Fans will get an insight into the real lives of the Beckhams in a new documentary - which shows David as a "perfect" house-proud husband and wife Victoria joking around.
The multi-part series focused on David's career is coming out later this year and Netflix says it will "go beyond the shine of stardom".
A teaser clip was shown by Netflix at a London media event and it highlighted a side to the couple's relationship that is rarely seen.
In the footage, the married pair are at home with former England captain Becks moaning he has to “tidy up” around the house after his family all go to bed and he is obsessed with cleaning their candles and trimming the wicks.
Becks, who has discussed being diagnosed with OCD in the past, also cleans the kitchen so it is spotless each night before bed.

Becks says: “It’s tiring going round every single candle cleaning it, clipping the wick. I clip the candle wicks. I clean the glass. That’s my pet hate, the smoke around the inside of the candle. I know it’s weird.”

Looking over at his wife he adds: “I’m not sure it’s appreciated so much by my wife in all honesty.”
Victoria then says he is “perfect” and Becks replies: “why does it sound so sarcastic when she says that?”.
Victoria then says she has to go and is “off to the fashion factory” meaning her work. But Becks replies: “No, where are you really going?” and giggling she says: “For a facial” and heads out of the house.
The Netflix series is likely to feature the Beckham children as well as it promises interviews with the family, friends, and football figures who have been part of his life.
It also says it will explore David Beckham ’s working class beginnings in East London, and "the drive and determination that led him to become one of the most recognisable and scrutinised athletes of all time".
Fans will also get a glimpse into their home life (INSTAGRAM)In a second clip from the series, Beckham, 47, sheds tears as he recalls scoring against Greece in 2001 and making “people happy”, redeeming himself after his World Cup red card which saw him face abuse and trolling.
The goal meant England qualified for the World Cup and is one of the more memorable moments he had on the pitch.
He says: "I just wanted to do something that would rectify what I did in '98."

Beckham's tidiness and obsessiveness with keeping candles clean and with perfect wicks will not be a complete surprise to his fans as he has spoken in the past about liking everything in order.
Back in 2006 in a TV Interview he said: "I've got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs.
"I'll go into a hotel room and before I can relax, I have to move all the leaflets and all the books and put them in a drawer. Everything has to be perfect."

'He's super, super tidy whereas I'm a germaphobe. Everywhere has to be clean. I disinfect everywhere but I am a bit messy, what can you do?"
The Beckhams are not the only ones who are getting a Netflix documentary series this year.
Other projects will include an untitled Robbie Williams documentary series about his life and career where he recalls a time where he went through a "nervous, mental breakdown".
There will also be a film called Wham! Which features George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s personal archive including remarkable and never-before-seen footage and unheard interviews.
Netflix recently had huge global success with their two part documentary series about the life of Pamela Anderson called Pamela, A Love Story.
