Victoria Beckham has eaten the same meal every day for 26yrs – I loved it when she ate something different, says David
DAVID Beckham has revealed wife Victoria has eaten the same meal every day for 26 years – much to his dismay.
The 47-year-old said he loves sharing his food but the former Spice Girl, 48, will only ever have grilled fish and steamed veg, admitting the one time she did try something else was “one of his favourite evenings.”
Discussing his wife’s eating habits on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast in 2022, he explained: “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.”
He continued: “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.”

While their eldest son Brooklyn is on a mission to become a new top chef - and relishes using expensive ingredients - Victoria has previously revealed she won’t eat food cooked in oil, butter or sauces, and she doesn’t eat red meat or dairy.
She admitted her comfort food was a piece of whole grain toast with salt on it and on her birthday she celebrates with a cake made from fruit.
Former sports star David went on to say he enjoys having the house to himself without the fashion designer or their four children because he can cook what he wants.
David shared: “Pretty recently I was in isolation for five days because I’d just been to Italy so I came back and on one of the last days Victoria’s parents had a party and I couldn’t actually go to it. So everyone was out of the house and I secretly loved it.
“I literally had two most amazing cuts of meat. One was a T-bone and I had some English wagyu, I poured one glass of the most amazing red wine that I treated myself to because I was on my own looking forward to watching the football in the afternoon on my own. So I set the barbecue up.”
Revealing in detail what he ate, the food lover continued: “I think there’s nothing better than when you have time to get everything right.
“I had a nice tomato and shallot salad and the meat and a glass of wine and it was the most amazing meal that I had for a long time. Those are my most amazing afternoons and evenings.
“The wagyu was quite thick and I don’t like to brag but it was cooked to perfection … I put it on the grill and cooked it for six or seven minutes either side, bit of salt and a bit of pepper.
"I like my meat rare, medium at a push, but more rare and it came out perfect. And it was only me in the house so I ate it all.”
