Cruz has been named after friend Tom Cruise. David is a great dad and often takes his kids to practice sessions.
Worlds Richest Footballer met Victoria in 1997, and they started liking each others company. They spent time driving around, talking on the phone, dining out and going to the movies. They got engaged on January 25, 1998 at the Rookery Hall in Nantwich and were married on July 4, 1999 at the 560-acre estate of the 1794, gothic Luttrellstown Castle, near Dublin, Ireland. Twenty nine close family and friends were present at the occasion. They later had a lavish wedding reception with 230 guests, a 18 piece orchestra, fireworks and Laurent Perrier rose champagne.
Worlds Richest Footballer and Victoria like donning matching attire. They wear same type of baseball caps, sarongs, and leathers. They also like wearing matching diamond rings and matching haircuts.
Victoria and David also like tattoos. All their tattoos reflect their love for one another and the kids.
