently revealed that the months afterwards were the ‘hardest’ of her life in their new Netflix documentary, and later detailed David’s decision for a ‘second wedding’ after the scandal.
The couple first married in a lavish ceremony in Ireland in 1999, complete with thrones, crowns and a big bucks magazine deal, but their renewal was said in front of just six people.
Recalling the moment on the chat show, the fashion designer revealed: ‘We were doing school on Monday and David said we had to go somewhere for the afternoon.’
She continued: ‘We land in London, get off the plane and were met by the same car that drove us on our wedding day.
‘We got remarried with the priest that married us all those years ago! think how can this get any better?
‘We get on the plane and we fly to Paris, where we had a 24-hour honeymoon and we stayed in Suite 302.’
After announcing their engagement in 1998, the couple have long attracted a media circus after creating brand ‘Posh And Becks’ – the private renewal came as a surprise to many.
Speaking during an appearance on the special 75th anniversary edition of Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs in 2017, David revealed the vows were said in front of just six people at their house.
He explained: ‘We did throw a lot at (our first wedding). We have renewed our vows since then and it was a lot more private, there was about six people there in our house.
Victoria spoke for the first time of the pain she suffered in the aftermath of the claims about her husband’s alleged affair with Rebecca on their four-part Netflix documentary, titled Beckham.
Almost 20 years after it was claimed he and the personal assistant had become close while he was playing in Spain for Real Madrid, the fashion designer revealed that the months afterwards were the ‘hardest’ of her life and that she no longer felt like the couple ‘had each other’.
Meanwhile, David admitted he still doesn’t know how they got through the 2003 crisis but he and his former Spice Girl wife knew they had to ‘fight for their family’, and said they felt like they were ‘drowning’ when their high-profile marriage was in the headlines for months.
The former England captain also told how he ‘felt physically sick every day’ as he and Victoria faced a battle to save their marriage.
In a searingly honest interview in the fourth and final episode, Victoria appeared to fight back tears as she was asked if it was the hardest time in their marriage.
‘100 per cent,’ she confessed. ‘It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us.
‘Here’s the thing, we were against each other, if I’m being completely honest. Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.
‘But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me.’
David stunned the world when his alleged relationship with Rebecca was revealed in the now defunct News Of The World newspaper.
At the time Victoria had decided to remain in the UK so that her young sons Brooklyn and Romeo could stay in their schools. The decision left David lonely, and he admits that he struggled.
He said: ‘When I first moved to Spain it was difficult because I had been part of a club and a family for my whole career, from the age of 15 to when I was 27.
‘I get sold overnight, the next minute I’m in a city, I don’t speak the language. More importantly, I didn’t have my family.
‘Every time that we woke up we felt there was something else … we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning.’
Asked how their marriage survived, David told how he feared playing football while his wife struggled to find a way through their crisis.
Shaking his head, he said: ‘I don’t know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.
‘And what we had was worth fighting for. There were some days that I would wake up and think, “How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk on to that training pitch? How am I going to look as if nothing’s wrong?” I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes, “How am I going to do this?”‘
The crisis prompted Victoria to relocate to Madrid, where they bought a £3million home which she says she decorated herself. She later went on to have the couple’s third son, Cruz, now 18, in the Spanish capital.
Despite creating a base for her family in Madrid, she admits she was not happy with leaving the UK.
She said: ‘As soon as I could get the kids in school, we then move full-time. Did I resent David? If I am being totally honest, yes I did.
‘It was probably, if I’m being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my life. It wasn’t that I felt unheard because I chose to internalise a lot of it because I was always mindful of a focus that he needed.’
Victoria described their time in Madrid as a ‘nightmare’ and ‘an absolute circus’, while David said the school run was ‘live on Spanish TV’.
The couple say the documentary, which features never before heard anecdotes from David’s parents Ted and Sandra, Sir Alex Ferguson, Gary Neville and Beckham’s best friend Dave Gardner, was like ‘therapy’ for them.
