Victoria Beckham was engaged to an electrician before David. What is known about the first fiancé of the Spice Girls star

The famous English footballer David Beckham, who recently celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary with his wife Victoria Beckham, was not the singer's first love. The singer was engaged to a simple guy, Mark Wood, who worked as an electrician.

The young couple's relationship began even before the British artist auditioned for the Spice Girls, writes the Daily Mirror. The star met her first boyfriend at the age of 14.

For the first time, Mark Wood raised the question of engagement in 1994, when Victoria Beckham joined the popular British female pop group. At the time, the 20-year-old singer was deeply in love with the electrician. Therefore, even though the wedding never took place, she used the name of her boyfriend on the first Spice Girls merchandise, calling herself Victoria Adams Wood.

The couple's relationship lasted until 1996 when the singer proposed to break up after six years of living together.

"He wasn't the right person for me, I didn't enjoy it, so it had to end," the singer explained her decision in an interview.

The celebrity added that she still has her engagement ring with her ex-boyfriend: "But I didn't give the ring back to him! I still have it because it was an 'evil ring'. Isn't that terrible? It makes me too unrealistic."

For the first few years after the divorce, Mark Wood never said a bad word about his ex-fiancée. He always said that his relationship with Victoria was special, and he was sorry that this part of his life was over because they had spent a lot of time together.

However, the situation changed after the singer spoke negatively about her former lover in the documentary Being Victoria Beckham in 2002.

"For some reason, we got engaged. He was an alarm engineer. I just wish he had stayed in the closet where I met him at my mom's house," the Briton said.

Mark Wood was offended by the words of the former Spice Girls member, so he decided to take revenge on the singer, the Daily Mail reports. The electrician spoke about their sex life in the documentary The Secrets of Victoria Beckham, which was released in 2004. The man frankly stated that Victoria's current form has changed significantly since their divorce.
