Victoria Beckham had a defiant message for her kids amid reports of David Beckham’s alleged cheating, according to a bombshell new book.
The couple have had a lot of ups and downs in their marriage and have been rocked by reports of David’s rumoured affairs over the years. Cracks started to show in their relationship in 2016 and author Tom Bower has claimed things “deteriorated” two years later in his new book The House of Beckham.
Bower has claimed the couple turned against each other and had each of their publicists “feed negative stories” about the other. One story involved an “extraordinary exchange that occurred during the Beckhams’ summer holidays”.

During the incident, Bower alleges Victoria told her children: “Daddy’s not a cheat.” When David read the report, he’s believed to have been “raged that Victoria and her publicist were waging a media war against him.”
Victoria and David have been open about their marriage struggles. When the couple first got together, David was accused of cheating with another woman while Victoria was on tour and pregnant with her first son, Brooklyn Beckham.

In her 2001 autobiography Learning To Fly, Victoria revealed she punched David when she next saw him. However, she decided to believe David following a trip to Italy to work through their problems.
Five years into their marriage, David was rumoured to have had an affair with his assistant, Rebecca Loos. The former footballer strongly denied any romantic involvement with her.

At the time, he said: “During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. What appeared this morning is just one further example. The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts.”
David addressed the rumours again in his and Victoria’s new Netflix documentary. He said: “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.”
Victoria also admitted it was the “hardest period” for them as a couple. She explained: “It felt like the world was against us. And here’s the thing; we were against each other, if I’m being completely honest.”
The House of Beckham by Tom Bower is released on June 20 and is available to buy from Amazon.
