I sort of said hello and then just went back to Manchester. I was quite upset and gutted.”<\/span><\/p>\nA week later, David got another chance when Victoria attended another game in Manchester.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nPeter Wilcock – PA Images\/PA Images via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n“She’d had a couple of drinks, so I decided, ‘Why not? I’ll try to get her number,'” David shared on <\/span>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/span><\/i> in 2020. “We talked for about an hour at the player’s lounge and then she actually got the train up that day, so she actually wrote her number down on the train ticket, which I still have.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe pair both described this moment as a love-at-first-sight kind of feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“I felt that, yeah. You did, I hope,” David teased Victoria on the <\/span>Michael Parkinson Show<\/span><\/em>. “It was definitely as soon as I seen her. I didn’t even have to meet her. I just wanted to meet her. I just fancied her. It was just a case of getting together then.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“I knew as soon as I met him. One of the most attractive things I found with David is that he shared the same sort of family values as me,” Victoria recalled. “He’s a very kind person. We’re really good friends on top of everything.” \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nJanuary 1998<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nAfter David popped the question at Rookery Hall Hotel in Cheshire, England, the couple announced their engagement with Victoria flashing her massive marquise-cut diamond ring from her future husband.

She shared in her 2001 autobiography, <\/span>Learning to Fly<\/span><\/em>, that she came home and punched the athlete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI hadn\u2019t planned it. I hadn\u2019t punched anybody before. Just instinct,” she wrote at the time. “I just felt angry and hurt.”<\/span><\/p>\nThe couple both spoke about having suicidal thoughts amid the scandal. They later fled to Lake Como in Italy to get away and came out of the trip together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nVictoria and David later spoke with TV host Michael Parkinson about the scandal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“As much as you can trust someone and they say, ‘Obviously, I haven’t done this. I don’t know this person.’ As much as you want to believe that person, they’ve still put that element of doubt in your mind,” Victoria explained of the situation. “People can say what they want about me, but David is the one person — and Brooklyn — that’s mine.”<\/span><\/p>\n“The worst thing for me was seeing Victoria hurting so much,” David said at the time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nMarch 1999<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nTheir first son, Brooklyn, was both on March 4, 1999. Victoria later shared that he received his name because she had always liked the girl’s name “Brooke.” The fact that she discovered she was pregnant while on tour in Brooklyn, New York, with the Spice Girls was a coincidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nJune 1999<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nThe couple rocked one of their most iconic looks ever at the Versace Club Gala Party in London.
