David Beckham enjoyed a sweet dance with his wife Victoria to Islands In The Stream in the final moments of their candid Netflix documentary.
The football legend has offered rare insight into his career both on and off the pitch in the four-part series, including marriage struggles he and Victoria faced following his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos.
The fourth and final episode of the documentary showed David preparing a plate of mussels for Victoria at their home in The Cotswolds, while Kenny Rogers’ iconic hit with Dolly Parton played in the background.
The couple both admit that making the series has been ‘like therapy’ for them, before showing off their line dancing skills.
Speaking to the camera from their country bolthole, Victoria said: ‘I probably didn’t realise half of what I’ve talked about until I sort of started this, what shall we call it? This… what shall we call it? Therapy.’

‘I feel at peace with a lot, from what maybe in our first session was still a lot pent-up anger and frustration, I understand it now,’ she added.
After preparing dinner for Victoria, David said: ‘It has been some sort of therapy this, when I’ve looked back and I see footage of her on the phone to me, saying, ”Hi babes!” and she doesn’t talk like she does now then, she was a lot more common then she is now.’
‘She’s never had an elocution lessons. I sound exactly the same as I did when I was 13!’
‘Going through every part of my life it has given me clarity on many things, and one of the things, which is the most important thing to me is what we’ve got.’
The couple then playfully danced along to Islands In The Stream together, before Victoria turned to David and said: ‘Why I feel happy now is I feel really content now, and I get that sense you feel really content now.
‘You’re passing the baton on a little and you want that for your kids.’
David then noted: ‘Yeah I’m not ready to pass the baton on yet,’ with the documentary concluding with a glimpse at his journey to start his own football team in the US, Inter Miami FC.
The four-part documentary saw the Beckhams speak emotionally about David’s life, spanning his life from his childhood through to his latest role as co-owner of US side Inter Miami.

In the final episode of the series, Victoria broke a 20-year silence to detail the pain she suffered in the aftermath of the claims about her husband David’s alleged affair with Rebecca Loos.
The designer revealed that the months afterwards were the ‘hardest’ of her life and that she no longer felt like the couple ‘had each other’.
Meanwhile, Beckham admitted he still doesn’t know how they got through the 2003 crisis but he and his former Spice Girl wife knew they had to ‘fight for their family’, and said they felt like they were ‘drowning’ when their high-profile marriage was in the headlines for months.
The former England captain also told how he ‘felt physically sick every day’ as he and Victoria faced a battle to save their marriage.
In a searingly honest interview in the fourth and final episode, Victoria appeared to fight back tears as she was asked if it was the hardest time in their marriage. ‘100 per cent,’ she confessed. ‘It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us.
‘Here’s the thing, we were against each other, if I’m being completely honest. Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.
‘But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me.’

At the time Victoria had decided to remain in the UK so that her young sons Brooklyn and Romeo could stay in their schools. The decision left Beckham lonely, and he admits that he struggled.
He said: ‘When I first moved to Spain it was difficult because I had been part of a club and a family for my whole career, from the age of 15 to when I was 27. I get sold overnight, the next minute I’m in a city, I don’t speak the language. More importantly, I didn’t have my family.
‘Every time that we woke up we felt there was something else… we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning.’
Asked how their marriage survived, David told how he feared playing football while his wife struggled to find a way through their crisis.
Shaking his head, he said: ‘I don’t know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.
‘And what we had was worth fighting for. There were some days that I would wake up and think, ‘How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk on to that training pitch? How am I going to look as if nothing’s wrong?’ I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes, ‘How am I going to do this?’
The crisis prompted Victoria to relocate to Madrid, where they bought a £3million home which she says she decorated herself. She later went on to have the couple’s third son, Cruz, now 18, in the Spanish capital.
