The moment when information about the alleged infidelity of football player David Beckham with his wife Victoria appeared in the media turned out to be the most difficult for the star couple. The athlete’s wife herself spoke about this in a Netflix documentary dedicated to his life.
The streaming service presented the film, which premiered in London. She was visited by the Beckham family — David and Victoria themselves, as well as their children — sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper.
The documentary is dedicated to the entire path of a football player in big-time sports, as well as his coaching career and private life off the field. The film included archival footage and interviews with both David himself and his loved ones.
During the filming, the creators touched upon a topic that was painful for the family. In 2003, when Beckham was playing for Real Madrid, he was suspected of having an affair. The tabloids wrote that David began an affair with his own assistant and the daughter of a diplomat, Rebecca Luz. Insiders wrote that the football player felt lonely in Spain while his wife was in London — that’s how his relationship with Luz began.
Both David’s family and the Spaniard herself never confirmed this information. In the documentary, Victoria commented on rumors in the press for the first time. According to her, at that time she and her husband had to go through the most difficult times. “It was the most difficult period because it seemed like the world was against us. The fact is that we ourselves were against each other, to be honest.”- she said.
The former lead singer of the Spice Girls added that this situation was a real test for her relationship with her husband. “Before Madrid it seemed like we were against everyone else, but we were connected, we were together. In Spain we didn’t feel like we belonged to each other, and that’s sad.”Victoria emphasized.
She admitted that the situation with the alleged betrayal greatly affected her condition. “It was a nightmare. It was a real circus. Everyone loves it when the circus comes to town, right? But only if you don’t participate in it yourself.”noted the football player’s wife.
Now an idyll reigns in the couple — the spouses regularly share family photos on social networks. Nevertheless, David admits that it is difficult for him to remember the old days: “I don’t know how we survived it. Victoria is everything to me. Seeing her pain was incredibly difficult, but we are fighters.”.
