Let's face it: no marriage is perfect, not even the seemingly picture-perfect union of David and Victoria Beckham. In a candid interview with the Australian TV show The Sunday Project, David, 43, pulled back the curtain on life with his wife of two decades. Spoiler alert: it’s not always smooth sailing, even for this power couple.

“People think after 20 years, everything must be easy-peasy. But let me tell you, it’s hard work,” David admitted in a preview clip shared by the Mirror. “As time goes on, it gets more complicated. You grow together, but you also grow individually, and that can create challenges.”

David and Victoria tied the knot back in July 1999, and they’ve been raising four kids ever since: Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, and Harper, 7. If you follow them on social media, you know they’re not shy about sharing sweet moments from their family life. But behind the scenes, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.

“It’s the little things that matter most,” David reflected. “I’ve learned that with my kids. But let’s be real, being in the spotlight isn’t easy. We have to protect our family from all the noise out there.”

Victoria’s Take on the Rumors

Victoria, 44, isn’t one to shy away from addressing the constant rumors about their marriage. In a recent interview with British Vogue, she set the record straight. “For 20 years, people have been making up stories about us,” she said. “David and I have gotten pretty good at ignoring the nonsense. But it’s not just about us—it affects the people around us, and that’s not fair.”

She went on to emphasize the strength of their partnership. “We’re stronger together than we are apart. Honestly, would either of us be where we are today if we hadn’t met and built this life together? It’s all about the family unit. As a team of six, we’re unstoppable. We respect that bond, and it’s what keeps us going.”
