His relationship with his wife and four children, whose personal lives have remained largely private over the years, will also be showcased in the series. His wife, Victoria Beckham is no stranger to the big screen though. The former Spice Girl has already starred in several documentaries including Victoria’s Secrets in 2002 and Victoria Beckham: Coming to America in 2007.
With Beckham having retired as professional football player in 2013, the series will also give focus to his newest business ventures. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid football now owns Inter Miami FC and is a part-owner of Salford city.
