David Beckham’s wife has bought him some pigs. Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham paid $2,400 for two miniature pot-bellied Gloucester Old Spot cross-breed animals for the soccer star as an early Christmas present
“What can you possibly buy the multi-millionaire, superstar footballer who has absolutely everything? In the case of David Beckham, the answer is, obviously, a pair of cuddly designer piglets. Victoria fell in love with them and realized she’d found the perfect present.”
The former Spice Girls star was said to love the pigs – which David wants to name Pinky and Perky after characters in a children’s TV show – because they are easy to house-train. The source added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper:
“”Micro pigs are incredibly clean and easy to train. They will be given the run of the place and could even end up watching TV on David and Victoria’s laps.”
Pigs are getting more and more popular. A few months ago I met up with some friends in Brooklyn for brunch on Sunday and there was a couple in the park with two HUGE pigs. Everyone was gathering around them and taking pictures. My children were completely amazed. They do say pigs are cleaner than other animals…
Would you get a pig as a pet?

I would get a miniature pig but not a full size one. They’d be too hard to care for.
Do you really think Victoria Beckham is going to clean up pig poop? There is staff for that.
“designer pigs”… gross. Well, she kinda looks like one so I can see why she would want to get some as pets to keep her company.
Pigs are adorable and very intelligent. I would totally get one. I’d even let him roll around in the mud for fun.
BTW, I don’t think Vic is as high-maintenance as we think. She may look very chic and put together all the time, but I really don’t think she’s a snob to everything.
dont see what’s so interesting about having a pig as a pet. well their kids will really enjoy them.
Dosn’t it kind of ruin the suprise, I mean Xmas is still 7 weeks away (holly crap, 7 WEEKS!!! Better start saving lol)
I don’t think I would get a pig for a pet.
We have just adopted the Beckhams pig brother (Bibo), he is lovely !!!!
doubt she moves a finger to clean anything. if she has pets, she has staff that takes care of the pets. when i read this i thought their kids probably going to enjoy the pigs the most.
Somehow I just can’t see Victoria with a pet. She’s way too high maintenance and too clean to have one.
She wanted clones of herself around to keep David company when she wasn’t around…LoL
I would totally get a pig.
I know, I was thinking that neck hair is out of control!
that neck hair of his is disgusting
I SPY…something vile and disgusting looking that makes me want to vomit. Why his neck hair of course!! AHAHAHA
yeah its pretty gross.
I could look past it…lol
I don’t get why celebrities buy such expensive pets. These $2400 pigs probably don’t look any different than $24 ones. I have heard they are easier to take of.
i cannot wrap my mind around this post. victoria beckham + a pig?? yeah right
I’m sure they’ll hire people to take care of their pigs for them.
I would not have a pig. I am lucky to have a Maine Coon cat.
