David Beckham threw ‘nuclear bomb’ at marriage – leaving Victoria sobbing

Victoria Beckham was left “overwhelmed by rage” when her husband David Beckham made a shocking admission about their marriage, according to a new tell-all book.

The former footballer said their marriage was “hard work” during an interview with Australian TV show The Sunday Project back in 2018. Author Tom Bower has now claimed David’s comments infuriated his wife.

In his explosive new book The House of Beckham, Bower has claimed Victoria’s publicist reportedly leaked a story to a journalist about how she was left with “rage and recrimination” following David’s interview. Bower said the Spice Girls star hadn’t been warned in advance about the chat.

The author claims she was instead in “disbelief” as she watched the interview on her mobile. Tom said: “It was like a nuclear bomb had gone off.” He added: “Her husband’s disloyalty baffled her. His truthfulness had destroyed her efforts to conjure up an image of happy families. Why, she sobbed, would David embarrass her?”

Victoria is also alleged to have accused her husband of becoming “the enemy of her ambition”. Following David’s bombshell interview, she checked into a Baden-Baden spa hotel for two days.

In The House of Beckham, it’s claimed Victoria’s trip was so she could recover her “emotional balance”. Elsewhere in David’s chat with The Sunday Project, he admitted he has “grown to ignore some of the negative stuff” that is said about him and Victoria.

He added: “But to be married for the amount of time that we have, it’s always hard work, everybody knows that but you make it work. You make difficult situations like travelling away, being away from each other, you make it work.”

The couple also recently opened up about their marriage troubles in their Netflix docuseries, Beckham. In the show, Victoria tearfully admitted they “were against each other” during the lowest point in their marriage, while David confessed: “I don’t know how we got through it.”
