Victoria and David Beckham have spoken out after rumors started circulating that the two would be announcing they are splitting after almost 19 years being married. "This is nonsense," Victoria's spokesperson told Harper's Bazaar UK when asked about the claims. A representative for David also denied the rumors to the outlet.
The Mirror ran a similar statement from the two's reps. "There is no statement due or divorce. This is just fake social media news. This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time. There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers [problematic British term for game of telephone] and fake social media news."
The couple survived a similar scandal in 2004. David had been spotted with a woman believed to be his assistant at a nightclub in Madrid, sparking tabloid rumors. The woman's brother claimed she told him about her affair with David to the Daily Mail that April. But David called the brother's story false: "During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life," David said in a statement then, per E!. "What appeared this morning is just one further example. 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."
Victoria and David were married on July 4, 1999, months after welcoming their first son Brooklyn, now 19, on March 4, 1999. They have three other children together: 15-year-old Romeo, 13-year-old Cruz, and 6-year-old Harper Beckham.
Victoria, hours before rumors broke of their split, posted an Instagram of herself and Harper with a message for David, making it clear even then that things were fine. "Morning cuddles x So much love 🙏🏻 We love and miss u @davidbeckham 💕💕💕💕" Victoria wrote.
