David and Victoria Beckham are celebrities originally from the United Kingdom who have gained international fame and fortune in their respective fields.
David Beckham has been a football star for nearly 20 years, beginning his career at age 17 when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United. During his time there, United won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the UEFA Champions League and the World Club Championship in 1999. In 2003, Beckham signed with Real Madrid, where he played for four seasons. In 2007, Beckham crossed the pond to play for the LA Galaxy, signing a record-breaking five year deal and being loaned under a unique time-share agreement to AC Milan in 2009 and 2010.
Victoria Beckham (née Adams) rose to fame as part of the all-female pop group the Spice Girls. Dubbed "Posh Spice" because of her sophisticated outfits and haughty expression, Posh and the other Spice Girls quickly rose to the top of the international pop charts in 1996 with their first hit, "Wannabe," and a series of number-one singles followed, along with world tours and a popular film. The Spice Girls were some of the most successful recording artists of the late 20th century. When they disbanded in 2000, Victoria had a brief solo career in the music industry before turning her attention to a career in the fashion industry. Known from the beginning as a style icon, Victoria has modeled, served as a fashion consultant and editor, and launched her own line of accessories, jeans, dresses and fragrances.
The attractive and stylish couple were dubbed "Posh and Becks" by the media. They first met in 1997 and were married in 1999. The couple currently have four children.
Beckham fragrances are produced in conjunction with Coty. David Beckham's Instinct for men was the first fragrance from the pair, issued in 2005. His and hers versions of many other fragrances have been issued, such as the Intimately Beckham For Her and For Him from 2006. Advertisements for the fragrances typically feature provocative photos of the couple, all helping to make the Beckham fragrance range one of the best-selling celebrity lines in the world today.
