David and Victoria Beckham’s love story is one of the focuses of her new Netflix documentary, which also documents her move from famous singer to successful fashion designer
David and Victoria Beckham’s love story has been in the headlines ever since they first started dating. From the original story of how they met, to David’s alleged affair with Rebecca Loos.
Even amidst a very public feud with their son Brooklyn, Victoria and David have remained resilient. Whilst the documentary focuses on Victoria, her family – minus son Brooklyn – play a huge part in the series. At one moment during the documentary, Victoria says her husband is at least partly to blame for her looking so unhappy.
As they got ready to go out, she said: “Here’s a fact, I’ve looked miserable for all these years, because when we stand on the red carpet, this guy [Becks] has always gone on the left. Okay.
“Now I didn’t realise that when I smile, which I do! I smile from the left, because if I smile from the right I look unwell. So consequently I’m smiling. I’m smiling on the inside, but no one ever sees it, so that’s why I look so moody.”
Body language expert Judi James has now given us an insight into David and Victoria’s longstanding romance and how they’ve got through some of the toughest times together.
Speaking about how the pair’s dynamic has shifted over the years, Judi exclusively explained to The Mirror: “One thing that has clearly endured throughout the Beckham’s long and chequered relationship is their ability to role-shift.
“Even at the height of both their fame she would act like his besotted fan when he was the star of an event, and he would do the same for her. There was never any sign of success envy and here we can see them complimenting each other and switching their body language signals of status and power up and down accordingly.”
Annabelle Knight, Sex and Relationships expert at Lovehoney, added: “David and Victoria Beckham’s love story has always felt like something out of a movie. He was the golden boy of football, she was Posh Spice – one of the most recognisable women in the world – and yet when they met, there was this instant spark and sense of partnership.
“You could tell they adored each other’s drive, ambition and humour. That early connection set the tone for everything that followed – a relationship built on mutual respect as much as attraction. What people love about their relationship is that it feels real. They’ve had their fair share of ups and downs, and yet they’ve always come out stronger.”
Despite the “set up” nature of Victoria and David’s chat in their Cotswolds home, Judi says one thing is clear about their bond and romance; that they compliment each other so well.
“When they sit at the table though there is a role-swap and their ‘chat’ is more like a football pundit interview, with David asking the questions while she goes into vulnerable childlike mode. All her words are punctuated with spiky-fingered hand gestures, suggesting tension and anxiety while his body language signals relaxed confidence,” she said.
“She appears as the needy one in the relationship here, crying over making a cheese sandwich and claiming she’s trying to prove herself to David despite having been one of the biggest pop stars on the planet when he met her.”
Even the toughest parts of their romance – David’s alleged affair with Rebecca Loos and the family’s feud with Brooklyn – has only strengthened the pair’s marriage now and going forward.
“The Rebecca Loos scandal could’ve been the end for many couples, but they chose to face it together. When trust is shaken, it’s easy to walk away but instead, they’ve rebuilt their relationship. That takes honesty, forgiveness and a lot of teamwork,” Annabelle tells us.
“Even now, with all the chatter around their son Brooklyn, they’re showing what being a united couple really looks like. Parenting grown-up kids can test even the best relationships – loyalties get pulled, and emotions can flare but David and Victoria have always had each other’s backs. Their marriage clearly comes first, and that’s what keeps them solid.”
Judi further reveals that Victoria seems more “insecure” in their exchanges. She added: “She doesn’t appear to trust his compliments and support here, but he seems to act in the role of counsellor and coach.
“He claims she’s trying to prove something to herself, not him. There are clearly expressions of affection exchanged but there is an air of calm patience from him and tense insecurities from here that are hopefully complimentary. It could be that we see more of his support and reassurance to her here and not enough of when she’s flattering and reassuring him too.”
Annabelle added: “They’ve got that ‘us against the world’ energy, which feels like a bit of a modern fairy tale.”
