The star is worried shock claims could rock her family’s reputation
They have appeared stronger and more loved up than ever in recent years, but a new book released last week, ahead of their 25th wedding anniversary, allegedly exposes the secret highs and lows of David and Victoria Beckham’s marriage.
In The House Of Beckham: Money, Sex And Power, Tom Bower claims to have “unearthed a succession of revelations shedding surprising insight into the reality of Brand Beckham”. Using research, interviews and sources, he questions if their lives are “as perfect as they would like the world to believe”. His book comes eight months after their Netflix documentary Beckham aired.

Tom claimed that the former Spice Girl, who had relocated to Spain too in support, along with their sons Brooklyn and Romeo, was “lonely and unhappy”.

David – who has denied the adultery claims – and Victoria addressed the allegations in their documentary. “There were some horrible stories that were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage,” he said. Vic added, “One hundred per cent. It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us. 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 tha
