Victoria Beckham: ‘You have to be quite controlling’ Star on David marriage rumours
VICTORIA BECKHAM has addressed the constant speculation about her 19-year marriage to David Beckham, saying it is “quite frustrating” during an interview with The Guardian.
Victoria Beckham, who wed David Beckham back in July 1999, has spoken candidly about how she “doesn’t get involved” when their relationship comes into question. The fashion designer claimed that you have to be “quite controlling” as “people do believe what they read”. The 44-year-old deemed split rumours “really annoying” as she promoted her first Reebok collection. The Spice Girls hitmaker said she leaves it all to her team to deal with as she juggles her brand with her famous clan.
It can get quite frustrating, but I leave it to my PR team
In a candid interview with The Guardian’s Weekend magazine, Victoria was asked how she coped when narrative about her marriage took over.
She stated: “It can get quite frustrating, but I leave it to my PR team. I don’t get involved.
“… You do have to be quite controlling because people do believe what they read, and when it’s completely fabricated, that’s really annoying.”
The mother-of-four continued: “People are interested in my personal life. And sometimes that works in my favour and sometimes it’s things that I don’t like.
“I’m not going to let it get me down.”
Meanwhile, when it comes to the scrutiny on her children, Victoria said she used to say photographers were there because their grandparents missed them.
Victoria and David are parents to Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, and seven-year-old Harper.
She added: ”It was a way of explaining it to them when they were too young to understand. They are used to it now. They've all grown up with it.
"They understand that they have to act in a responsible way because of it. But they will make mistakes - we all do. And theirs will be in the public eye."
During the chat, she also confirmed she would not be making a cameo during the Spice Girls tour later this year.
Victoria later took to Twitter to comment on her quotes, sharing a picture of the sultry cover which saw her looking at something out of shot.

It comes just days after David Beckham was pictured on the set of Peaky Blinders as season five filming started.
