But the famous soccer player said that [he and Victoria](http://motto.time.com/4477345/victoria-beckham-you-are-not-the-prettiest-or-the-thinnest/) still go through rough patches, and even renewed their wedding vows recently. “We have renewed our vows since \[our first wedding\]. It was a lot more private, about six people there in our house,” [Beckham said](http://www.etonline.com/news/208799%5Fdavid%5Fbeckham%5Freveals%5Fhe%5Frenewed%5Fwedding%5Fvows%5Fwith%5Fvictoria%5Fbeckham%5Fmarriage%5Fis%5Fdifficult%5Fat%5Ftimes/) in a interview with BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. “We’re a strong family unit. Of course you make mistakes over the years, and we all know marriage is difficult at times. It’s about working through it.” Beckham says they have to draw the line between their personal life and their outer image. “People have talked about, ‘Do we stay together because it’s a brand?’ Of course not,” he said. “We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children,” he continued. “Do you go through tough times? Of course. That’s part of relationships. It’s part of marriages. It’s part of having children. It’s part of having responsibilities.” Read more at [ET.com](http://www.etonline.com/news/208799%5Fdavid%5Fbeckham%5Freveals%5Fhe%5Frenewed%5Fwedding%5Fvows%5Fwith%5Fvictoria%5Fbeckham%5Fmarriage%5Fis%5Fdifficult%5Fat%5Ftimes/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/"},"headline":"Victoria and David Beckham Recently Renewed Their Vows","datePublished":"2017-01-30T17:23:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:04:35.538Z","description":"‘We all know marriage is difficult at times’","url":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt405e5d5d9e226fd2/6988b7d097cdffc6ca6af4e1/victoria-david-beckham-marriage.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Lasher","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-lasher/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt405e5d5d9e226fd2/6988b7d097cdffc6ca6af4e1/victoria-david-beckham-marriage.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"British Fashion Awards 2015 - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"David Beckham and Victoria Beckham attend the British Fashion Awards 2015 at London Coliseum on November 23, 2015 in London, England.","creditText":"Anthony Harvey—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/","name":"Victoria and David Beckham Recently Renewed Their Vows"}}]}] ```
