Beckham is married to English footballer David Beckham with whom she has three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. As of 2009, the couple's joint wealth is estimated at £125 million.
In 1994, Victoria Adams (as she was then) joined the all-girl group the Spice Girls, first called "Touch," with Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm. She had previously answered an advertisement in The Stage in March 1993 which required girls who were "street smart, extrovert, ambitious and able to sing and dance".
In 1996, the group's first single, "Wannabe", went to Number 1 in the UK and US, and another 29 countries. It was followed by nine further Number 1 singles from their albums Spice, Spiceworld and Forever.
Filmmaker Bob Smeaton directed an official film of the tour entitled Spice Girls: Giving You Everything, which was first aired on Fox8 in Australia. It later aired in the UK on 31 December 2007 on BBC One.
