Victoria Beckham ‘livid’ as explosive new book on marriage will make her ‘relive hell’

Victoria Beckham is said to be “livid” about the release of Tom Bower’s explosive new book, which is based on her marriage to David Beckham.

The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, written by the investigative biographer, includes many so-called events about their relationship through extensive research, expert sourcing and interviews with insiders.

With the book’s imminent release being just weeks before their 25th wedding anniversary next month, 50-year-old Victoria is said to unhappy with the timing and how it might portray the pair.

A source told Closer Magazine: “Victoria is livid about the upcoming book, because what was supposed to be a landmark date for them is instead going to be reliving the hell that almost broke her.

“Instead of being able to celebrate their marriage and the ups and downs of their journey and the love and life they have built together, it’s all coming under attack.” The Spice Girl is also reportedly “worried” about the book being set up to “bring down” their image and portray them as “work and money obsessed people”.

As part of the many claims in the book, serialised in The Mirror, Tom writes that the pair barely spoke at one point during their marriage and claims they lived effectively separate lives between. He goes on to say that the rough patch happened around eight years ago which led their relationship to become “a distant business” one.

The author additionally claims that their respective PR teams were “fed negative stories” about each other and that David even accused his wife and her publicist of “waging a media war” against him.

Despite these apparent challenges, the pair reportedly remained united for their brand, especially after surviving the turmoil caused by Rebecca Loos’ alleged affair allegations, which David has strongly denied.

According to Bower, serious rifts began to emerge in 2016 when the pair spent significant time apart, with David in Miami and Victoria in London. A year later, he claims that David’s trip to Glastonbury Festival didn’t go to plan when Victoria made an appearance.

Initially, David and a small group of friends, including his best mate Dave Gardner, Lady Mary Charteris and a “glamorous Australian bikini model”, attended the British festival without Victoria, who was due to arrive later from New York.

The group reportedly partied until 5am the night before Victoria’s arrival and according to Tom, one of the group members said: “There was no hassle and a great mood until she landed.”

An eyewitness reportedly said: “With her entourage she headed in a golf buggy through the scruffy campers to the VIP zone. She was furious that her husband had failed to reply to her telephone calls and had dispatched a search party.

“Eventually, David appeared. Within seconds, they were embroiled in a ferocious argument. ‘They looked quite miserable, but they managed to pose for the cameras’.”

Mirror Online has contacted a representative for Victoria for comment.

The book comes following the release of David’s self-titled Netflix documentary, in which his wife opened up about the great difficulty they faced in their marriage when he was accused of infidelity.

Speaking in his Netflix documentary, she shared: “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. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare.”

David has since said that when the pair watched the documentary back, they questioned how they got through such troubles.

He said on the SmartLess podcast: “After everything was over and we watched it finally, that’s the one thing that we looked at each other and was like, ‘I don’t know how we got through the last 27 years, but we did and we have an amazing family, amazing business and we’re happy’.

“And yeah, of course, when you’re with someone for that amount of time, of course you have your ups and downs, everybody knows that and at the end of the day we were lucky because we had each other at those moments.”
