Victoria Beckham

(Redirected from Victoria Adams)

Victoria Caroline Beckham (née Adams, April 17th 1974-) is a British singer, originally in the girl band the Spice Girls, where she was known as Posh Spice.

She was born in the county of Herefordshire as Victoria Adams

Adams married the ex-Manchester United and present England footballer David Beckham, on July 4, 1999, with whom she has two sons, Brooklyn, born March 4, 1999, and Romeo, born September 1, 2002. The couple is expecting a third child in March 2005.

An alleged plot to kidnap Victoria on November 1, 2002, was revealed by the News of the World. The court case against the alleged kidnappers collapsed after the original informant admitted that he "made the whole thing up".

Her attempts at a music career have been mixed, despite being one of the biggest celebrities in Britain, she has failed to convert that into chart success. She is the only Spice Girl not to have had a UK number one as a solo artist. She fought unsuccessful chart battles for the top spot with Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor in 2000 and Kylie Minogue in 2001. Her debut album made number 10 in the UK.

In 2003 she became involved with controversial Rap music producer Damon Dash to reignite her career.

In 2004 her happy image suffered when a string of women lined up to claim having had affairs with David, including Rebecca Loos, which were not fully denied, but she has been seen to Stand by Her Man.
