Wannabe her lover? Victoria Beckham recalled meeting husband David Beckham for the very first time in the October 2016 issue of British Vogue. The fashion designer, 42, penned a letter to her younger self, titled “What I Wish I’d Known,” in the magazine.

Victoria opened up about her love life in addition to insecurities and advice she would have given herself about fashion. “Yes, love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge — although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy,” she wrote.

“While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage — you are the famous one),” she continued of the former soccer pro. “And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.)”
