David is very romantic: Victoria Beckham

London: Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham says her husband David Beckham of 16 years is extremely romantic.

The former soccer star loves to "surprise" his wife and she revealed his commitment to family is what drew her to him in the first place, reported Female First.

"David is very romantic and we regularly do lovely things to surprise each other. The first time I met David, nearly 20 years ago, we were at a football match.

"After the game all the other players were having a drink with their friends and David was standing with his mum and dad and his younger sister Joanne. Family is important to him."
