Victoria Beckham revealed the truth behind her diet after husband David claimed she has eaten the same meal for 25 years

Victoria Beckham has responded to her husband David's claims that she has ate nothing but grilled fish and steamed vegetables for the past 25 years.

The former Spice Girl and footballer Beckham have been married since 1999 and have four children together in the form of sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, as well as daughter Harper Seven.

Posh Spice and 'Golden Balls' - as Beckham was christened by Victoria - began dating in 1997 after she watched a Manchester United match, where the former England midfielder of course came through the youth team ranks as part of the famous Class of 92.

Beckham won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and the Intercontinental Cup during his time at Old Trafford, before moving to Real Madrid in 2003 for a £25m transfer fee.

The free-kick specialist won the La Liga title and the Supercopa de Espana during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, before switching to MLS side LA Galaxy in 2007.

His time in the USA also included two loan spells to AC Milan in Serie A, before bringing down the curtain on his playing career in the summer of 2013 following a stint at French side Paris Saint-Germain, while Beckham also picked up 115 caps for England, putting him third on the Three Lions' all-time appearances list.

A few years ago in an interview on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast, the Inter Miami co-founder spoke about his love of food and wine, but revealed it was not something that his wife shares and she instead for most of their marriage has ate the same meal of grilled fish and steamed vegetables every day.

He said: "I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I'm eating something great I want everyone to try it.

"Unfortunately I'm married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.

"Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.

"The only time she's probably ever shared something that's been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most amazing thing.

"It was one of my favourite evenings. I can't remember what it was but I know she's not eaten it since."

Victoria has now responded to her husband's claim about her eating habits and explained why she has stuck to it for so long.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, she believes her diet helps to explain the good state her skin is in even though she has now reached the age of 50, adding that she was very conscious about having acne in her 20s.

She also avoids certain wheats and flours, and will often have wheat flour instead of cassava flour.

Victoria said: "It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate.

"And yeah, probably I did look stern in a lot of pictures, but I was so uncomfortable.

"Was there a time when I used to scroll through all the comments about me? Probably. But now I just don’t have the time."
