English soccer phenom David Beckham recently discovered his mother comes from a Jewish family, which makes him a Jew.

Beckham's wife, ex-Spice Girl Victoria Adams, was so taken by the gesture that she decided to tattoo the same Biblical verse on the nape of her neck.

A source close to the couple told the London-based Sun that of all his tattoos, Beckham considered the Hebrew verse to be the most romantic.
