David Beckham is making it clear Victoria Beckham was not raised in "working class" household. In his new documentary, the pair share a funny moment about the designer and former Spice Girl's roots.

In Netflix's docuseries Beckham about David's life and career, the pair detail the ups and downs of their romance. Looking back at the earlier days, Victoria says during an individual interview, "I think also we both come from families that work really hard. Both of our parents work very hard, we’re very working class."

The all-star athlete quickly intervenes and pokes his head into the room. "Be honest!" he told Victoria, whom he married in 1999.

Though Victoria claims, "I am being honest," David challenges her with a question.

"What car did your dad drive you to school in?"

Victoria tells him, "It's not a simple answer," adding, "It depends."

After being grilled by her husband, Victoria confesses, "OK, in the ’80s my dad had a Rolls Royce."

Also in the four-part series, David and Victoria spoke out about rumors that he had an affair while he was playing for Real Madrid in Spain in 2004.

"It was the hardest period for us because it felt like the world was against us. And here’s the thing, we were against each other, if I’m being completely honest," Victoria said in Beckham. "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."
