‘So are you divorcing me?’ What puzzled Posh asked Becks...
IT was, for just a few brief hours, the love split that enthralled the nation. And no one, it seems, was more surprised than the pair supposedly breaking up. The Mail on Sunday can reveal that when Victoria Beckham saw the social media rumours about her marriage, she jokingly asked husband David, who was in the US at the time: ‘Are you divorcing me?’ The designer, who was at home in London when she saw the bizarre claims – described as ‘laughable and embarrassing’ by their representatives – was said to be bemused but cracked jokes about it with friends. A friend of the couple said: ‘Victoria was taken aback, but she found the whole thing very funny. They have had a sense of humour about this because it’s so ridiculous. ‘They are stunned that so many people have believed it, and also stunned that it so quickly got around. They have no idea where or how it started. It’s quite the mystery.’ The rumours began on Friday after Victoria, 44, posted a picture of herself on Instagram cuddling her six-year-old daughter Harper, with the caption: ‘So much love.’
Shortly afterwards, a high street bookmaker suspended betting on the pair divorcing.
Meanwhile, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the Beckhams will show a united front next month when they appear as a family for the first time in an interview and shoot for Vogue magazine.
To mark the tenth anniversary of Posh’s troubled clothing label, she, David, 43, and their children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper – will be interviewed for the cover feature.
Sources at Conde Nast, the publishing house which owns Vogue, say they expect it to be one of their best-selling issues.
One said: ‘It is such a coup to get the whole family together for one really special interview. It will celebrate Victoria’s life as a businesswoman but also as a mother and a wife. Everyone is really excited, nobody more so than her.’
