More about Victoria Beckham and David Beckham
Victoria Beckham met David Beckham, who played for Manchester United in 1997. The two quickly fell in love and got engaged in 1998. Victoria and David welcomed their first child the following year. Later, in July 1999, the couple tied the knot in Dublin. Over the years, the two got blessed with four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. However, their fairytale was not devoid of problems or controversies. There were reports which claimed that David Beckham cheated on his wife, Victoria.
As per a report by The Sun, Victoria Beckham talked about emotional distress she suffered after her husband, David’s cheating buzz. The renowned English footballer also shared that their relationship faced significant strain when he was accused of having a brief romantic encounter during his time playing in Spain back in 2003. The Beckhams have always denied the rumours that David had an affair during his time with Real Madrid in 2003.
For the unversed, during that time Victoria was residing in England with their two older sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, while David was playing for Real Madrid in Spain. As expected, distance affected their relationship. Victoria decided to relocate to Spain to support David during the aftermath of the rumours. She said:
“It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us. Here’s the thing — we were against each other, if I’m being completely honest. You know, up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us against everybody else, but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.”
Victoria Beckham describes the time they were in Spain as a nightmare. She further mentioned that she felt like she did not have each other’s support during that time in her life. While that phase is over, the couple faced another bump when their son, Brooklyn, opened up about family facing trouble and lashed out at his parents.
