Victoria Beckham has opened up about what was reportedly the hardest period of her marriage to David Beckham. In a new Netflix documentary, titled Beckham, the former Spice Girl speaks candidly about David’s alleged affair during his time at Real Madrid in 2003. Although the couple do not go into the details of what happened, Victoria acknowledges that it was a challenging time. She describes how at Madrid, it felt like “us against everybody else”, and the couple were disconnected.
The Beckhams have previously denied allegations of an affair, but in the documentary, Victoria makes it clear that the press attention surrounding the rumour was a nightmare. She and the children were followed by the press relentlessly, and it was one of the unhappiest periods of her life. She even admits to resenting David at the time. In the docuseries, David Beckham also talks about how the speculation affected him and his family.
Despite the challenging time, Victoria suggests that the couple came through it together. However, the series makers have been criticised for not going into more detail about David’s alleged infidelity. In their reviews of the show, publications such as The Guardian and The Independent question why such a significant episode in the Beckhams’ history was not explored more fully. Nonetheless, the series has been praised for its candid presentation of David’s life, career, and family.
David and Victoria Beckham have been married since 1999 and have four children together. The couple has faced rumours about their marriage several times, but continue to be one of the most high-profile celebrity couples.
