According to Bower, David and Victoria lived separately in 2016, with David allegedly accusing Victoria and her publicist of "waging a media war" against him. 

In his book "The House of Beckham," he describes how things were so strained between the famous power couple that they barely spoke and maintained only a "distant business relationship." In the author's words:

"Although the Beckhams could not hide their separate lives, they stuck together to support the Brand." 

The words contained in the book offer a starkly different narrative compared to the Netflix documentary, "Beckham," which treated fans to new details about the pair's romance.

It even touched on those infamous rumors of David's alleged infidelity, which have grown increasingly frequent over the years, per Mirror UK.

The first slew of infidelity rumors hit shortly after David and Victoria began their relationship. At the time when Becks was accused of cheating, Victoria was on tour and pregnant with their first son, Brooklyn. 

Addressing the incident in her 2001 autobiography, "Learning to Fly," Victoria recalled how she "saw red" when her man called to admit he had been accused of kissing another woman.

Her response to the news was to punch him in the face when they physically reunited days later. She confessed, "I hadn't planned it. I hadn't punched anybody before. Just instinct. I just felt angry and hurt." 

Ultimately, Posh chose to believe the English native, and they tied the knot four months after Brooklyn's birth on July 4, 1999.

Unfortunately, five years into the union, the Beckhams faced a major scandal when rumors surfaced that David had an affair with the aforementioned Rebecca Loos. 

According to Loos, who was David's assistant, she and the former soccer player first slept together after "connecting" on a night out with friends. She further claimed that she and David had been sexting up until two weeks before the details made headlines.

While allegations were promptly denied by David Beckham, fans raised their eyebrows when another woman, Sarah Marbeck, asserted that she had an affair with him in 2004.

As Mirror UK reported, Marbeck alleged that they exchanged sexually explicit texts for up to two years and that she slept with him in a hotel in Singapore while he was on tour with Real Madrid.
