David Beckham recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and spoke about the Spice Girls’ unexpected reunion on Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday. In the episode that aired on May 8, 2024, Beckham narrated the entire incident and stated that he was equally surprised to see the girl group on his wife’s birthday last month.

Beckham mentioned that he is “their biggest fan":

“I had a whole video planned where me and my kids recreated the 'Mama' video. My son, who plays the guitar and sings, had a song, and he sang 'Mama,' and all of a sudden all the girls got up — and I'm their biggest fan, you know?"

Beckham continued:

"I tend not to tell my wife that. I tend to tell her that I fancied her, but she was a Spice Girl. I love that about her... So I was a fan."

Furthermore, when the host, Jimmy Kimmel, asked David about how long had it been since the girls sang together, Beckham responded:

"It's actually been 12 years since they did the Olympics in the U.K. but over 15 years since they actually were on a stage together. So obviously having them all there that night, and I didn't expect them to all get up on stage.”

Victoria Beckham, born in 1974, turned 50 years old on April 17, 2024, and the fashion designer celebrated with her family, and celebrity friends in London. On the other hand, the English girl group, Spice Girls was formed in 1994 and consisted of Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham.
