Wayne Rooney, famed for his time alongside David Beckham in the England squad, has opened up about a memorable dinner invitation from the Beckhams during their Madrid days. Reflecting on the experience, Rooney revealed that Victoria Beckham’s behaviour was unlike what many might expect from the style icon and former Spice Girl.
“I was invited to David and Victoria’s home in Madrid, and Victoria’s hospitality truly stood out,” Rooney said. “She was warm, down-to-earth, and incredibly kind — nothing like the cool image you sometimes see in the media.”
Rooney’s anecdote offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of one of football’s most famous couples. Despite their high-profile status and glamorous reputation, the Beckhams’ genuine warmth and welcoming nature left a lasting impression on Rooney.
