Well, That’s 1 Way to Talk About Infidelity…

For decades, David Beckham’s infidelity has been inextricable from his otherwise wholesome, wife-guy lore. While he briefly addressed it in his four-part Netflix documentary, Beckham, his wife of 26 years, Victoria, has remained mum. But we finally got her two cents thanks to Alex Cooper. And they’re worth…well, about two cents.

On Wednesday, Posh Spice popped by the Call Her Daddy couch to discuss very little of what I personally am interested in about her life (read: Where does she stand with her eldest son and my favorite nepo baby? Did David actually cheat? Will the Spice Girls ever tour again?) Instead, when asked about how she and David remained strong through those pesky infidelity rumors, she offered only platitudes.

“We’ve had so much thrown at us,” Beckham said. “And we were talking about it because we’ve recently celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary, and by the way, people said it wouldn’t work 26 years.” OK…get to the good stuff!

She continued: “We’ve had so much thrown at us and we’ve always just been there together and just ridden the storm, ridden the damn storm.” Not very spicy. In fact, this is some severely under-seasoned gossip

In case you forgot: David’s former assistant, Rebecca Loos, claimed she had an affair with the then-soccer player in 2004. Naturally, David has long dodged the allegations. In a statement issued 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. 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.”

In 2023, the allegations were then resuscitated in Beckham. David chose simply to credit his wife: “I don’t know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.” Huh.

Beckham had infinitely more to offer about her yearlong battle with an eating disorder. She said that while she struggled to admit it to David, she has been more candid with her only daughter, Harper, because body-shaming is “still a big conversation at school” and “little girls still obsess over food.”

“When you have an eating disorder, it makes you miserable,” she said. “It is sad. It is lonely. It is all-consuming. I was present for many years, but not truly present. And, you know, that’s really tough, and you just gotta talk about it.”

Fortunately, Beckham said her honesty has since inspired many others to reach out and send sentiments of encouragement and care.

“What is interesting is I’ve had so many women message me, come up to me after seeing the documentary and say how they can relate,” Beckham said. “And I think that if my experience with [an eating disorder] and my story can help anyone or encourage anyone to talk, that’s another really good reason to have done this.”

Well, there you have it, I guess!
