Victoria Beckham and David Beckham

celebrity couples

Back in 1997, an outrageously cute soccer star and a Spice Girl had a crush on each other, from afar. “My wife picked me out of a soccer sticker book,” Beckham revealed in his memoir. “And I chose her off the telly.” The two finally met at a charity football match (romantic?), and Posh and Becks were born. Enter the media’s affair with her bitchy pout and his flawless highlights! Their relationship thrived on publicity — magazine covers, matching Armani outfits, reality shows — and we couldn’t stop watching. Or making them rich. Thanks to his endorsements and her fashion brands, the couple (who have four kids, one of them a terrific child breakdancer) have built a billion dollar empire.
