Victoria Beckham's 'four-word message' to kids over David's alleged cheating sent him into a spiral

Victoria Beckham had a defiant message for her children amid reports of David Beckham's alleged cheating, according to an explosive new book.

The couple had many ups and downs in their marriage and were rocked by rumors about David's affairs over the years. Cracks began to appear in their relationship in 2016 and author Tom Bower claimed things had “worse down” two years later in his new book The House of Beckham.

Bower claimed the couple turned on 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 vacation.”

During the incident, Bower claims Victoria told her children, “Daddy's not a cheater.” When David read the report, he was reportedly “furious that Victoria and her publicist were waging a media war against him.”

Victoria and David have spoken openly about their marital difficulties. 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 that she punched David the next time she saw him. However, she decided to believe David after a trip to Italy to resolve their problems.

Five years after their marriage, David was rumored to have had an affair with his assistant, Rebecca Loos. The former footballer firmly denied any romantic relationship with her.

At the time, he said: “Over the past few months, I have become accustomed to reading more and more ridiculous stories about my private life. What has emerged this morning is just a further example. The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special children. No third party can do anything to change these facts.

David addressed the rumors 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 Victoria and I had been under that kind of pressure in our marriage.”

Victoria also admitted that it was the “most difficult time” for them as a couple. She explained: “It’s I 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 comes out June 20 and is available for purchase on Amazon.
