A friend of David’s said: "This attack is way out of order and David is absolutely fuming. His mum and sister are both upset by the rubbish that has been written." The German paper also attacked David’s three young sons and his wife Victoria. They described Romeo as looking like a girl joking "he should have been called Juliet" and branded the former Spice Girl a "trophy wife". The onslaught continued, saying: "With England flags on her behind, litres of cola and popcorn under her arms, Popham (as she is nicknamed in Germany) planted herself directly near to her two dwarfs."
Victoria and David Beckham want a baby girl - May 05, 2020
Victoria and David Beckham are considering having sex standing up - to guarantee they have a baby girl. Football ace David - who has three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, with his super-slim wife - is reportedly so desperate for a little girl he’s started researching ways to dictate a baby’s sex.
A source told Grazia magazine: "David is really keen for Victoria to have another baby. But he wants a girl. And when David wants something, he gets pretty obsessed. "He’s found out through talking to people that you have more chance of conceiving a girl if you do things like have sex standing up on certain days of the month. He’s even checked out this website that claims to guarantee a couple having a baby girl, and there’s a book called ’Determining The Sex Of Your Baby’, which is all about whether you can plan to have a boy or a girl."
Victoria has even picked a name for a baby girl - Luna. She revealed: "I love the word Luna. I know it’s a girl’s name, so maybe for the next baby." However, it is feared the former Spice Girl could be jeopardising her health if she has another baby. Women like Victoria, who have caesareans, are at greater risk of complications, and the risk is said to increase each time. A source said: "Victoria knows all this, but she also knows how delighted David would be to have a daughter."
David gave Victoria a ?1.2 million necklace - Jan 3, 2021
David Beckham stunned wife Victoria by giving her a ?1.2 million ruby and diamond necklace for Christmas. The ex-Spice Girl was thrilled with the gift - which has a pendant made from two huge rubies and diamonds hanging on a chain encrusted with over a hundred rubies.
A source told The People Newspaper: "Victoria loves Boucheron and was overwhelmed by the ruby and diamond necklace. It really was the perfect present. "Victoria has hinted that David get her a piece of jewellery for but she never for one moment thought he would be so generous. "Words can’t describe how delighted she was with the gift and she can’t wait for the ideal opportunity to show it off."
Mum-of-three Victoria returned the favour by giving Real Madrid Star David, 30, the world’s most prestigious limo. The Rolls-Royce Phantom was waiting for him when he returned from Spain for Christmas. An insider said: "Everybody knows David is car-mad and Victoria was convinced it would be the perfect present for him."

David Robert Joseph Beckham was born on 2nd May 1975 and despite being a renowned national and international footballer, is probably more famous for his marriage to ‘Posh’, aka Victoria Beckham, their bizarrely named children and continued coverage in the gossip press.
Beckham’s football career began its steady climb when he first signed a trainee’s contract with Man U in 1991, making his league debut in 1995.
His contribution at Man U saw the team climb the ladder that is the English Premiere League and by 1998 he had also established himself on the international scene.
In 1998 Beckham was part of the England squad at the World Cup, but received a red card in the quarter final, for kicking out in anger at Argentian player Diego Simeone. England lost the game on penalties and David’s on-pitch behaviour became the object of much criticism on his return to England.
Despite his instrumental part in Man U claiming the Treble, Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, in the 98/99 season, Beckham’s real rise to fame didn’t start until 2000 when he was promoted to captain the England team.
In 2001 his performance in a qualifying match against Greece saved the day for the England team and shortly afterwards he was voted Sports Personality of the Year. In 2002 his leadership saw an unprecedented 5-1 defeat of Germany in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers. The team went on to knock Argentina out of the cup on penalties, before losing in the quarterfinals to eventual winners Brazil.
Relations at home with Man U were strained during this time. A number of injuries left their star player incapacitated, whilst his growing celebrity status appeared to cause friction with teammates and manager alike.
In 2003 we all heard about the infamous ‘boot’ incident, when apparently, following a defeat against Arsenal, manager Alex Ferguson kicked a football boot at Beckham, it struck his eye causing a gash that required stitches.
In the summer of 2003 Beckham surprised fans by announcing a move to Spanish dream team Real Madrid, with whom he signed a four-year contract. During his time in Spain he split his time between the Spanish capital and his family who had remained at their home in England.
Despite winning over the fans in Spain and scoring well in the first season, the team itself didn’t perform well and were knocked out of both the Spanish and Champions League. It wasn’t until his fourth season in 2006/7 that the team won the Spanish Le Liga title, Beckham’s first since his arrival at the club.
During his time in Spain Beckham spent as much time in the papers as he did on the pitch, when accusations of an affair with personal assistant Rebecca Loos were printed in the tabloid press. His wife’s refusal to move to Spain fuelled yet further accusations that the marriage was on the rocks.
His career as England captain also seemed to be strained at this time, when during the 2006 World Cup he was substituted, a move that saw him weeping on the sideline. Shortly after this incident Beckham took the bold step of standing down from his position as captain and was subsequently dropped from the squad all together.
At the beginning of 2007 Beckham announced his swift departure from Real Madrid, in order to cross the Atlantic and join Los Angeles Galaxy.
2007 has seen the whole family move Stateside, with the Beckham’s continuing their domination of the world media in an attempt to ‘conquer’ the USA.
David and Victoria married on July 4th 1999 and have three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz
