On April 17, David Beckham’s wife celebrated her birthday. The former member of the “Spice Girls” and businesswoman turned 50. That’s quite a milestone, isn’t it? Today, millions of fans look up to her, following every post and even her designer diet. However, few realize that Victoria Beckham once had insecurities about her appearance and upbringing. Details on this coming up in the next couple of minutes.

Looking at Victoria Beckham today, it’s hard to believe that this confident woman once disliked her appearance and background. Yet, it’s worth noting that through diligent self-improvement, she achieved fame and popularity. By the time of her marriage to David, she was already well-known and could boast a fan base.

But what did Victoria Beckham look like and, importantly, what was she like before fame? You probably remember the slender member of the “Spice Girls” who preferred little black dresses and high-heeled shoes. That’s why she was nicknamed Posh Spice.

Unfortunately, long before her time with the pop group, Victoria was a shy and self-conscious girl. She avoided discussions about her parents’ wealth. It’s quite possible that this complex still lingers today. Just recently, David caught his wife lying about her father’s car.

Of course, we’re talking about the Rolls Royce, which not everyone can afford even today. Undoubtedly, children at school tried to provoke the future designer in various ways. She was different from them. She wasn’t like everyone else. In class, she was known as Vicky-Sticky. And amidst bullying, Victoria considered herself unattractive and even felt self-conscious about her figure. Needless to say, this led her to frequently diet, which later affected her health.

At that time, she thought her figure could influence how others treated her. By the age of 20, Victoria Beckham received the devastating diagnosis of infertility. It was a serious blow for her. Despite building a career as a singer, she dreamed of a large family.

Fortunately, the diagnosis turned out to be incorrect. In 1998, Victoria and David learned they were expecting their first child, Brooklyn. Later, as you know, the couple welcomed two more sons and a daughter. Although, of course, there were talks of Beckham’s infidelity and even Rebecca Loos’ confessions along their journey. Nevertheless, the star couple managed to overcome these trials and prove that true love knows no obstacles.
