Meanwhile, Beckham's reaction to the news was quite adorable. "I never feel that I'm an attractive or sexy person," he told the PEOPLE magazine in an interview.

Speaking about wife and fashion tycoon Victoria Beckham's reaction, he flashed a shy smile and said, "I would hope that she feels this way about me all the time anyway!"

Regardless of whether people agree or disagree, the man seems to have his heart in the right place.

Congratulations Beckham, and keep making 'em swoon!
