Viva Forever Posh & David's No-Divorce Deal

The Beckhams go into PR overdrive to save their brand

It was supposed to look like a candid Instagram snap, with David Beckham tenderly touching his wife’s shoulder at a lunch for Men’s Fashion Week in London. The caption read, “Moment captured.”

But there was nothing candid about the picture. Instead, it came just hours after the couple of 19 years were once again beset by divorce rumours, with a nasty tale swirling on Twitter about Becks doing the dirty with a teacher at daughter Harper’s school – a claim that the teacher’s father says is untrue.

Then, adding more fuel to the fire, a British bookmaker stopped accepting bets on the superstar pair announcing their split. The future wasn’t looking very bright for the Beckhams at all.

Unusually, David and Victoria, whose marriage has been routinely punctuated by whispers of divorce, decided to tackle the issue head-on by releasing a statement saying there would be no statement!

“This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time. There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers and fake social media news,” a rep insisted, adding that the rumours were “a crock of s***”.
