Victoria Beckham’s throwback to a romantic 1997 trip with David Beckham in Portofino stirs fans’ emotions, inspiring a new perfume and nostalgic social media reactions.
Bollywood Fever: Victoria Beckham’s steamy recollection of her 1997 European summer getaway with her husband, David Beckham, has left fans divided, with some feeling “uncomfortable” and others eager for more details.
On Saturday, the Spice Girls alum shared throwback photos on Instagram of herself and the former soccer player looking loved-up on the coast of Italy. “Portofino in 1997 was a very, very romantic trip,” she captioned the snaps. “I remember how excited I was to be there with David for the first time. The intensity of the two of us being together those 48 hours really was amazing… Kisses @DavidBeckham.”
This memorable trip inspired Victoria to create a fragrance for her Victoria Beckham Beauty brand: Portofino ’97 Eau de Parfum ($200). The scent, described on her website, provokes “A new infatuation. A secret escape. The seductive scent of desire,” aiming to capture the “adrenaline,” “flirtation,” and “infatuation” of the couple’s budding romance.
While Victoria, 50, kept the trip’s details to a minimum, fans speculated about the romantic intensity behind her post and perfume inspiration. “This horny caption I’m uncomfortable,” one person wrote on X, while another noted that the perfume descriptions were “super horny.”
However, some fans defended the post. “Uncomfortable or jealous?” one fan clapped back, with another admitting, “[Not going to lie], I’m just jealous.”
Meanwhile, many fans celebrated the couple’s enduring love after nearly 25 years of marriage. “I’m very comfortable, and as a matter of fact, I’d like for her to tell me more,” one supporter wrote. Another gushed, “I want their love so bad like they are obsessed with each other still,” and a third assumed, “Oh so they got freaky.”
Victoria’s public admiration for her husband is well-known, as she often raves about him on social media. Despite affair rumors surrounding David over the years, the duo has consistently presented a united front.
The pop star and the athlete, who have been together since 1997, share four children: Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12.
