What’s the one thing that Victoria Beckham has given up on with husband David?

What’s the one thing that Victoria Beckham has given up on with husband David?

After 16 years of marriage, Victoria Beckham says she’s conceded on this one thing with husband David. Find out here

For nearly two decades, Victoria Beckham and husband David have been one of the most admired couples whose happy marriage seems like such a rarity for those in the limelight.

With their four beautiful, talented children, and both of them enjoying success in their respective fields: sports and fashion, it’s not hard to believe that David no longer has insecurities or doubts about the stability of their relationship.

Victoria Beckham and her happy marriage with David

“I’m secure as a person, as a husband, as a dad,” David said in an interview with GQ. “I’ve gone past the point of really worrying, caring. When I was 22 years old, it might have affected me differently. I’m 40, I’ve got four amazing kids, and an amazing wife, amazing parents, amazing in-laws, amazing friends who I trust: It doesn’t matter what people say.”

  16 years ago today was our special day… 16 years on we have our beautiful children… Thank you for giving me our amazing little ones …. Happy anniversary ❤️

But even in blissful, lasting marriages such as David and Victoria’s, there has to be some compromises.

While they are both supportive of one another’s endeavors as well as decisions, there was one thing Victoria wasn’t always on board with.

David shared with GQ that there was a point where she wanted him to stop getting tattoos all over his chiseled bod and arms. The bulk of which Victoria can’t even locate at this point.

“The tattoos are a way of me expressing deeper feelings about the things I care about and love,” explains David. “Am I done? Probably not.… Think Victoria’s given up on telling me to stop now. She used to. She used to say, ‘Do you have to?’ But she knows it makes me happy.”

  17 years ago our brood started and these little ones have the most amazing mummy that they love so much … And I love her for many reasons but the main one is because she gave me the most amazing children … Happy mama’s day as the little ones would say ❤️❤️❤️❤️

David has reportedly spent over £54,000 on his tattoos but we’re certain this one is his most priceless one yet.

  Apparently Harper is allowed to scribble on daddy ❤️
