David and Victoria Beckham were reportedly leading separate lives as their marriage reached a crisis point, according to shocking revelations in a new book.
While the couple hinted at marital problems following Loos' allegations, more recent issues were overlooked. Serious cracks in the marriage reportedly began to appear in 2016, with the couple spending increasingly larger amounts of time apart - David in Miami and Posh in London, reports the Mirror. One such planted story involved "an extraordinary exchange that had occurred during the Beckhams' summer holidays" in which Victoria had reportedly told her children: "Daddy's not a cheat."
"Worse still, why could he not understand the consequence of his own stupidity? Why, she wailed, had he become the enemy of her ambition? Without any answers, she fled to a Baden-Baden spa hotel for two days. The trip was to recover her 'emotional balance' but she was overwhelmed by rage and recrimination."
Top showbiz news The group, which included the married Lady Mary Charteris and a " glamorous Australian bikini model", had partied until 5am the night before Victoria's arrival. The party resumed at lunchtime the next day, only to be interrupted by a phone call informing them of Victoria's arrival. "Two years after the wedding, Victoria was irritated by the publicity surrounding Gardner's 'crisis talks to save his marriage'. His wife had become notorious for lesbian affairs with her Primrose Hill neighbours and treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction at The Priory."
