Football legend David Beckham recently opened up about his thoughts on the "My Life" podcast with James Corden. The 48-year-old admits that his father had always had reservations about his illustrious football career, and it wasn't until he made his 100th international cap that he finally gave it a look.
This moment became a turning point in his career, and the father finally patted him on the shoulder and said, "You made it, son." Despite winning six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four Community Shields and a UEFA Champions League, Beckham didn't feel his father's approval until this moment.
Growing up in a loving but challenging family, David Beckham's football career was rigorously taught by his father. Ted Beckham rarely expressed admiration for his son, but he fostered a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Looking back on his upbringing, Beckham admits that his father's strict teachings, while difficult, forged him to become a tenacious athlete and a dedicated family member.
As the father of Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruise and Harper, Beckham admits that he is a little softer with his children than his father, and is more encouraging than harsh. However, his gratitude for his father's strict teachings never diminished, and it was this teaching that shaped him into the resilient athlete and family-loving man he is today.
When it comes to family, Beckham's enduring love story with his wife Victoria is equally moving. From love at first sight to walking hand in hand, David admits that he was captivated by Victoria's charm from the beginning. However, it wasn't until the 1999 wedding that he truly grasped his wife's inner strength and deep character, qualities that made his admiration for her even deeper.
Their relationship is the crystallization of common experience and mutual respect, and it is a love that has been tested in glory and challenges and has grown stronger day by day. Despite David Beckham's dedication to football and philanthropy, Victoria's transition from pop music to a well-respected fashion mogul found a spiritual belonging and a source of happiness in each other. From intimate dinners to wordless stays, their love story is built on deep affection and mutual support.
However, Beckham's love for Victoria was not just because of her beauty and talent, but also because of her tenacity, her dedication to her family and her unwavering support. In stormy moments, Victoria's tenacity and maternal instincts become the backbone of their affection, keeping them calm through the whirlpool of life.
Beckham recalls the classic song "Promise" from the "Spice Girls", which will forever leave a special memory in his heart. It was upon seeing the music video of Victoria in a short black dress that he declared to his friend Gary Neville that he would marry her one day. Thus, their love story began, two hearts met by fate and were closely connected by love.
Recently, Beckham has been there for Victoria as she shines at Paris Fashion Week, and he has been her unwavering supporter, holding up an umbrella for her from the rain and providing her with a shoulder to lean on. His pride in her, even in the face of adversity, has not diminished, which is the best proof of their deep affection and unwavering love.
As a result, the Beckham family saga continues to captivate and inspire us through the interweaving of football, family and fashion. Ultimately, as they say, love conquers all.
