BECKS:

Marriage to Victoria is always hard work

- BY MARK JEFFERIES Showbiz Editor mark.jefferies@mirror.co.uk

DAVID Beckham has opened up on the “hard work” of his increasing­ly “complicate­d” marriage to Posh.

The couple have been wed for 19 years but continue to be dogged by rumours that their relationsh­ip is far from rosy.

In a candid chat, Becks said: “To have been married the amount of time we have, it’s always hard work. It becomes a little more complicate­d.”

On what makes relationsh­ips work, he added: “Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. I’ve noticed with my children.”

The former England football ace, 43, was interviewe­d by The Sunday Project, a show on Channel 10 in Australia.

He went on to tease that he only has “one regret” in life – but fans will have to watch the full show to learn what it is.

David’s interview comes after Victoria spoke of their marriage last month during a family shoot with kids Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, and Harper, seven, for British Vogue. The former Spice Girl, 44, said: “People have been making things up about our relationsh­ip for 20 years, so David and I are pretty used to ignoring the nonsense and just carrying on as normal.

“But these things have a wider effect on the people around us, and that’s unfair.” Referring to how their relationsh­ip works, she added: “We both realise we are stronger together than we are as individual­s. “Would either of us be in the position we are in now had we not met and been together all those years ago? It’s all about the family unit.

“We are much stronger the six of us, than we would be if we were individual­s.”

In June, social media was awash with rumours that the pair were about to divorce. The topic was even trending on Facebook and Twitter.

But a spokeswoma­n for the couple slammed it as nothing more than “Chinese whispers and fake social media news”, adding: “It’s a crock of s***.”
