Only Victoria Beckham could make headlines for something as simple as smiling. The British fashion designer, 39, is notoriously poker-faced in pictures, but it turns out that she has a lovely little grin — and husband David Beckham has the photograph to prove it.
On Sunday, June 23, the recently retired soccer star, 38, took to his Facebook page to share a rare picture of his wife mid-giggle. “See, I told you she smiles,” he captioned the happy shot.
In fact, the former Spice Girl and mother of four has a pretty good sense of humor about herself and her reputation. “I’m nice! Everyone thinks I’m going to be a cow,” she joked at a Vogue event in April. “I understand it, actually. I think the same when I see the pictures.”
She insists, however, that she’s not the grump people make her out to be. “I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion,” she explained to Glamour last fall.
“Fashion stole my smile!” she quipped. “I’ve created this person. And I’m not saying that’s not me, but I wouldn’t say that’s the whole me. It’s an armor that goes up.”
