From tabloid targets to national treasures, Posh and Becks have not only stood the test of time but, in many ways, risen above it.
How many blokes are looking as fantastic at 49 as David Beckham?
Never content without being outdone, you could argue that Victoria is looking even better than her husband.
It might have something to do with a meal she’s been eating religiously for over 25 years, as told by Becks himself.
The former England international, free kick sensation, serial trophy winner, Inter Miami founder, and all-round lovely guy lifted the lid in an interview with the River Cafe Table 4 podcast in 2022.
He’s rarely shy about gushing about – and teasing – the love of his life, who’s no slouch on the achievements front herself.
Along with being an enduring style icon, Posh remains one of the most celebrated pop stars in the world thanks to her time with the Spice Girls, and since then she has become a revered fashion designer.
"I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I'm eating something great I want everyone to try it," he said.
"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."
Shocker: grilled fish and steamed vegetables might be good for you. All those vitamins and whole foods seem to be treating Posh right, anyway.
He added: "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."
It just goes to show that different diets can yield remarkably similar effects.
That said, the trick to their ongoing great looks might have something to do with their marital bliss.

Happily married for over 25 years, the supercouple have four children: Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.
If the Netflix documentary ‘Beckham’ is anything to go by, they’re just as sweet on each other as when they first started dating.
David’s boyish teasing certainly hasn’t eased up, especially as his insistence that she admit her dad drove a Bentley has become a much-loved meme.
It’s a great documentary that’s well worth a watch for some 90s and 00s nostalgia, and a deeper insight into what went on behind the scenes of one of the most heavily-papped couples in the world.
And who knows? Maybe Posh is onto something with the grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
