A Conspicuous Love Affair: Soccer, Spice, and Everything Nice Come to Hollywood

"In Hollywood, marriage is a success if it outlives milk."- Nothing describes a Hollywood couple more accurate than the way Rita Rudner, an eccentric comedian and ingenious writer, described it in this particular statement. Unquestionably, people look up to the flamboyant lives Hollywood couples live. An ordinary Saturday night would be spent having an exclusive candle lit dinner in the white extravagant yacht owned by the gentleman. Weekend vacations would mean either a luxurious trip to the Bahamas or relaxing getaway to the sandy beaches of the Caribbean. Anniversary gifts vary from a 64 Carat diamond ring to the most expensive luxury car BMW has to offer. Although Hollywood couples get to experience a dazzling type of love affair filled with comfort and style, lack of privacy is the one big price that they have to pay. Despite a much publicized relationship, there are still Hollywood couples whose relationships are founded on tough ground. An example of a dreamy couple currently in the limelight are soccer sensation David Beckham and the ever gorgeous Victoria Adams or popularly known as "Posh" Spice.

David Robert Joseph Beckham is a hunky world-class soccer player who used to play for Real Madrid and Manchester United. However, the frolicsome athlete recently signed up to join the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team which would enable him to earn a hefty $50 million a year. On the other hand, Victoria Caroline Adams is a singer, a songwriter and a designer who is popularly known as "Posh" spice which served as her nickname from the now defunct Spice Girls. The dashing David Beckham never denied the fact that "Posh" spice has always been his long time crush way back when the vivacious babe was still a Spice Girl. On their first meeting, the famous soccer player was out of words when his long time crush was standing right in front of him. After a few more friendly dates, the two finally fell head over heels in love with each other. It wasn't long before they decided to tie the knot at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. Their son Brooklyn, who was four months old then, was even the wedding's ring bearer. It has been seven years since they got married yet David and Victoria remain to be United Kingdom's "golden couple". Although rumors claim that David Beckham had an alleged affair with his personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, the two still remain to be a couple truly, madly and deeply in love with each other. David Beckham and Victoria Adams have proven that it's possible for a famous and controversial couple to last and maintain a strong relationship despite all the hassle and bustle existing in their own respective careers.

In any relationship, whether it's with a friend, a family member or with a special someone, a strong foundation really is very important to withstand the dilemmas and tensions that inevitably come. Although, Hollywood couples are in a much different situation than the usual couple, it is still up to them whether they want their relationship to withstand time or they want it to be just another Britney Spears and Kevin Federline love story. Indisputably, love, trust, loyalty and respect are a few valuable assets any Hollywood couple must possess for their relationship to outlive a milk's shelf life.
